Personal log of yet another digital native.

Purpose
- Make the IKEA Rothult fit to the IKEA Enhet
- Make the IKEA Enhet more kid-safe for use as a medicine cabinet
References
- IKEA Enhet - mirror cabinet with 2 doors, white, 60x17x75cm
- IKEA Rothult - smart lock, white
- TinkerCAD: rothult-cabinet-adapters
- Printables: Adapters to Suit IKEA Enhet Cabinet and Rothult Smart Lock

Actions
- The Rothult when placed behind the mirrors of the Enhet, likely due to the metal backing of the mirror panels
- Designed and 3D printed some adapters
- Used the self-designed Door Tab to stop the left door opening if the right door was locked
- Screwed the Rothult to the ceiling of the Enhet, behind the right door
- First time screwing Rothult didn’t work because holding by hand caused it to slide into the unit, which I could not afford due to tight tolerances of the Door Socket
- Removed top shelf of Enhet and F-clamped Rothult to the correct position, then screwed it in
- A rubber bumper on the door added distance from the Rothult latch, too much for tolerance of the Door Socket
- Placed a piece of plastic between the Door Socket and the door, then re-screwed, resulting in correct offset and bolt correctly inserting into Door Socket when door was closed
Observations
- Should have removed shelving to make drilling work easier the first time, refer unused screw hole in second picture
- Should have measured tolerances in-situ to have noticed the rubber bumper on the door that added 2mm to the length of the Door Socket required
