Shaping holes on the back for a socket or light switch

Shaping a hole in the back of a cabinet, wardrobe or other piece of furniture for a socket or light switch - a professional and safe service

Properly shaping a hole in the back of a cabinet, wardrobe or other piece of furniture for a socket or light switch seems like an easy task, but it requires experience, precision and the right tools. An incorrectly made hole can lead to a cracked back, damaged foil or veneer, problems with the electrical installation and even a safety risk. That is why we offer a professional service for forming back holes for a socket or a light switch in homes and business premises, tailored to the specific location of the furniture and the installation.

What does the service of forming back holes for a socket or a switch include?

Our service is entirely focused on getting a clean, precise and safe hole in the back of your furniture, without damaging the material and without risk to the cables and sockets.

Precise measurement and planning

• On-site inspection and consideration of the position of the socket or switch in the wall.
• Measuring the distances from the floor, walls and adjacent modules to ensure ideal positioning.
• Marking the exact dimensions according to the frame of the socket or switch.

Professional drilling and cutting

• Using appropriate tools for wood, chipboard, MDF and other materials.
• Cleanly shaped edges without swelling, splitting and chipping the board.
• Adjusting the type of mechanism - single, double socket, switch, light button and others.

Final fit and check

• Test fitting the socket or switch frame for a perfect fit.
• Checking that the cables are not pinched and have enough space behind the back of the furniture.
• Visual check to make sure everything looks neat and finished.

If necessary, we can combine the shaping of openings with services for assembly and repair of furniture, so that you get a completely finished result without the need for additional craftsmen.

Advantages of professional shaping of socket or key holes

Working with a professional saves you time, nerves and unnecessary costs for repairs of damaged boards or incorrectly made holes.

No risk of damage to the furniture

The backs of cabinets and wardrobes are often made of thin boards that are easily torn if cut incorrectly. We use appropriate drills and saws that reduce vibrations and ensure a smooth cut without chipping. This way you avoid loose holes and unsightly edges.

Safety when working near electrical installations

When making openings around sockets and switches, there is always a risk of cables or boxes being affected. We carefully plan and work so that the integrity of the electrical installation is not compromised and its safety is fully maintained.

Aesthetically pleasing finish

A well-shaped opening makes furniture look as if it was custom-made for the specific room. The socket or switch fits exactly in the opening, the frame fits snugly and the back of the cabinet does not twist or bulge. If desired, we can combine this with furniture assembly on site to get a finished and tidy interior.

When is the back opening service needed

The service is suitable for both new furniture and already installed interiors, when there is a need for additional sockets or changes in the layout.

For new furniture

• You are installing a new kitchen and need to make openings behind cabinets for sockets, extractor hood, lighting.
• You are placing a wardrobe or section in front of a wall with a light switch or socket.
• You want everything to be tidy from the first day without temporary and compromise solutions.

For changes and repairs

• You are moving cabinets or wardrobes and they already cover existing sockets or switches.
• You are adding new electrical appliances and additional openings are needed in the backs.

For homes and businesses

We work both in private homes and in offices, shops, salons and other commercial premises, where there is a lot of furniture and equipment, and sockets and switches must remain easily accessible and well-arranged.

Our goal is to save you time and inconvenience by making the necessary openings professionally, cleanly and without damage. You get a reliable performance that does not require additional adjustments and extends the life of your furniture.
