BASE & WALL CABINET SETUP GUIDE BY SUNSTONE® Read all instructions before you install cabinet.
1. WALL CABINETS – PARTS DIAGRAM REQUIRED TOOLS #2 PHILLIPS SCREW DRIVER HOUSEHOLD HAMMER 4 MIL. ALLEN WRENCH SOCKET WRENCH W/ ½” SOCKET ELECTRIC HAMMER DRILL INCLUDED HARDWARE & PARTS Each Wall Cabinet includes multiple Anchor Mounting Bolts. Anchor Mounting Bolts are adaptable with any ½” Socket Wrench. The Load Capacity per bolt is approximate 200 Pounds, even so we still recommend one bolt for every available hole in support rails.
2.WALL CABINETS – MEASUREMENTS Know your Wall Type, these cabinets require support mounts to be Bolted into either Wood Framing, or preferably into Masonry Stone. If installing to Exterior of Home Wall, if finding wall studs are difficult – we recommend using ½” Plywood Board Insulator against Wall where Wall Cabinets will be mounted to. This way the Heavy Weight of the cabinets is evenly spread out across the wall and the Support Rail screw holes do not necessarily have to line up with interior wall studs.
3.WALL CABINETS – LOWER SUPPORT RAILS Once all your Lines are drawn, next begin placing the individual wall cabinet support rails, start with the bottom rail first. If your Wall Cabinet group is in a corner location, like shown in this guide, then start in the Corner reaching out to the Left and Right cabinet runs. Or for any straight Wall Cabinet Group, start either at the Left or Right side, whichever side is against any wall structure first.
4.WALL CABINETS – UPPER SUPPORT RAILS All Upper and Lower Support Rails feature Interlocking Teeth that are designed to make it much easier to build out even horizontal straight lines, one piece at a time. ATTENTION: When mounting Upper Support Rails – be sure to always face Arrows in “UP” positions, or the interlocking teeth will not line up. When placing the top Support Rails, pay special attention that all Arrows are pointing in “UP” position, otherwise the interlocking teeth will not align.
5.WALL CABINETS – POSITIONING CABINETS Test your installation is correct by Placing the First Wall Cabinet into position, follow these instructions when placing the remaining cabinet. Wall Cabinets are Heavy, and requires at least two Adults to lift into position. It may be best to use a Four-Wheeler Dolly to position Cabinets on then roll into closer proximity to final resting point. ATTENTION: DO NOT Place additional cabinets until ALL Upper and Lower Support Rails are installed in any one direction.
6.WALL CABINETS – PANEL & CABINET DETAILS Continue placing Support Rails along one direction off from the starter cabinet position. Install all support rails in any one direction before adding more cabinets. If placing any of the following cabinets SWC18CSDL, or SWC18CSDR, these cabinets are most often used for Sink or Cleanup areas and are shorter in height and will not have any Bottom Support Rails.
7.WALL CABINETS – SECURING CABINETS Place the remaining cabinets along pre-installed Support Rails, remember to confirm all Top of Cabinet Crown Molding Panels are installed before cabinet is lifted into place. Per this Example, we placed the following cabinets starting from the Right, SWC12SLS, SWC30FDD, SWC18CSDR, SWC18CSDL, SWC36FDD, SWC6SPF. Spacers Panels attached to the Front side of wall cabinet only, using the included “Cabinet Spacer Joint Screw & Nut”.
APPLIANCE BASE CABINETS – TRIM-KIT OPTIONS ATTENTION: Be sure to install all Trim-Kits and End Panels before any counters are installed. First is to install any “Trim-Kits” you may have for either large or smaller appliance cabinets in your island configuration. At this point your appliance cabinet should appear as shown in the picture to the right with front, back kick plate panels installed and the side panel if the cabinet is on either end of your island configuration.

APPLIANCE CABINETS - SUPPORT RAIL The Appliance Cabinet Support Rail is located in the back of cabinet, and is used as a Counter Support, in the event your specific appliance is either deeper or shorter. In either case you can adjust the depth of sleeve cut-out using this rail, see the pictures below for instructions.

ALL CABINETS - ISLAND LAYOUT Now that you have individually configured each cabinet, it is time to set them up into the general layout of your island design. Be sure to give some distance between each cabinet so you can move your body between each one. ATTENTION: Place all Kickplates Last after all cabinets are attached and legs are leveled. Install Kick Plates from the Left to the Right always.
ALL CABINETS - ISLAND LAYOUT 9. ALL CABINETS - ISLAND COMPLETION Once all cabinets have been properly configured and attached, next is to make your final preparation. Insure all Electrical Outlets and or Gas Lines have been installed with proper wiring and hoses running through the length of the cabinet island – through each adjacent port hole into one another. Next your local counter installer will come to your home to do a template of Cabinet Island for final counter installation.
