Installation Instructions
On-the wall Models (wall or surface mounted)
1. Most on the wall models use either a hardboard backer board which is pressed in place when screwed onto the wall (cabinets for instance),
or a white posterboard backer which can be used to hide the wall behind a magazine or spice rack if desired. It is not necessary to nail on the
backer boards for cabinets - when they are screwed to the wall, the backer board cannot move. To attach white posterboard backers, use glue
or a stapler, just be sure not to cover up any keyhole slots. Cabinets can be screwed directly into the drywall using built in cleats or screw holes
inside the cabinet.
2. If there are keyhole slots on the back of the product (such as magazine racks): Measure the distance between the two keyhole slots. On
occasion, the slots may shift slightly during the manufacturing process or they may be different due to the size of the product.
3. Glue or staple white backer onto the back of the rack making sure to leave the keyhole slots open.
4. The easiest way to a nice tight fit is to mark the screws before starting. Place one screw into the keyhole slot and slide it over as far as it will
go. While pulling the screw tight against the inside of the keyhole, place a mark on the screw using something like liquid paper or paint of some
kind. This mark represents the point at which you will stop screwing the screws into the wall for a nice tight fit.
5. Follow the same procedure to mark all the remaining screws.
6. Drive the screws into your wall until your mark.
7. Insert your rack onto the screws and gently slide it down. It will lock into place. If your screws are too tight, the rack won’t slide, so loosen
them ¼ turn at a time until they work properly. If your screws are too loose, the rack won’t sit flush against the wall, so tighten them ¼ turn at
a time until the shelf slides on tightly.

WC-2 and WC-3 Series On the wall Cabinets:
For these cabinet models, sometimes the cabinet door will appear out of square from the cabinet box. This is a normal condition due to
manufacturing processes and is easily correctable. To correct the alignment, simply screw the bottom or top of the cabinet to the wall with the
door already assembled onto the unit. Then merely pull or push the cabinet side over until it comes into alilgnment and then screw in the other
end. This will easily correct any out of square situations.
Instructions for assembling WCTM Series Cabinets (mirror in the center, On the wall)
Install any hinges prior to the back panels. Your cabinet comes with two sets of back panels. The inner set will be the set that is seen when
you open the cabinet doors. Nail these in place and set the mirror in between them. Use duct tape or similar to tape the mirror into place in the
unit. Then place the outer back panel over the entire back of the cabinet and nail it into place. CAUTION: You will only be able to nail it on the
side cabinets, not where the mirror is. Be careful not to nail it so that your nails come out on the outside of the cabinet. To mount the cabinet,
simply screw through the cleats inside right through both back panels and into the wall.
