STEP 5:

Attach 1 x 2 furring strips to wall studs 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 ensure that the cabinets are level. You

are now ready to begin the cabinetry installation. 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.

Take a look at our Care and Adjustment Guide.

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.
