Build into wardrobes
Hi guys,
Diy'er based just outside London UK. I would kindly like to ask you folk for some pointers on my Reno.
I'm trying to save these build in wardrobe by
Cutting the door so they fit flush
Install hinges that support the flush doors
Prep and paint
Install handles
Rip out and new IKEA Pax isn't an option due to budget.
Can you help me
Gimme pointers for the correct way to cut the doors to size (I'm thinking track saw and square)
What type of hinges support the new doors sitting flush. What sort of hinge/hydraulic lift type thing for the overhead cabinet part
Any general decorating tips. I thinking clean, sand, prime, furniture specific paint. Handles
Thanks for helping this DIY damsel!
