Left Hand Drive Right Hand Drive
The kit sets work in either. Most parts are universal but several components have to be mirrored so pay attention as to whether its left or right-hand drive
So you have just unpacked your Vapartment Kit Set.
Oh no Pieces every where, all looking chaotic.
Here is a simple method.
Just like all jig saw puzzles start with the obvious. Start assembling all the pieces into the obvious groups.
Put all the small pieces in a box.
Stage 1
Organize your tools, assemble the work bench.
I have found the best practice for the quickest and best result is to find all the port holes and facias that need portholes and install them into their respective positions.
Use the trimmer / router to round off all the hard edges. If you haven't used before practice on the work bench legs.
Take your time with the hinges.
These are very visual and you want the even so use wedges to keep centered , centre punch the centre of the screw with a drill bit the same size as the hole . A gentle tap with a hammer is sufficient. This will ensure that the hinge screw is centre of hole.
Use your battery drill on slow speed when screwing.
Install all the door jams and fit the door knob as shown.

Stage 2
Find all the small pieces in the groups shown.
Counter sink all screw holes.
Assemble as shown.
Use clamps to hold parts in position.
Take your time to ensure all parts are square and even as shown.
Stage 3
Move onto the bigger parts. These are exactly the same as the smaller parts, just bigger so once again use clamps and take a little xtra time to get it right.
