ATTACHMENT TO WALL
On base cabinets, don’t attach cabinets to the wall until all cabinet face frames are
fastened together. Re-check each cabinet for level front to back and side to side. Check
each front for plumb. Add shims if there is any space between cabinet and wall to avoid
pulling the cabinet out of square.
For base cabinets, use a 1/8" bit to drill through the cabinet back and hang rail, 1" down
from the top of the cabinet. Pre-drill through the shims to each wall stud location.

Use a sharp bit and let the bit do the drilling gradually.
For wall cabinets, use the Wall Outline and measure the distance from the cabinet outline
to the wall stud and transfer that dimension to the back of the cabinet.
TIP: When transferring this dimension, use a spacer to account for the difference between the
width across the frame and the width across the back of the cabinet.
INSTALLER NOTE: Verify this offset dimension for the spacer since it may vary
based on the cabinet model. For wall cabinets, pre-drill a 7/32" clearance hole
through the back rail of the cabinet at the wall stud locations while the cabinet
is on the oor.
