STEP #9
Determine next base cabinet to be installed and repeat measuring, pre-drilling and installa-
tion but again, do not fully tighten. Carefully align the face frames of each cabinet with each
other and “C”-clamp together (ILLUSTRATION F). Drill a 3/32” pilot hole in three places
along hinge side of frame and secure with #8 x 2-1/2” trim screws. Continue around the
room until all base cabinets and fillers have been installed. Return to each cabinet for one
last check of level and plumb and tighten screws.
NOTE: You will need to create cutouts for electrical and plumbing in some cabinets. Carefully measure
each location and transfer to BACK of cabinet. Accurately cut holes BEFORE installing cabinetry.
STEP #10
You may now install any tall cabinets (ILLUSTRATION I), base end panels or tall refrigera-
tor panels, if included in your design. Tall cabinets are installed in the same manner as wall
and base cabinets. If your tall cabinet requires an end panel skin, attach to end panel before
installing cabinet (ILLUSTRATION J).
NOTE: If you are installing an oven cabinet, be sure to
consult the appliance manufacturer’s installation
instructions for cutout size and additional bracing or
reinforcement requirements.
Base end panels and tall refrigerator panels are
installed in the same manner. Determine location of
panel and draw a line on floor that represents the
INSIDE edge of the end panel. Attach a wood “cleat”
to floor to create an anchor point for securing end
panel. Attach three (3) “L” brackets to panel at back.
Test fit panel and determine if there is a stud where
“L” brackets will attach to wall. If no stud is present,
install plastic wall anchors.
You are now ready to install skins and matching toe
kick cover. This is a simple measure and cut operation.
Attach matching skins or toe kick cover with finish
nails or pin gun. Construction adhesive may be used
as an alternative (ILLUSTRATION J).
