Installation Guide

Step 10: Completing the Installation and Alignment
After cabinets are securely installed to the walls, reinstall all doors, drawers and adjustable shelving. Next, check each door and drawer for
proper alignment.
Example: If the drawer front does not lie ush against the face frame, check that the cabinet is level, both horizontally and vertically. It may
be necessary to realign the drawer guides as well. The drawer guides can be adjusted side to side by moving the slide member by hand
and making the necessary adjustments until the drawer lies ush against the face frame of the cabinet.
IMPORTANT: All doors and drawer fronts must be aligned prior to decorative hardware installation.
Cabinet Care and Maintenance
6-Way Hinge Adjustment
The hinges can be easily adjusted “up and down” by loosening the hinge screws attached to the face frame. Slide the door up or down until
aligned and tighten the screws. The hinges can also be adjusted “side to side” and “in and out”. See below
Trouble Shooting Guide: Problems You Can Handle
Even though your cabinets must pass rigid quality inspection procedures, irregularities arise as a result of shipping and handling procedures.
Also, certain errors during the installation process may cause problems that are not the fault of the cabinet manufacturer. Listed below are
several conditions and causes, as well as remedies for those situations.
Cabinet Cleaning: Interior
Cabinet interiors are surfaced with a urethane-coated laminate that resists scuffs, mars and most common household spills. Wipe with
a damp cloth or sponge. For food residue or grease, use warm water mixed with mild dishwashing liquid to wipe clean. 5% dishwashing
liquid to 95% water is a good ratio. Dry thoroughly. To avoid permanent damage, it is important to clean the spill and dry the surface
immediately.
Problem Possible Cause Solution
Cabinet doors do not align
vertically (up and down).
A hinge is twisted or the cabinet is out of
alignment or "racked."
Make sure the cabinet is plumb and level.
Adjust the door hinges.
Double Doors on a wall or base
cabinet do not line up.
This could be the result of improper cabinet
installation. The cabinet is out of alignment and
is not set level and square (plumb).
Loosen the cabinet from the wall and use
shims to properly square up the cabinet.
Adjust the door hinges.
Space between the two
adjoining doors is too great.
A hinge is out of adjustment. Adjust the door hinges.
Cabinet drawer does not
close evenly.
Drawer alignment is poor. Manually adjust the drawer guide member.
A. In & Out Adjustment

B. Up & Down Adjustment
