SHELVING/TOWER ASSEMBLY
INSTALLATION
1. Lay down both tower side panels (partitions) face up on the
cardboard or cloth with the notched ends at the bot-tom facing
in. (See Fig. 1.) Use a screw-driver to thread six (6) screw-in
studs into one side panel (the one that will be on the side wall)
as shown. Two (2) screw-in studs will go into top holes, two (2)
screw-in studs will go into holes located 43 in. down from top,
and two (2) screw-in studs will be above the baseboard notch
(5th from the bottom of the panel). (Do not install studs into the
other panel at this time!)
NOTE:
For towers with drawers or baskets, it is optional to fasten the
slide runners on each of the side panels either before full assembly or after
standing up the tower. (See “Drawer” in “DRAWER AND DOOR ASSEMBLY”
section for detailed instructions on runner location and installation.)
• Align dowels in one end of cleat with holes in top of left panel
as shown. Push cleat dowels into holes.
(See FIG. 2)
• Turn panel over and thread one (1) HiLow screw from hole in
outside of left panel into center hole of cleat.
(See FIG. 3)

PARTS
PREPARATION
Screw-In Studs or Double-Sided Studs?
Use screw-in studs only in partitions positioned on the end or in
corners. For stand-alone towers, screw-in-studs will typically be
used. Thread screw-in studs into partition holes until the stop ring is
snug with the partition face.
Use double-sided studs for contiguous closet sections in which
you need to have two fixed shelves fastened to either side of the
same system hole. For example, you must use double-sided studs
for neighboring fixed shelves of adjacent double hang sections.
For Tower System or Hanging System, a mix of screw-in studs and
double-sided studs may be used.
