What tools you'll need
Most of our cabinets are designed for straightforward assembly using only a small number of basic tools. This page outlines the tools you will typically need, along with a few additional items that may be helpful for more specialised designs or fitted installations.
We aim to make cabinet assembly as simple and approachable as possible, using carefully considered fittings and construction methods that balance ease of assembly with long-term strength.
All required fittings and fixings are supplied with your cabinet(s).
Tools you'll need (in most cases)
For most cabinets, you will only need a small number of basic tools:
Screwdriver
A standard hand screwdriver is usually all that is required.
Hammer
Used for securing the back panel with the nails provided.
That’s it for most standard cabinet assemblies.
Our construction methods have also evolved over time to make assembly simpler and more intuitive. Many of our cabinets now use more user-friendly connection methods in place of older fixing systems, helping to create a secure build with fewer tools and less complexity.
Additional tools you may need
Some cabinet designs or installation types may call for a few extra tools, particularly where fitting, scribing, or wall fixing is involved.
Drill
Useful for speeding up screw fixing or drilling into walls where required.
Jigsaw
May be needed for scribing filler panels or trimming certain components such as countertops.
Wood glue
Occasionally helpful for specific joints or assembly details, although it is not required in most cases.
