NOTE: To determine your cabinet’s over-

lay, measure the distance from the

drawer or door to the edge of the face

frame and reference the drawing above.

Remove baseboard and other objects on the wall

area where the cabinets are to be installed. Using a

straight edge and a level, find the high point in the

floor where the cabinets are to be installed. From the

high point, mark a level horizontal line on each wall

where the cabinets will be attached. From the level

lines mark another parallel level horizontal line 35" up

for base cabinets, 54" for wall cabinets and 84", 90"

or 96", depending upon your tall cabinet heights. The

top of the base and tall cabinets and the bottom of

the wall cabinets will be located at these marks.

STEP 2 Locate the studs with a stud finder and mark where the cabinets are to be installed. Remove all the doors and drawers from the cabinets before installation. Measure the area to confirm that the kitchen design used will work. STEP 3 The blind panel will need to be trimmed to size to fit over the opening of your square corner base cabinet. Then the blind panel will need to be drilled for installation. Mark the (8) hole locations shown to the right on the blind panel.

Transfer this measurement to the inside of the wall corner cabinet. Mark the placement of the next wall stud.

STEP 14 After the two cabinets are mounted to the wall, use clamps to clamp the cabinet face frames together firmly. Be careful to line up the bottom horizontal edges. With a 3/32" drill bit, drill starter holes through the face frames near the top and bottom. Insert and tighten the screws. These screws will need to be purchased separately; a #8 x 2 1/2" is recommended. Check cabinet with a level on the cabinet front, sides, and bottom. Shim where necessary.
