Installation Guide

Slide the next cabinet into position so that the side is ﬂush

and plumb against the side of the previously installed corner

cabinet. Using C-clamps, clamp the two cabinets together and

shim under the cabinets where necessary. Check to ensure the

cabinet is level. See Illustration E

Screw Framed Cabinets together through the face using 2-1/2

wood screws.

Screw Full Access Cabinets together through the cabinet box

using 1-1/8 wood screws or connector bolts.

Pre-drill holes to prevent splitting or cracking. Use two to four wood screws to join the two cabinets together, depending on the

cabinet height.

When the two cabinets are joined together, secure the cabinet at pre-located wall studs to the wall, following the base cabinet

chalk line, using 2-1/2 round washer head screws (Use 3-1/2 round washer head screws for Wall Hung Vanities and cabinets with

Prep for Wall Hung Modiﬁcation) through the cabinet back and hanger rails, if available, into pre-located wall studs behind the

cabinet. Complete the installation of the base cabinets using the same procedure. If there is a window above your base cabinets,

be sure to appropriately center the cabinet under the window, if speciﬁed, using ﬁllers or extended stiles if applicable, between

cabinets or cabinet and wall. See Step 7 for more details regarding ﬁllers.

6. Installing the wall cabinets

Ʌ Helpful Hint: Make a single cabinet support stand to hold the cabinet in position during the installation process. See Illustration F

Installing wall cabinetry is similar to base cabinet installation, starting

with the corner cabinet. Begin by positioning the corner cabinet so that

the top is ﬂush with the level line that was drawn previously (refer to

step 4). It is helpful to draw the cabinets on the wall as a guide, including

any mouldings that will extend further than the cabinets. This also

serves as a double check, ensuring that all components will ﬁt. Center

any cabinetry above the range or cooktop and allow speciﬁed clearances

between any window openings surrounded by cabinetry using ﬁllers or

extended stiles if applicable, between cabinets or cabinet and wall. See

Step 7 for more details regarding ﬁllers.

After checking the cabinet to ensure that it is level and plumb, secure it

through the upper and lower cabinet hanger strips, if applicable, into the pre-located wall studs using 2 -1/2 round washer head

screws (Use 3-1/2” round washer head screws for Wall Hung Vanities and cabinets with Prep for Wall Hung Modiﬁcation). It is

recommended that a minimum of four (two upper & two lower) screws secure each wall cabinet to the wall. Following the same

procedure as with the base cabinets, place the next wall cabinet into position, clamp them together with C-clamps, join the two

cabinets together and ﬁnally, secure it to the wall, fastening into pre-located wall studs. See Illustration E

Complete the installation of the remainder of wall cabinets using the same procedure.
