DIY BUILT-IN MUDROOM LOCKERS

What happens here

Use a hinge jig to precisely cut the slots for the Euro-style hinges into the doors. Attach the hinges to the doors first, then mount the doors to the locker unit carcasses. Repeat this process for all upper cabinet doors and the lower locker doors. For the pull-out shoe drawers, attach the painted shaker-style door faces directly to the front of the drawer boxes. To ensure handles and knobs don't cause tear-out on the inside of the door, use a small block of wood as a backer while drilling pilot holes. Install chosen handles or pulls onto all doors and drawer faces. Finally, apply small, self-adhesive soft-close bumpers to the back corners of each door and drawer face to prevent slamming and protect the paint finish.

Goal: Cut slots for hinges, attach doors to the locker units, install drawer faces, add decorative handles, and apply soft-close bumpers for a complete and functional locker system.

What they say

that's what it translates to now before we start painting them uh we got to cut out those little uh hole slots for the the hinges there are little jigs like this very inexpensive about maybe 12 15 bucks it has exact thickness and the cutting bit of this part that goes in the back [Music] drawer faces um one issue they're recess right because we have a panel in there so we can't just put it up against it and then put our knobs or handles so so we have a little recess this is just a quarter inch paneling left over oh that's perfect so what i'm going to do is i'm going to cut out the exact dimensions of this put it in here maybe a little wood glue and then start securing it that way it shouldn't crack at us [Music] if you start drilling through here you're gonna have to tear out on the other side so we're gonna use a little stop block
