Toe Kick

SHELVING/TOWER ASSEMBLY

PREPARATION

Plan ahead when assembling adjoining shelf towers. If you put 
together all the partitions and fixed shelves of two side-by- side 
towers before you’ve installed the second toe kick, you’ve got no 
access to fasten the inside panel. To install adjacent toe kicks, follow 
these steps:

 

INSTALLATION

1.  Assemble the first tower, using HiLow screws to attach the toe 

kick. (If you have multiple tower toe kicks to install next to one 
another, you must countersink all the adjacent HiLow screws for 
the pieces to fit snugly.)

2.  Fasten the second tower’s bottom fixed shelf using only the back 

cam locks over the double-sided studs (#56534), and tilt the shelf 
up vertically (like a hinged lid). 

(See FIG. 1A below)

3.  Now fasten the second toe kick to the outside partition using one 

(1) HiLow screw. 

(FIG. 1C)

 Use two plastic angle brackets to fasten 

the toe kick to the “center” (shared) partition. 

(See FIG. 1B)

4.  Lastly, lower the fastened bottom cammed fixed shelf to sit on the 

toe kick. Be sure to add fast caps to exposed HiLow screw heads. 
 

NOTE: 

With the toe kick supporting the weight of the front of the 

bottom fixed shelf, it is not necessary to install the front screw-in 
or double-sided studs for the cam locks.
