INSTALLING WALL CABINETS
Whether you start at a corner or an end, the general approach with wall cabinet installation is to:
1. Mark on the back of the cabinet where the cabinet will line up with the wall studs (see further instructions page 13).
2. Predrill the hang rails at the stud locations
3. Position the cabinet with a support
4. Loosely attach the cabinet to the wall (or ceiling for peninsulas)
5. Shim and level
6. Attach the face frames together
7. Tighten the cabinet to the wall (or ceiling for peninsulas)
By installing the wall cabinets first, you won’t have to reach over the base cabinets to install the wall cabinets. This will lessen the likelihood of damage to
base cabinets during the installation process.
TALL CABINETS
Double check the height of your tall cabinets against their intended location on your project layout. Be sure to consider soffits, and how the tall cabinets will
line up with surrounding cabinets.

Installation Requirements
YOUR RESPONSIBILITY AS THE INSTALLER
o Installation is done properly.
o Door and drawers will require some adjustments at the end.
o Cabinets too far out of level, not shimmed correctly, or supported correctly will end up exceeding
the range of adjustment the product was designed for.
WARNING: Failure to follow these guidelines could result in a cabinet falling off the wall,
possibly resulting in serious injury, and will void the product warranty.
WARNING: DO NOT attempt to lift a cabinet out of the carton; this may result in damage
to the cabinet or injury to yourself.
CARTON REMOVAL
Open only the cartons you will need as you progress through the installation. Leave other cabinets
cartoned, out of your way and safe from damage. The product label is located on the front, top, left-hand
corner on each carton. This will assist in determining the top and front of each cabinet. Lay cartons on the
back, one at a time. Cut the bottom tape only; do not cut sides. Fold back bottom flaps or cut them off.
Stand the cabinet upright and lift carton off from the top.
WARNING: Be careful to follow the leveling, shimming, and support process outlined to
avoid exceeding the adjustment limits of the cabinet door hinges and drawer slides.
