Installation of Furniture Accessories

Small upgrades can make a big difference in how your furniture looks, feels, and works every day. We install a wide range of furniture accessories, from hinges and handles to drawer runners and soft close mechanisms, with careful alignment and a clean finish. Whether you are improving storage in a kitchen, refreshing a wardrobe, or adding safety features in a family home, we make sure each fitting works smoothly and lasts.

Accessory installation is often more precise than it seems. A few millimeters can affect door gaps, drawer movement, and long term wear. Our technicians arrive with the right tools, measure accurately, and protect surrounding surfaces so you get a result that looks factory fitted, without the hassle.

What We Install

We handle both new installations and replacements, including upgrades to improve comfort, accessibility, and durability. If you already have the parts, we can fit them. If you are unsure what is compatible, we can assess your furniture and recommend suitable options.

  • Handles and knobs for cabinets, drawers, wardrobes, and bedside units, including drilling new holes and covering old ones where possible
  • Hinges including soft close hinge swaps, concealed hinges, and hinge adjustments for better closing action
  • Drawer runners such as side mount, under mount, soft close, and push to open systems, with careful leveling to prevent sticking
  • Magnetic catches and latches for doors that do not stay shut or need a cleaner closing feel
  • Shelf supports and brackets including extra shelves, reinforced supports, and adjustable shelf systems
  • Furniture legs and feet for leveling, height changes, or replacing damaged legs, including anti scratch pads
  • Wall safety fittings such as anti tip straps for cabinets and tall units
  • Door alignment and fine tuning to correct uneven gaps, rubbing, and misaligned fronts

If your project includes building new items as well as accessories, you can book related furniture assembly services and coordinate everything in one visit.

How the Service Works

Assessment and compatibility check

We start by checking the furniture material and construction, such as chipboard, MDF, solid wood, or laminate, and confirming that the accessory will fit. This includes measuring hole spacing for handles, verifying hinge cup sizes, and checking runner lengths and mounting points. If something is not suitable, we will explain the options before we drill or modify anything.

Precise installation and adjustments

Installation is done with accurate marking, clean drilling, and secure fastening. We align doors and drawer fronts, set consistent gaps, and test movement repeatedly. Soft close and push to open systems are adjusted for reliable triggering and smooth closing, and we ensure the final result is stable, quiet, and easy to use.

Clean finish and aftercare

We protect nearby surfaces, remove installation dust, and leave your space tidy. Before we leave, we demonstrate how the accessory works and advise on simple care steps, such as tightening schedules, gentle cleaning, and avoiding overloading drawers and shelves.

Common Problems We Fix During Accessory Installation

Many accessory jobs reveal underlying issues like worn fixings, loose joints, or damaged holes. We can often resolve these on the spot so the new hardware performs properly. For example, a new handle will not sit firmly if the drawer front is cracked, and new runners will not glide if the cabinet is out of square.

  • Stripped screw holes reinforced with appropriate anchors or repair methods
  • Loose hinges tightened, repositioned, or replaced to stop doors sagging
  • Sticking drawers corrected through runner alignment and cabinet leveling
  • Rubbing doors resolved through hinge adjustments and door alignment checks
  • Wobbly furniture improved with leveling feet and structural reinforcement where needed

If you also need broader fixes, we can combine accessory installation with furniture repair services so everything is stable and working as intended.

Residential and Commercial Accessory Fitting

We install accessories for homes, rentals, and workplaces. In residential settings, we often fit child safety anchors, wardrobe accessories, and soft close upgrades that reduce noise and wear. In commercial spaces, we focus on durability and quick turnaround, helping keep kitchens, offices, and shared areas functional with minimal disruption.

We can work around your schedule, including grouping multiple items in one appointment. If you are moving or reorganizing, we can also coordinate fitting after a reassembly, especially when doors and drawers need re alignment following transport.

To book a visit, share a short list of what you want installed, the furniture type, and any photos of the current hardware. If you are unsure what to buy, we can guide you on sizes and compatibility, or fit what you already have. When you need fitting and setup for new pieces too, choose professional furniture assembly and we will align your accessories as part of the final setup.

With careful measurements, clean workmanship, and thorough testing, we help your furniture feel better to use every day and look finished to a high standard.

FAQ

Can you replace my old cabinet hinges with soft close hinges?

Yes, we can assess your current hinge type and door size, then fit compatible soft close hinges and adjust the alignment. We also check the fixing points so the hinges stay secure and close smoothly.

Do I need to buy handles and drawer runners before the appointment?

If you already have the parts, we can install them. If not, send photos and basic measurements and we can advise on suitable sizes, hole spacing, and runner type so you buy the correct items.

What if the screw holes are stripped or the chipboard is damaged?

We can often reinforce or repair the fixing area so the new hardware holds properly. If the damage is more extensive, we will explain the safest repair options before continuing.
