Instructions / Assembly
STEP #5
Attach 1 x 2 furring strips directly below the 
“wall cabinet bottom level line” with wood 
screws (ILLUSTRATION C). These 
temporary support strips will help to support 
the weight of the cabinets during installation, 
and insure that the cabinets are level. You are 
now ready to begin the cabinetry installation 
and it is recommended that you remove all 
doors, drawers, shelves and roll-out trays 
from each cabinet prior to installing to 
prevent damage. Consult your cabinetry 
manufacturer’s website for door/drawer removal and adjustments. For ease of installation, 
begin by installing wall cabinets first.
STEP #6
Refer to your design layout to determine 
what wall corner cabinet to start with (if 
there is a corner cabinet), and place it on the 
floor below where it will be installed. 
Measure from the corner to the first wall 
stud and transfer this measurement to the 
inside of the wall cabinet. Repeat for next 
stud location. Now measure down 3/4" from 
inside top of cabinet, and 3/4" from inside 
bottom of cabinet and intersect these 
measurements with the stud location 
measurements. Drill through the wall 
cabinet back using a 3/32” drill bit. Repeat 
process for adjacent corner back panel. 
Raise cabinet into place resting on 
temporary rails and fasten the cabinet to the 
wall with #10 x 2-1/2” pan head screws but 
do not fully tighten. Check for level and shim 
where necessary (ILLUSTRATION D). You 
may also construct a support wood “T” 
brace to hold the front edge of cabinet in 
place until you have attached to wall 
(ILLUSTRATION D1).
If your design includes a blind wall cabinet (ILLUSTRATION E) instead of a wall corner 
cabinet, consult your design to determine the distance the cabinet is to be installed from the 
wall corner. Always measure distance using the front frame width of the cabinet and not the 
end panel width of the cabinet. Place cabinet on floor below where it will be installed and 
repeat all measuring and pre-drilling as detailed in Step #5. Raise cabinet into place resting 
on temporary rails and fasten to wall with #10 x 2-1/2” pan head screws but do not fully 
tighten. Check for level and shim where necessary.
