I Built a $5,000 Mudroom for Under $1,700
What happens here
The final step involves installing the pre-painted doors and drawer faces onto the mudroom unit. The creator uses a Milescraft EuroHinge Jig to precisely attach the European-style hinges to the doors, ensuring consistent placement. For the drawer faces, he uses the Milescraft Drawer Jig to align and attach the faces to the drawer boxes, which already have the ball bearing slides installed. This jig allows for exact positioning, preventing misalignment. Once the doors and drawer faces are installed, the selected hardware (knobs for doors, pulls for drawers) is attached, completing the mudroom's functional and aesthetic details.
Goal: Install all doors, drawer faces, and hardware
