Step 5: Level Cabinets
Check the cabinet to ensure it is level and plumb. Shim to ll uneven areas between the oor
and base of the cabinet, and between the wall and the back of the cabinet. Failure to do this
step could result in damage to the cabinet. Pay close attention to the areas that the cabinet
will attach to the wall, making sure that the cabinet bottom is fully supported.
Step 6: Prepare To Anchor Cabinets
Drill through the cabinet back into the prelocated wall studs with a 3∕32” diameter drill bit,
approximately 2” deep. The holes should come no closer than 2” to any inside vertical edge
of the cabinet. Two screw holes should be located in the upper section of the cabinet and
two in the lower section. Cement, block, brick or tile walls will require anchors for screws or
toggle bolts. These will need to be purchased separately, if needed. The size of the hole will
need to be sized according to those purchased anchors.
Step 7: Anchor Cabinets To Wall
Insert the 2½” round washerhead screws into the holes until they are nearly tight. Make sure
the back is fully supported with shims, as needed, and does not bow into any imperfections
in the wall. Ensure that the cabinet is level and plumb, adjust as needed. Tighten the screws
fully and check once more to ensure the cabinet is level and plumb. Re-install the cabinet
doors, drawers and shelving after all cabinets have been installed.
Step 8: Completing The Installation And Alignment
When all of the tall cabinets are securely installed to the walls, the next step is to check each door and drawer for proper alignment.
If adjustments are needed, follow hinge adjustment instructions listed below.
IMPORTANT: All doors and drawer fronts must be aligned prior to decorative hardware installation.

6-Way Hinge Adjustment
The hinges can be easily adjusted “up and down” by loosening the hinge screws attached to the face frame. Slide the door up or down until
aligned and tighten the screws. The hinges can also be adjusted “side to side” and “in and out”. See below for details on adjustments.
