Then use the screws to install the soft-close hinges into the pre-drilled holes.
Ensure that the cabinet will be swinging in your desired direction once attached to the base.

6. Now we'll be attaching the door to the cabinet. Attach the top hinge to the base by screwing in the top and bottom screws.

Repeat this same process on the bottom hinge.
