of serious injury from cabinets falling, always
use at least 4 installation screws. Make sure the
screws are driven flush to the back panel and go
fully into the stud at least 1".
Prepare Wall & Corner Wall Cabinets
We recommend that you install wall mounted
cabinets first so the base cabinets won’t be in
your way as you work.
Remove all shelves and doors. We recommend
labeling the doors to make the re-installation
easier. Mark (or carefully stack them in position)
as this will make the cabinets lighter and easier
to handle.
Locate and mark wall studs for mounting hard-
ware placement. Cabinets must be mounted to
studs where available. Place the cabinet into
position, use a level and shims (if needed) to
ensure cabinet is level and plumb. IMPORTANT:
Shim cabinets square (flat) to the wall so there
are no gaps between back of cabinet and wall in
the mounting area to prevent joint separation of
side panels to back panel. Drill a

" pilot hole
at the stud locations through the back panel and
into the stud. Make sure to position screws 1” or
more from the top, bottom and sides. Mount the
cabinet to the wall with the #10 x 2 ½" washer
head screws. NOTE the ‘No Mount Screw Zones
’
in Figures 4 & 5.
WARNING To reduce risk of serious injury
from cabinet collapsing/falling:
• Never countersink screw heads into the
back panel.
• Never overtighten screws. Overtightening
can damage cabinet back panel.
