Installation Guide

Step 5: Install Fillers
(where applicable)
Fillers may be necessary when installing cab-
inets. They help allow for odd dimensions be-
tween a run of cabinets and the wall. They also
allow clearance for doors and drawers to oper-
ate properly when turning a corner with a blind
corner cabinet. Fillers often have to be trimmed
to fit.
5.1 Measure the area requiring a filler piece.
Carefully trim the filler piece to the appropriate
width with a saw.
5.2 Clamp the filler in place and once again, drill
a pilot hole on the hinge side of the face frame
and into the filler.
5.3 Fasten the filler to the cabinet with #8 x 2

/2”
frame attachment (trim head) screws. (Figure 9).
