Hello everyone,
I am currently working on assembling the IKEA Platsa system and have encountered a challenge that seems very important for the stability and optimal use of the cabinet: maintaining the sweep depth.
My specific question is: How can I ensure that the sweep depth is correctly maintained when building Platsa? Are there any special techniques, tools, or assembly steps that help keep the correct distance to avoid mechanical issues, especially when placing multiple modules side by side?
I understand that with modular cabinet solutions, the correct spacing between the elements is essential to prevent doors and drawers from rubbing or connection profiles from warping. Could someone please describe the important steps, tips, or potential pitfalls in detail?
Thanks in advance for your expertise!

In summary, maintaining the correct abrasion depth for the IKEA Platsa system mainly depends on the following factors:
- Using precise spacers or custom-cut shims
- Checking the parallelism of the carcasses with a square and ruler during assembly
- Adjusting the hinges after hanging the doors to avoid unwanted friction
- Using temporary clamps to hold the modules in the correct position during assembly
- Involving a second person to improve assembly accuracy
This approach minimizes mechanical issues and ensures the long-lasting functionality of the furniture.
Technically, it is advisable to follow the IKEA assembly instructions carefully and to consider any manufacturing tolerances when planning the abrasion depth.
If you have further questions, I am happy to provide additional details.
