Preparation 
UNEVEN FLOORS AND WALLS 
Because floors and walls have uneven spots which 
will affect the installation, it will be necessary to locate 
these uneven areas. Wall and floor unevenness can 
cause cabinets to be misaligned resulting in “racking” 
or misalignment of the doors and drawer fronts. Uneven 
spots can be found with a straight edge or a 4 ft. level. 
Simply run the straight edge along the floor and wall to 
identify any uneven areas. Where these uneven spots 
interfere, high spots can be removed by scraping or 
sanding the excess plaster. Low spots can be shimmed. 
LOCATE STUDS 
Locate the wall studs with a stud finder or tap on the wall 
to locate a “solid sound”. This generally will tell you where 
the wall studs are located. You can verify this location by 
driving a small finishing nail into the wall. Make sure this 
is an area that will be covered by the base cabinets. Mark 
a chalk line at the center of the wall studs at the top and 
bottom of the cabinet position. Normally the wall studs 
are located 16 in. apart, center to center. 
CABINET HEIGHT 
To establish the height of your base cabinets, measure up 
and mark the wall at 33
1
⁄2 in. from the highest spot on the 
floor. Use this mark as a starting point and draw the lines 
around the bathroom. Mark the outlines of all cabinets on 
the wall to check actual cabinet dimensions against your 
layout (Figure 1).
HARDWARE 
Decorative and installation hardware such as nails, screws, 
glue, wire, tape, etc., are not included.
INSTALLATION TIP 
Whenever drilling into a cabinet frame, crown, back panel, 
wall cleat, etc., it is recommended to pre-drill a pilot hole 
first to help prevent splitting. Also, using a little wax on the 
screws will help seat them into the wood.
