STEP 3: Wall Box Installation
3a Start by hanging the wall corner box in the corner of the room.
3b If Install Guide Rails are used, hook the cabinet box onto the guide rail using
the notched portion of the box back.
3c Measure from the corner of the wall to the stud marks and transfer the marks to
the inside of the box.
3d Drill through the wall box back where the support rails are located and into the
pre-located studs with a 3/32 in. diameter drill bit, approximately 2 in. deep.
Holes should not be drilled within 2 in. of any inside edge of the box
3e Insert the 10 x 2 ½ in. Washer-Head Cabinet Box Installation Screws (not
included), into the holes until they are nearly tight.
3f Do not tighten the screws until you nish all nal leveling and shimming.
3g Check the front, sides and bottoms of all wall boxes with a level. After the box
is level and square, fully tighten the 10 x 2 ½ in. Washer-Head Cabinet Box
Installation Screws.
3h Install the adjustable shelves (B) using the provided shelf pins (BB).
CAUTION: Never use nails to mount boxes. The use of nails will void your factory
warranty, written or implied. Cement, block, brick or tile walls require anchors for
screws or toggle bolts.
STEP 4: Adjacent Wall Box Installation
4a Continue with your wall box installation by placing the next box on the guide
rail. Be careful to line up the bottom horizontal edges.
4b With the provided connecting bolts and nuts (AA), fasten the two boxes
together through the 4 pre-drilled holes located on each end of the box.
4c Depending on the conguration of your kitchen, some boxes may need to be
fastened together with standard 1 in. taper head wood screws (not included).
4d Shim the box as necessary to make it level.
4e Fasten the box to the wall as previously mentioned in Steps 3d-3h.
4f Continue installing the remainder of your wall boxes in the same manner.
Note: If installing a single wall box, follow instructions shown in Step 5 for proper
installation.
STEP 5: Single Wall Box Installation
5a Follow Steps 1-3 to prepare the wall for your box.
5b The cabinet box should be located so the studs you plan to attach to do not fall
within 2 in. of the inside vertical edges.
5c Make sure the box is level and square.
5d Shim to ll uneven areas between the wall and back of the box. Failure to do
this step could result in damage to the cabinet box.
5e Pay close attention to the locations where you plan to screw the boxes to the
wall to make sure there are no voids between the box and wall.
5f Drill through the box back into your pre-located stud(s) with a 3/32 in. diameter
bit, 2 in. deep in a minimum of 4 places.
5g The holes should be no closer than 2 in. and no further than 12 in. from any
inside vertical edge and 2 in. from the inside of the top and bottom. (see
illustration)
5h The holes should also be located at the top and bottom of the cabinet box back.
The use of 10 x 2 ½ in. Washer-Head Cabinet Box Installation Screws (not
included) is required.
STEP 1: Prepare For Box Installation
1a Remove base boards and other objects on the wall area where the boxes are
to be installed. Using a straight edge and a level, nd the high point in the oor
where the boxes are to be installed.
1b From the high point, mark a level horizontal line on each wall where the boxes
will be attached

.
1c Mark another line 35 in. up from the rst line
2
.
1d From those lines mark another horizontal line 54 in. up
3
for the bottom of wall
boxes or 77-3/4 in. up
4
if you are using the optional Install Guide Rail for wall
boxes and 84 in. up
5
for utility box heights.
1e Locate wall studs with a stud nder and mark them where the boxes are to be
installed. Always install boxes to the wall studs.
1f Re-measure the area to conrm your boxes will t in the space.
1g Remove adjustable shelves (B) from boxes before installation.
NOTE: All boxes are subjected to quality inspections before leaving the
manufacturing facility. Damage may occasionally occur in handling between
the manufacturing facility and the nal destination. Inspect each box carefully. If
damage is discovered, place the box back in the carton and notify your retailer.
STEP 2: Guide Rail Installation (optional)
2a Determine the length of your run of wall box boxes. Then cut the guide rail 1 to
2 inches shorter, so the guide rail will not extend beyond the box boxes. If you
are installing a Corner Wall Box, keep the guide rail 6 in. out from the corner of
the wall to allow for install exibility in case your wall is out of square.
2b Mark the center of the guide rail and use the pre-located line at 77-3/4 in.
4
to mount the Install Guide Rail for wall boxes. Place the small surface of the
Install Guide Rail against the wall as pictured.
2c Pre-drill through the Install Guide Rail into wall studs with the 3/32 in. drill bit
approximately 2 in. deep.
2d Screw the Install Guide Rail to the wall with the 10 x 2 ½ in. Washer-Head
Cabinet Box Installation Screws (not included) while making sure the Install
Guide Rail is level. Shim where necessary to keep the Install Guide Rail level
and plumb.
NOTE: The Install Guide Rail assists in installation. Each cabinet box itself must
still be screwed to the wall. Utility boxes do not use the guide rail. Ensure Install
Guide Rail is not mounted to the wall where a utility box will be located.
