Custom closet questions for Lawrenceville.

Price follows the layout, the products and the installation scope. Have optional accessories and preparation work listed on their own lines so you can compare them.

Check which clothes you can reach without moving others, see where hangers from two walls will meet, and put occasional items in the awkward corners.

Photograph the opening with each door panel pushed aside, compare drawer fronts with the open width and record the tracks that limit depth.

Include handles and lids when measuring bins, leave room to slide each one out, and say what each shelf will hold and how often you open it.

Measure the biggest packs you buy, keep daily items where you reach them first, and don't hide small jars behind large boxes.

Measure the printer with trays out, mark the covers that open for servicing and leave a way to reach cables.

Measure the containers you will store, decide who reaches each group and keep the storage directions that come with each product.

Ask for the panel, surface, edge and hardware details, and match them to the sample. A color name alone doesn't describe how a cabinet is built.

State what has to be removed, which fittings stay and how the installer gets into the room. For a garage, include where the cars are normally parked. Ask which preparation work and which separate trades are included.

Get the care information for the products that are really supplied. Finishes that look alike may need different care, and an illustration doesn't identify a product.
