DIY BUILT-IN MUDROOM LOCKERS
What happens here
Carefully lift and position the assembled base locker units onto the installed toe-kick. Use clamps to hold the units together, creating a continuous surface, and then drive screws through the sides to permanently join them. Secure the entire base unit assembly to the pressure-treated toe-kick using screws. Repeat this process for the upper locker units, placing them on top of the base units and securing them to each other and into the wall studs. Use a level extensively during this step to ensure all surfaces are perfectly flat and plumb, as any misalignment will affect the fit of the doors later. Use shims behind the units where the wall is wavy to achieve a flush fit. Drive screws into the wall studs to anchor the entire locker carcass securely.
Goal: Place and secure the assembled base and upper locker units onto the toe-kick and against the wall, ensuring they are level and plumb.
