CABINET INSTALLATION/JOINING CABINETS
1. Place cabinet(s) in approximate final position. Use the cabinet that would be on the highest
ground to set the height first and allow at least 4 ½” of toe kick height. This will insure that
the toe kick will fit.
Tip
: If kitchen space is fairly level, place grill cabinet first since it is the most difficult to move
around.
Partially install #10 screws in Easy-Alignment holes (2
nd
from bottom on front and rear
flange) on
right side
of cabinet. These will slip into the “dog bone” alignment holes on the
left side of the adjacent cabinet.
Using the adjustable legs,
level cabinet in all directions
, remembering to keep the 4 ½” leg
height for the toe kick.
Begin installing cabinets adjacent to the first level cabinet: If working to the left, tip and lift
adjacent cabinet so the Easy-Alignment screws slip into the “dog bone” alignment slots on
the left side of the first cabinet flange. If working to the right, tip and lift so the dog bone
slot slips over the partially installed screw. Make all cabinets close to level and use legs to
align the cabinets. Tighten front alignment screw from
inside
access hole on left side when
cabinets are aligned with each other. Then install top bracket connector with supplied
screws.

Tip
: If cabinets are installed in an island format where the back is accessible, you may tighten rear
alignment screw at back flange. If installed against a wall or the back is otherwise inaccessible, rear
tightening is not necessary.
5. Continue installation in the same fashion for all cabinets. Make sure all legs are touching the
ground and supporting the cabinet’s weight.
Install the doors by first installing the hinge plates to the cabinet walls using #8 screws
supplied. Install the hinges to the backs of the doors using the small countersunk screws
supplied. Then install the doors by slipping the large screw from the hinge plate into the
opening in the hinge and tightening it near the etched vertical line on the hinge. This will
space the door close to its final position. TIP: Use a straight edge across both hinges to align
them before screwing them in.
Cabinet doors must only be adjusted when cabinets are level in final position!
There are
two adjustment screws on the hinge receiver and the hinge plate mounting screws allow for
up and down movement.
Trying to adjust doors too soon is a waste of time.

a. The front screw is used to center the door in the opening. Turning the front screws in
or out will center the door over the cabinet opening.
The back screw is used to align the front of the door with the cabinet frame and
secure the door to the cabinet. Slightly loosen the screw and slide door in or out.
Retighten the screw to secure the door.
Loosen the hinge plate mounting screws and slide the hinge plates up or down for
further adjustment. Retighten the screws.
