The two insert folding doors cabinets were sold as an extra option with the cabinet. You slide the cabinets into the chosen compartment with 2 glides. You can assemble the cabinet entirely to your taste using a special system. The colored plates in yellow and dark blue will first have to be secured before the cabinet is slide in. For the upper or lower part at the back. Once these two cabinets have been placed in the compartment, they can be screwed to the wall from the inside, so that the whole cabinet is fixed.
