Start with a straight-on overview
Stand in front of the cabinet, close adjacent doors normally and photograph the full unit. An angled photo can change the apparent gaps. Identify which two doors have uneven top or bottom edges and where the difference appears. Number separate kitchen, tall and vanity units instead of calling everything “bad cabinets”.
Check four things on each unit
Observe closed-door gaps and edge lines. Open and close each door gently and note contact with another door or the cabinet. Operate each drawer normally and record sticking or incomplete closing. Finally photograph accessible handles, board edges and visible internal surfaces. Do not dismantle drawers or hinges for this check.
Separate appearance from rubbing
A door can appear uneven yet close normally, or look aligned but rub during opening. Write the two observations separately: “Upper edges differ when closed” and “Right edge contacts adjacent door during opening”. Do not repeatedly force a rubbing door to demonstrate the issue. Preserve a useful photo or normal-operation clip instead.
Name a location you can find again
Use “Kitchen — sink base unit — left door” or “Kitchen — second drawer to the right of hob”. Match an overview to a detail photo. If you include a ruler, show its position clearly. A measurement is a site observation, not a universal acceptance tolerance; compare contractual specifications where applicable.
Example and reinspection
“Kitchen sink base unit, left door: upper edge sits unevenly against the right door when closed. During normal opening, the upper-right corner contacts the neighbouring edge. Photos C01–C03 attached. Please adjust and retest.” After rectification, repeat closing, opening and drawer movement, including adjacent doors.
Keep similar cabinets distinct in Wefect
Room records, photos, descriptions and floor-plan points help distinguish units within one kitchen. Before generating the report, check that each record names a specific cabinet or drawer. An accurate location saves the recipient from searching every door in the room.
Use Wefect to organise your findings
Keep photos, room names, descriptions and locations connected, then prepare an English PDF according to your plan.
