DIY BUILT-IN MUDROOM LOCKERS

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

Instead of a single large face frame, cut individual pieces of 1x3 select pine to create a frame around each locker opening. Apply wood glue to the back of each face frame piece. Carefully align and attach the face frame pieces to the front edges of the plywood locker units using a brad nailer. This method simplifies the process for a large unit and ensures a clean, finished edge for each door opening. Once all face frame pieces are attached, use wood filler to fill in any brad nail holes.

Goal: Measure, cut, and attach individual face frame pieces to each locker opening using wood glue and brad nails to provide a finished look and sturdy attachment points for doors.

Tools and materials

  • Brad Nailer (DeWalt)
  • Miter Saw
  • 1x3 Select Pine
  • Brad Nails (2 to 2.5 inches)
  • Wood Filler

typically face frames are done with pocket holes there would be two pocket holes going in there with pocket screws i wanted to do that i really did but because this giant mudroom locker is so big that would probably be the biggest phrase frame i'd ever make to date so improvise is important improvisation actually is important not improvised these should be sufficient two and maybe a quarter two and a half brad nails wood glue we're going to cut each piece do each individual line at a time make it easy let's have fun
