Default Hiding flat-pack cam holes

Management is complaining about the holes she can see on the underside
of some flat-pack wall cupboards. They're the access to the cams on the
base/side fixings.

Is there an easy way to hide them?

Make her wear a blindfold while you're doing her on the worktop?

You mean the cross dowels ? Which are in around 8mm - 10mm holes ?

This sort of thing ?

http://www.screwfix.com/p/cross-dowe...FQYewwod8ZEJLQ

or the holes for the 6mm bolts that go through the cross dowels.

In both cases, assuming you'll not want to dismantle the cabinets
in situ but take them down in one piece then you could just plug the
holes with a non shrink filler. Getting a flush finish should be easy
colour-matching may be a probelem whatever you do.

WE have some flatpack furniture here that came with litte matching
circular stickers, which were stuck over the holes for such things.

Make something from laminate chipboard edging strips?

Buy her some high-heels?




Or stick some white(?) insulating tape over them ...

That's the fitting, but there were no discs. And it's an IKEA kitchen.

Well hi thee to Ikea in search of replacements. If no joy try screw
covers from the likes of B&Q (£1 for 20).

or similar, look about sure you will see something along those lines.

Apart from blindfolding her or not letting her bend down low enough to see
under things, I would suggest she gets a letter of to the manufacturer as
you only did what you are supposed to do.
