Installation Guide

STEP #7
Determine next wall cabinet to be installed and repeat
measuring, pre-drilling and installation but again, do not
fully tighten. Carefully align the face frames of each
cabinet with each other and “C”-clamp or “Quick-Grip”
together (ILLUSTRATION F). Drill a 3/32” pilot hole in
three places along hinge side of frame and secure with
#8 x 2-1/2” trim screws. Continue around the room until
all wall cabinets have been installed. Return to each
cabinet for one last check of level and plumb and tighten
screws.
This same method of attachment is also to be used for
fillers. Fillers may need to be cut to size to fill an odd
open dimension between the cabinet and the wall. Hold
the filler in place where it is to be installed. Turn it over
and mark at top and bottom where it needs to be cut.
Connect the two marks using a straight edge and draw
a line to create your cut line. Once cut, install as described above.
STEP #8
Base cabinets are installed in much the same
manner as wall cabinets. Refer to your design
layout to determine what base corner cabinet to
start with (if there is a corner cabinet), and place it
on the floor where it will be installed. If your design
includes a base easy reach or base easy reach lazy
susan (ILLUSTRATION G), measure from the
corner to the first wall stud and transfer this
measurement to the inside of the base cabinet.
Repeat for next stud location. Now measure down
3/4" from inside top of cabinet and intersect these
measurements with the stud location measurements.
Drill through the base cabinet back using a 3/32”
drill bit. Repeat process for adjacent corner back
panel. Move cabinet into place and check for level
and plumb. Shim where necessary and fasten the
cabinet to the wall with #10 x 2-1/2” pan head screws
but do not fully tighten.
If your design includes a blind base cabinet
(ILLUSTRATION H) instead of a base easy reach 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 where it will be installed and repeat all measuring and
pre-drilling as detailed in Step #7. Move cabinet into place
and check for level and plumb. Shim where necessary and
fasten the cabinet to the wall with #10 x 2-1/2” pan head
screws but do not fully tighten.
