Screw Holes In Kitchen Cabinet

[zhiz 4]

Hi

just wondering what is the fair amt of screw holes that is acceptable for your kitchen cabinet. Its those screw holes used for shelving but probably screw wrong positions.

if there are too numerous screw holes, is it reasonable to get the contractor to redo the cabinet?

Alternatively, for a greener method, you can use wood putty to fill up the holes. And paint to your cabinet color.

If it's really that bad, you can get your contractor to change. Discuss amicably.

If only there's $20 discount per wrong hole.

I would have saved hundreds from all the holes added.

The usual practice is to patch up the holes with some putty.

Some do it nicely, some just smear it, you will know when it yellows in time.

wow... my newly installed carpentary works too, suffered from those multiple such raw holes and cannot justify acceptance.

its not the dollars-&-cents issue, totally case of bad judgement and poor trust on my ID i am paying them proper rates.

i cannot believe the standard of carpentary work i received so far. i went to view yesterday nite and passed my friendly comments to my ID this afternoon, and i am giving the team few more days to touch-up and rectify the ugly cheap (peeling paint) handles they installed. besides uneven shelvings and bad alignment, i have a total crap load of carcass with multiple raw holes from error drilling. Cannot comprehend how can such products pass their factory QC and kana installed (as PERMANENT fixtures) without site inspection. bad joints, peeling laminates were also sighted.

i have requested for better hinges and drawer tracks, i cannot imagine how much adverse the situation is if i stick to their regular options. i am contemplating not to foot the topup at all.

if these are not rectified to an acceptable standard, i will expose this relatively new ID firm in their dedicated thread serv

wow, sounds really bad. But if ID still open to all and willing to rectify properly, maybe still can give second chance? btw I cannot imagine what raw holes u r referring to?

thank you for your reply... didnt tell him yet

holes are drilled but not used for hinges/shelves as in wrong location or of bad alignment.... the carcass are of height about 2.3m, their joints were badly done, the handles were the real joke, all edges were not even, when we removed from the barely-dried-yet cut-outs, the paint either peel onto the masking tape or remained on the soft glue...... i am those chingchye type, was still soft when going through with my ID, i have to give some chances for touch-up and rectification.
