What happens here
Begin by removing all cabinet doors. Use a power drill or screwdriver to unscrew the hinges from the cabinet frame. Once the doors are detached, set them aside carefully. Next, remove any drawer fronts. For drawer fronts that are separate from the drawer box, unscrew them from the inside. For drawer boxes that slide out completely, remove the entire drawer, including the front, by pressing on the white release clips on the drawer slides and pulling the drawer forward. Set all removed components aside in a safe place, ensuring they are labeled if necessary for reassembly.
Goal: Detach all movable cabinet components
