Step 3 of 14
KLEPPSTAD wardrobe step 3 of 14: Fit and lock the vertical interior divider
Push the vertical divider onto the dowels and cam bolts of the bottom panel with its hinge mounting plates facing the wide left compartment. Insert 2 cam locks (119081) and turn them clockwise with a flat screwdriver.
- 1× Vertical divider
- 2× Cam lock
119081
Tools: Flat screwdriver
Common mistake: installing the vertical divider facing the wrong bay. The vertical divider has pre-drilled pilot holes for the middle door’s 109221 hinge plates on its left face and three pairs of shelf-pin holes on its right face. If you flip the divider so the hinge holes face the narrow right compartment or the back, the middle door cannot hang. The switch in the player shows what goes wrong.

Questions
Which way does the vertical interior divider go in the KLEPPSTAD 3-door wardrobe?
The vertical divider sits off-centre between the wide 2-door hanging bay on the left and the narrow 1-door shelving bay on the right. Its pre-drilled pilot holes for the two 109221 hinge mounting plates must face the wide left compartment near the front edge so the middle door can hang on it.
What hardware holds the KLEPPSTAD 3-door wardrobe together?
Twenty wooden dowels (101350), twelve cam bolts (118331), twelve cam locks (119081), thirty back-panel nails (101201), sixteen shelf supports (131372), two clothes-rail screws (108443), six cup hinges (109338) with twelve door screws (100365), six hinge mounting plates (109221) with twelve Euro screws (113287), and two wall brackets (106989) with washers (100823) and screws (109041).
How many shelves come with the IKEA KLEPPSTAD 3-door wardrobe 117×176 cm?
Four shelves are included in the box: one wide top shelf above the clothes rail in the left 2-door bay and three shelves in the right 1-door bay, all resting on sixteen metal shelf supports (131372).
Do I have to anchor the KLEPPSTAD wardrobe to the wall?
Yes. Opening all three hinged doors shifts the centre of gravity forward, so both 106989 top brackets must be anchored into wall studs or masonry plugs before loading the wardrobe.
Safety
Furniture that tips over can cause serious or fatal crushing injuries. Always anchor this KLEPPSTAD wardrobe to the wall using the two 106989 brackets in the box and wall plugs suited to your wall.
About this guide
The part numbers and counts match IKEA's assembly instructions, so you can check each piece against your box. The outer size, 117 × 55 × 176 cm, is IKEA's published size. Board thicknesses, compartment widths and hole coordinates are our own estimates from IKEA’s assembly drawings. The 3D runs faster than real hands do.
Includes 1 clothes rail and 4 interior shelves (1 wide top shelf on the left, 3 shelves on the right); extra KLEPPSTAD shelves can be added.
The manufacturer's instructions are on IKEA's product page (PDF). If something here differs from the manual in your box, follow the manual.
The 3D models, drawings and text are our own. IKEA and KLEPPSTAD are named only to say which product this guide is for.
