To make a plasterboard walk-in closet, you necessarily need to create a space between the existing wall and the plasterboard counterpart that you are going to build.

The size of this space will automatically be the internal size of the walk-in closet.

After outlining the drawing of the walk-in closet on a sheet of paper, calculate the room measurements and spaces well and proceed with the creation of the plasterboard wall.

Mounting system:

• Lay the corrugated cardboard and cover sheets or, alternatively, the felt cloth on the ground to protect the flooring;

• Outline on a sheet of paper and then transfer on the wall, with a construction pencil, helping with the measurements with a professional tape measure, a positioning scheme of the door hatch in MDF calculating well dimensions and centimeters to avoid errors of installation;

• Position the uprights in such a way that the 10 cm "Door Lock" aluminum frame can fit perfectly between them. N.B: the door sizes are customizable and tailored.

• Synchronize with a construction site square and a magnetic level with vials that the product is squared (ie the corners of the structure are at 90 degrees). Please note: the MDF retractable trap door differs from the previous ones as well as for the technical-mechanical characteristics, also for the assembly system. In fact, the 10 cm "Lock Leaf" aluminum frame must be fixed directly on the vertical uprights with self-drilling screws through the use of a screwdriver with depth adjustment;

• The desired compartment door is thus obtained;

• Then check that the push pull opening system works perfectly. Note: if the door does not close properly, it will be possible to improve its position by adjusting the hinges with a screwdriver;

• Complete everything by placing the plasterboard sheets on the outside of the wall, in adherence to the protruding profile of the frame, for a perfect flush door;

Grouting:

• Now proceed with the professional grouting of the joints and the heads of the screws;

• Then wait for the grout to dry and if necessary pass a second coat (see article on grouting and follow the instructions);

• Sand everything with a manual grinder by removing the excess grout present and flattening any discrepancies in the work;

Decoration and fantasy:

• Now pass a layer of fixative with a brush;

• All that remains is to proceed to decorate and paint the newly created door, leaving room for imagination.

Tools and materials:

• Meter (measuring tape or folding wooden meter)

• Construction pencil

• Magnetic level with vials

• Construction site team 90 degrees

• Screwdriver

• Screwdriver drill with depth adjustment

• Ladder

• Self-drilling screws

• Stucco

• Black bag 200g

• 4x4 cover cloth

ATTENTION: being this type of intervention very delicate, the advice is to contact a highly specialized company that can help you.
