A.
Secure to wall with triangular corner brackets.
Once your system is leveled and plumbed, but before
the bottom shelf is installed, you should install corner
brackets. The triangle shaped corners will secure the
system to the wall. Place a corner bracket inside the unit
near the bottom of the panel against the wall (make sure
the bracket will be above any base moulding).
B.
Secure the corner brackets to the inside back corner
towards the bottom of each floor based closet section. The
brackets must be lower than the toe kick so as not to inter-
fere with installation of the bottom shelf. The flip cover of
each triangular bracket should be facing you when open.
Secure a bracket to each panel using a #8 3/4” screw.

Double check for level and plumb.
Secure corner brackets to panel below toe kick.

Note:
You should only use 1 shim per panel ¼” off the floor
unless you have carpet. You could get away with 2.
E.
If you level the system and it still needs more shims, then
remove all shims and start leveling sections from the lowest
point. You may have to cut panels down with a jigsaw using
a wood blade until you have reached the height needed.
This may require you to cut more than one panel.
Note:
If and when cutting panels, you will have to cut toe kicks to
the panel height. To bypass the last step, if floors are not even and
you find yourself with a large gap, you may first want to install
some kind of a base molding to cover gaps.
TOOLS NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION
B.
Start to build the unit only installing all top shelves, only
if all floor-mounted.
C.
Place level on each section starting at the highest point
and see where you’re at (Diagram 8).

D.
For any section that is not level, add a shim until you have
reached your level point (Diagram 9).
