CornerWallCabinet
Theblindcornerwallshouldbepulledout3/4”
to11/4”fromthecorner.Afillerstripshouldbe
usedwiththecabinetnexttoit(seediagram).
Attachthefillerstripinthesamemanneras
joiningthecabinetstiles(seediagram).Hang
thecabinetinthesamewayastheotherwall
cabinets.
CenterDiagonalWallCabinet
ThisCabinetrequires24”ofspacefromeach
wall(seediagram).Fillerstripsarenot
necessarywiththiscabinet.
BlindCornerBaseCabinet
Theblindcornerbaseshouldbepulled6
inchesawayfromthecorner.Afillerstripshould
beusedwiththecabinetnexttoit.Thisallows
forproperdooranddraweroperation.Attach
thecabinettothewallinthesamemanneras
otherbasecabinets(seebase2instructions).
LazySusanBaseCabinet
Allow36”alongeachwallforinstallation.Place
cabinet6”awayfromeachwall.Setlazysusan
inplacenexttoeachadjacentcabinet.
Clampall3cabinetstogetherattheface
frame.Attachadjacentcabinettothewalls
usingshimstokeepall3levelandplumb.
Countersinktwo2½”screwsintothestiles(see
diagram3).Tosupportthecountertop,use1x
2woodstrips(seeBase4instructions).
BEGINNING
Afteryouhaveplannedyourcabinetsystem,locatethewallstudsinthearea
youaregoingtoinstallyourcabinetsandmarkthemusingachalkline.Next,
markalevellineforthetopofthewallcabinetsandthebasecabinets.
Begininstallationwiththecornercabinetsfirst(seeabovediagramsfor
specialcornercabinetmeasurements).Installthewallcabinetsbeforethe
basecabinetsbecausethiswillallowfreeuseofyourladderandT-brace.
PlacethenextcabinetintopositionusingtheT-
brace.UseC-clampstoclampthestilesofthe2
cabinetstogetherandcountersinktwo2½”wood
screwsintothestiles.Makesurethecabinetis
levelandplumb.Using3”screws,screwthe
cabinettothewallthroughthemountingrailsand
intothestuds.Repeatthestepswiththeremaining
wallcabinets.Makesuretheyarelevel,plumb
andthatallscrewshavebeentightened.

MakeaT-bracetallenoughtosupportawall
cabinetattheheightthatyoumarkedonthewall.
Whileyouandahelpersteadythecabinetonthe
topoftheT-brace,levelitandcheckthatthetop
staysevenwithyourguideline.
Drillpilotholesthroughthemountingrailsat
thestudlocationsyouhavemarked.Thendrive
woodscrewsleavingthemlooseenoughtoallow
foradjustment.Next,usealeveltoseeifthe
cabinetfrontisplumb(verticallylevel).Ifitisnot,
youcanuseshimstobringthecabinetinto
plumb.Aftermakingsurethecabinetisleveland
plumb,fastenthetopandbottomscrews
securely.
