A wooden cabinet is an indispensable piece of furniture in most families. With the structure of the material that can be easily affected by moisture, termites or long-term use will often damage some things such as wing discharge, hives, scratches or warping.
Improper self-mending of wooden cabinets will make furniture more damaged, making it difficult to return to its original state.
Installing the sidewalk incorrectly
One of the common mistakes when repairing wooden cabinets is installing the wrong location or the wrong type oforing. The weight-bearing sidewalks are used to help the cabinets open and close flexibly. If installed at a deviation, not adjusted to the correct height or the screws are too tight or loose, the cabinets will easily become shaky and difficult to open or close during use.
Using inappropriate materials
Another common mistake is choosing the wrong type of glue, screws or paint when repairing a wooden cabinet. Natural wood and industrial wood have different properties in terms of expansion, Adhesiveness and load-bearing.
Therefore, if using unsuitable materials, the cabinet after repair can quickly spoil after a short time or become warped due to changes in temperature and humidity.
Not thoroughly treating termites or mold
When the wooden cabinet shows signs of damage, some people only focus on the outside repair, ignoring the inspection and thorough treatment of internal termites and mold. If these harmful agents are not treated at the root, the wood cabinet will quickly deteriorate and can spread to other wood areas in the house.
Using unprofessional tools
The use of saws, bulldozers, drilling machines or non-professional tools can cause the wooden cabinet to crawl sideways, deviate in size or break the connecting structure. The reason is that accurate measurement is not possible, especially for veneer or wood pressing cabinets, which will cause difficulties in repair.
Not dismantling in order
Some people tried to repair the wooden cabinet without properly dismantling the related parts. This method can lead to warping, cracking the sidewalk or breaking the connecting switch, especially for large cabinets or cabinets with multiple compartments.
