Hang Doors, Install Hardware, and Final Reveal
At 23:22 in
I Built a $5,000 Mudroom for Under $1,700
What happens here
Hang the painted doors on the mudroom lockers and upper cabinets. The creator made an executive decision to switch the direction of the upper cabinet doors to open in a traditional fashion (downwards) rather than symmetrically outwards, to align with a more conventional cabinet aesthetic. Use a Milescraft Euro Hinge Jig to accurately install the concealed hinges onto the cabinet doors and frames. This jig helps maintain consistent spacing and depth for the hinge cups and screw placement. Once the doors are installed, attach the drawer faces to the drawer boxes using the Milescraft DrawerJig, ensuring perfect alignment. Finally, install the gold drawer pulls and door knobs/pulls to complete the look. The final budget breakdown is presented, showing a total cost of $1,662.03, saving approximately $5,000 to $10,000 compared to professional installation.
Goal: Complete mudroom assembly, install hardware, and review final budget
