Wood Stud Wall Mounting Guidelines:

1. Locate the wall studs for attaching the

mounting backboard to the wall. The
backboard should attach to at least
two studs.

2. Mark the wall stud location on the

mounting backboard and drill four
pilot holes for the 3/8” lag bolts.

3. Apply construction adhesive to the

back of the mounting backboard.

4. Attach the mounting backboard to the

wall with four 3/8” x 3” lag bolts.

5. Locate the mounting position of the

cabinet on the mounting backboard.

6. Drill pilot holes for the 3/8” x 3” lag

bolts.

7. Mount the cabinet to the mounting

backboard.

8. Proceed to the following section.
