STEP #5

Attach 1 x 2 furring strips directly below the

“wall cabinet bottom level line” with wood

screws (ILLUSTRATION C). These

temporary support strips will help to support

the weight of the cabinets during installation,

and insure that the cabinets are level. You are

now ready to begin the cabinetry installation

and it is recommended that you remove all

doors, drawers, shelves and roll-out trays

from each cabinet prior to installing to

prevent damage. Consult your cabinetry

manufacturer’s website for door/drawer removal and adjustments. For ease of installation,

begin by installing wall cabinets first.

STEP #6

Refer to your design layout to determine

what wall corner cabinet to start with (if

there is a corner cabinet), and place it on the

floor below where it will be installed.

Measure from the corner to the first wall

stud and transfer this measurement to the

inside of the wall cabinet. Repeat for next

stud location. Now measure down 3/4" from

inside top of cabinet, and 3/4" from inside

bottom of cabinet and intersect these

measurements with the stud location

measurements. Drill through the wall

cabinet back using a 3/32” drill bit. Repeat

process for adjacent corner back panel.

Raise cabinet into place resting on

temporary rails and fasten the cabinet to the

wall with #10 x 2-1/2” pan head screws but

do not fully tighten. Check for level and shim

where necessary (ILLUSTRATION D). You

may also construct a support wood “T”

brace to hold the front edge of cabinet in

place until you have attached to wall

(ILLUSTRATION D1).

If your design includes a blind wall cabinet (ILLUSTRATION E) instead of a wall corner

cabinet, consult your design to determine the distance the cabinet is to be installed from the

wall corner. Always measure distance using the front frame width of the cabinet and not the

end panel width of the cabinet. Place cabinet on floor below where it will be installed and

repeat all measuring and pre-drilling as detailed in Step #5. Raise cabinet into place resting

on temporary rails and fasten to wall with #10 x 2-1/2” pan head screws but do not fully

tighten. Check for level and shim where necessary.
