Used & new Wardrobes & Storage for sale in Islamabad & Rawalpindi
Where can I buy used wardrobes & storage in Islamabad?
A used wardrobe is judged on its carcass and its fittings rather than its finish: a box still square, with hanging rail, shelves, pins and any key present, keeps its use. Measure your doorway and the turn at the head of the stairs before committing to a full-height unit, since that measurement rules out more wardrobes than any fault does. A For Parts / Repair almirah is bought for doors and hardware.
What to check before buying a used wardrobes & storage
These are the checks that set the condition grade on anything we list — and the ones worth running yourself wherever you buy.
Slide each door end to end
A sliding door should travel the full width under light finger pressure and stay level at both ends. Grinding, or a door that lifts and rides out of its channel, means worn rollers or grit packed in the bottom track. Rollers are a standard replacement; a bent track is much less so.
Pull a hinged door's top corner
Open the door and pull gently outward at the top corner. If the hinge cup shifts inside the panel, the particle board around it has stripped and the door will drop again after any repair. A steel hinge plate screwed into solid wood takes the same test without moving.
Read the gaps around the doors
Stand back and look at the margins. Even gaps top and bottom mean the carcass is still square; a wedge-shaped gap that narrows towards one corner means the box has racked, usually from being dragged or moved without its back panel fixed on.
Press the back panel
Reach behind and push the hardboard back. That thin panel is what holds a wardrobe square, so a back that is torn, missing or hanging off its pins explains most racked carcasses and is worth checking before anything else.
Open drawers, turn the lock
Pull each drawer fully out on its runners; runners that sag or grate when the drawer is empty will fail once it holds clothes. On a steel almirah, ask for the key and turn the locker lock both ways, because a lost key means a locksmith or a drilled lock.
Check the base for damp and rust
Smell inside and run a hand along the bottom shelf and the lower back corners. A wardrobe that stood against an exterior wall picks up mildew in the board, and a steel almirah left on a wet floor rusts upward from the base, often underneath sound-looking paint.
