Tools Needed
- Phillips screwdriver / drill
- Hex key (included)
- Stud finder
- Level
- Drill with wall-anchor bits
Parts Checklist
- Cabinet frame side/top/bottom panels
- Back panel
- Cam locks, dowels, screws
- Wall-mounting suspension rail + screws
- Adjustable feet (base cabinets)
Critical Steps
- Locate wall studs BEFORE mounting the suspension rail — drywall anchors alone are not enough.
- Level the suspension rail across the whole run before hanging any cabinet.
- Adjust the cabinet's front feet last, after it's hung, to get doors level.
Pro Tips
- SEKTION wall cabinets MUST be anchored via the suspension rail into wall studs — IKEA warns of serious injury risk from falling if not properly fastened.
- Verify wall type (drywall over studs vs masonry) before drilling — screws/anchors are not included.
