Can I Assemble and Install These Cabinets, Or Is This Too Big of a Project for Me?

Ordering a custom garage cabinet system is exciting. But many times there’s a moment where people pause and think:

“Wait… can I really do this myself?”

If that’s you, take a deep breath — we’ve got good news.

 

Yes, You Can Absolutely Install These Cabinets Yourself.

At GarageCabinets.com, we’ve helped thousands of homeowners — from first-time DIYers to seasoned pros — successfully install their WorkSpace Storage Cabinets. If you’ve ever assembled furniture or hung a shelf, you’re more than capable of completing this project.

Let’s walk through what makes this totally doable — even if you’ve never taken on a garage makeover before.

Designed for DIYers, Down to the Last Detail

Our cabinets are built with real homeowners in mind — not professional installers. Every cabinet is precision-cut on CNC machines, pre-drilled, and packaged with a clear step-by-step plan.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Flat-packed parts, organized and ready to go
  • Pre-drilled panels that line up perfectly
  • Cam-and-dowel construction for easy, sturdy assembly
  • Clear, printed instructions (plus videos and phone/email support if needed)
  • No cabinet-making skills required — just a little time and the right tools

Step-by-Step Videos That Make Installation a Breeze

We know that clear instructions can make all the difference—especially for DIYers. That’s why we’ve created a full series of Step-by-Step Installation Videos for our WorkSpace Cabinets. Each video walks you through how to assemble and install a specific type of cabinet, so you’ll never feel lost or overwhelmed during your project. Whether it’s a tall cabinet, base cabinet, or overhead unit, we show you exactly what to do. These videos are perfect for visual learners and make the entire process fast, simple, and frustration-free.

What Tools Do You Need?

Not much, actually. Here’s what most people use:

  • Cordless drill or screwdriver
  • Rubber mallet
  • Level
  • Tape measure
  • Stud finder (for wall-mounting)

If you’ve ever put together a bookshelf from IKEA or tackled a weekend home project, this will feel familiar — but a whole lot sturdier and more satisfying.

Need Help? You’re Not on Your Own.

This is where GarageCabinets.com really shines compared to big box stores.

When you order from us, you’re not just getting a set of boxes — you’re getting expert support from real people who care.

  • Talk to a real project designer (yes, an actual human!)
  • Call or email if you get stuck — we’ve got your back
  • Watch detailed how-to videos and reference helpful diagrams
  • Ask us about layout tips, mounting advice, and tool recommendations

We’ve been doing this since 1985 — and we’ll be here when you need us.

Prefer to Have It Installed?

No problem. If DIY isn’t your thing, many of our customers choose to hire a local handyman, contractor, or carpenter to handle the assembly. Because our cabinets are custom-designed and pre-cut, it’s a simple install for any professional.

The result? You get a custom garage storage system without the contractor markup.

So… Can You Do This?

Absolutely.

If you’re a capable DIYer — or even just willing to try — you can install our cabinets. And if you hit a snag? We’re just a phone call away.

This project is completely within reach — and incredibly rewarding.
