Walkthrough checklist
- Sort tools by task and separate hazardous or sharp items.
- Place heavy items low and frequently used items at comfortable reach.
- Keep the cupboard clear of electrical panels, shutoffs or equipment access.
Worked example
Batteries, bulbs, and small tools share a crowded cupboard, making it hard to find items during repairs.
Separate consumables from tools in labeled trays and keep the most-used items at eye or hand height. Verify the cupboard still closes with the longest tool stored inside.
How to test it
Locate a common repair item quickly and return it without unloading other shelves.
Apply it to this space
