WARNING
TO PROPERLY SECURE WALL CABINETS LARGER THAN
15” WIDE, AND TO REDUCE THE RISK OF CABINETS
FALLING AND CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY, USE AT LEAST 4
INSTALLATION SCREWS AND MAKE SURE THE SCREWS GO
INTO THE STUDS AT LEAST 1”.
2.5
In order to attach two cabinets, you will need to clamp
them together first. Then, drill a
3
⁄32” pilot hole in three
places along the hinge side of the frame ensuring that the
holes do not interfere with the hinge placement. Finally,
drive in the #8 x 2
1
⁄2” frame attachment (trim head) screws
to join the two cabinets. (Figure 8)
2.6
IMPORTANT: Check to make sure the frames are even and
plumb.
2.7
Continue for the remainder of the cabinets and fillers
following the layout provided by your designer.
2.8
Once all cabinets are pre-assembled on the floor, measure from
the corner to the first stud mark and transfer the measurement
to the inside of the cabinet to be installed. Repeat this step for
each and every stud. Now drill
7
⁄32” holes for mounting through
the top and bottom hanging rails inside of the cabinet
3
⁄4” down
from the top and
3
⁄4” up from the bottom. (Figure 9)
2.9
Fillers must also be pre-drilled and screwed into position.
Refer to STEP 4–INSTALL FILLERS… for more information
about measuring, cutting and installing fillers.

then disassemble wall cabinets before installing.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SERIOUS OR FATAL INJURY,
REMOVE ALL SCREWS AND DISASSEMBLE WALL CABINETS
BEFORE INSTALLING.
CABINETS MAY BE TOO HEAVY FOR ONE PERSON TO SAFELY
LIFT ALONE.
THIS INSTALLATION GUIDE APPLIES TO ONLY WOOD
STUD CONSTRUCTION. IF YOU ARE SECURING CABINETS
TO ANOTHER MATERIAL, CONSULT AN INSTALLATION
PROFESSIONAL TO IDENTIFY THE PROPER FASTENERS.
NEVER USE NAILS TO INSTALL CABINETS BECAUSE DOING
SO MAY DAMAGE CABINETS OR FAIL TO PROPERLY SECURE
THEM WHICH MAY RESULT IN DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY.
TIGHTENING BACK RAILS AGAINST A CROOKED WALL
WITHOUT SHIMS CAN BREAK JOINTS BETWEEN THE RAIL
AND THE BODY OF THE CABINET, CAUSING IT TO FALL FROM
THE WALL AND POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY.
