72" Cabinets are intended to attach to and hang from the wall only. The Cabinets have 3 attachment points: top, middle
& bottom to ensure a rm attachment. Follow these instructions to mount these larger cabinets to your wall.
1. Before you begin, make sure that your wall is smooth and plumb – remove any obstructions such as old closet
organizers or cabinets that may interfere with the installation.
2. By using your tape measure and level mark the locations of your cabinets on the wall – Note the type of closet
doors you have and plan accordingly, so that cabinet doors and drawers will open fully without obstruction!
3. Use your stud nder to locate the studs in your wall – mark either side of the stud and the center point, to show
where you need to hit with your installation screws. If necessary adjust the location of your cabinets slightly to
enable you to hit the required studs easily – adjust all your cabinet location marks.
4. Transfer these measurements to the three horizontal installation rails, along the back of the wall cabinet at top,
middle and bottom.
5. Drill (2) mounting holes thru each installation rail where the studs marks are with a 3/32" drill bit.
6. Next attach 1 x 2 furring strips directly below the “wall cabinet bottom level line” to the studs with wood screws
(ILLUSTRATION A). These temporary support strips will help to support the weight of the cabinets during
installation, and insure that the cabinets are level. You are now ready to begin the cabinetry installation and
it is recommended that you remove all doors, drawers and shelves from each cabinet prior to installing to
prevent damage.
7. Refer to your design layout to determine the location of the rst cabinet. Raise cabinet into place resting on the
furring strip and fasten the cabinet to the studs with #10 x 2½" pan head screws but do not fully tighten.
