Before you begin
Preparation and safety panels showing a Phillips screwdriver is needed, the tall unit must not be assembled or moved upright alone, assembly should be done on a soft surface to avoid damage, and to contact IKEA if parts are missing or help is needed.
Before you begin
Two bordered safety panels show that tall furniture must not stand unsecured and must not be pushed while tipping; it should be fixed to the wall to prevent tip-over.
Step 1
Attach the anti-tip wall bracket to the top of the tall cabinet and secure it to the wall using a suitable screw and washer through the slotted bracket hole.
Step 2
The assembler screws three mounting plates onto the inside front row of holes of the tall cabinet, using the chosen left- or right-hand door orientation shown above.
Step 3
Three hinge mounting plates and cover caps are positioned on the long panel, the plates are fastened with screws, and the caps are pressed into the large holes.
Step 4
Align the three door hinges with the cabinet mounting plates, slide each hinge onto its plate, and tighten the locking screw to secure the door.
Step 5
The installer inserts and tightens one screw through the cabinet side into the door-side buffer/stop piece using a screwdriver, as shown by the magnified callout.
Step 6
Place three adhesive bumpers on the cabinet frame where the door meets it, as shown by the zoom callout, with the mirrored door open on its hinges.
