Now measure up from the wall cabinet base line the same

distance as the height of your cabinets (30

⁄8”, 36

⁄8” or

⁄8”). This will be the top line for the wall cabinets. Any

non-standard height wall cabinets need to line up with this

top line as well. (Figure 3)

NOTE: IF YOU HAVE A LOW CEILING OR SOFFIT, YOU MUST

MAKE SURE THAT THE WALL CABINETS WILL FIT PROPERLY

BETWEEN YOUR LEVEL LINE AND THE TOP.

Step 2 Prepare Wall & Corner Wall Cabinets

Using the 1 x 2 or 1 x 3 furring strips, screw a support rail

into the studs with 2” wood screws below the baseline you

have drawn for the wall cabinets. This will help support

the weight of the wall cabinets, and give you something to

rest the cabinets on when installing them. Make sure your

support rail (sometimes called a cleat or ledger board) is

level. (Figure 4)

You are now ready to pre-assemble the wall cabinets.

It is recommended that you install wall-mounted cabinets

first so the base cabinets won’t be in your way as you work. To

begin, most people find it helpful to lay out the cabinets on the

floor in position, level and plumb, and pre-assemble them before

hanging.

2.1

Remove all shelves and doors. You might want to mark (or

carefully stack them in position) for reinstalling later. This

will make the cabinets lighter and easier to handle.

(Figure 5)

2.2

Refer to the layout provided by your designer and start with

the corner cabinet (if there is one) and place it on the floor

below where it is to be mounted.

NOTE: WHEN INSTALLING A BLIND WALL CABINET, MAKE

SURE THE CABINET IS PULLED OUT FROM THE CORNER THE

APPROPRIATE DISTANCE AS CALLED FOR IN YOUR KITCHEN

PLAN. ALWAYS BE SURE TO USE A FILLER TO ALLOW FOR

HINGE CLEARANCE.

2.3

One by one, align the remainder of the cabinets and fillers

in position on the floor using the plan provided by the

designer. (Figure 6)
