Installation Guide

STEP 9:

Determine next base 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 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 base cabinets and

ﬁllers have been installed. Return to each cabinet for one last check of level and plumb and tighten

screws.

NOTE: You will need to create cutouts for electrical and plumbing in some cabinets. Carefully

measure each location and transfer to BACK of cabinet. Accurately cut holes BEFORE

installing cabinetry.

STEP 10:

You may now install any tall cabinets (ILLUSTRATION I), base end panels or tall refrigerator panels,

if included in your design. Tall cabinets are installed in the same manner as wall and base cabinets.

If your tall cabinet requires an end panel skin, attach to

end panel before installing cabinet (ILLUSTRATION J).

NOTE: If you are installing an oven cabinet, be sure

to consult the appliance manufacturer’s installation

instructions for cutout size and additional bracing

or reinforcement requirements.

Base end panels and tall refrigerator panels are

installed in the same manner. The refrigerator panel will

need to be assembled. Determine location of panel and

draw a line on ﬂoor that represents the INSIDE edge of

the end panel. Attach a wood “cleat” to ﬂoor to create

an anchor point for securing end panel. Attach three

(3) “L” brackets to panel at back. Test ﬁt panel and

determine if there is a stud where

“L” brackets will attach to wall. If no stud is present,

install plastic wall anchors.

You are now ready to install skins if needed, toe kick

or decor end panels. This is a simple measure and cut

operation. Attach matching skins or toe kick cover with

ﬁnish nails or pin gun. Construction adhesive may be used

as an alternative (ILLUSTRATION J).
