STEP 1 A. Tap/insert ONE 1 1/2” pin into each end of all the doors. DON’T OVERDRIVE PINS! Pins should stick up about 1/2” when seated. B. Attach the magnet plate (may be stuck to magnet!) with the 1/2” #4 screw to the top of the doors. Bumps go toward the wood. C. Attach door handles with 7/8” truss head machine screws. STEP 2 Take the 2 front braces and tap/insert one 3/4” steel pin into each end of both braces until seated. About 3/8” will stick out when seated. Ok if loose.
STEP 4 A. Attach the Drawer Back to the Drawer Sides with four 1 1/4” #8 screws. There are left and right sides. Make sure the slots that run the length of the Sides are aligned with the slot in the Drawer Back to accept the Drawer Bottom. B. Slide in Drawer Bottom, best side up, to inside of drawer. C. Take the 2 bastion posts, align the threaded end of the posts with the post holes located near the ends of the inside of the Drawer Front.
TIPS ON HOW THE BASTION FASTENING SYSTEM WORKS 1. The Bastion fastening system consists of a steel post (threaded on one end with a hole through the shaft on the other end); a Barrel Nut (cylindrical barrel-shaped with threaded open end & holes through the sides); and a Set Screw (Phillips slot on one end, pointed on the other) 2. To attach Posts: A) Dip threads of Post in vegetable oil.
STEP 5 A. Attach a Glide Support Stick to the top of each Side Panel using 1 1/4” #8 screws. The countersunk holes (reamed out) in the stick are positioned as in illustration so that the glide holes are toward the lower edge. Sticks should be flush with top of panel. B. Attach the cabinet glide of the Drawer Glides to the Glide Support Stick using 5/8” #7 flat head screws. Left glide to left Side Panel, right glide to right Side Panel.
STEP 6 A. Lay Back Panel flat on a smooth surface with holes up. B. Attach Side Panels with 1 3/4” machine screws (bolts) and hex nuts. After inserting bolts(s) thru the holes in the Side Panels, thru the holes in the long edges of the Back Panel, place a hex nut on the tip of your finger, align nut with bolt and tighten. C. Look ahead to step 7 which shows side panels attached to back panel. STEP 7 A. Invert cabinet assembly from step 6. B.
STEP 8 A. Install Doors by fitting the pins in the top of the door into the holes in the Top Front Brace. B.

Tap two 1” pins into the back panel, two into the holes on the inside of the Bottom Front Brace and two into each Side Panel as in illustration 8B. These will hold the Bottom Shelf.
STEP 9 A. Stick magnet to magnet plate on a door. B. With all other doors open, close the door. The magnet should be positioned over the wooden block on the bottom of the top front brace. Hold the magnet in place with your thumb, and open the door. The magnet will be in the correct position on the block. C. Secure magnet with the two round head screws in the magnet packet. Center screws in the slot in the magnet. This will allow adjustment later, if needed. D. Repeat these steps for all the doors.
STEP 11 A. Upright unit. B. Determine if you want the Spice Rack on the left or right Side Panel. The Handle/Towel Bar will go on the other. Attach the Spice Rack to the Side Panel with two 1” x #8 screws from inside the panel. Place a washer over the screw so that so that the head won’t pull through the side panel. C. Attach Towel Bar to the other Side Panel with 1” #8 screws from inside the Side Panel. Place a washer over each screw. STEP 12 A.
