During the “dry fit” step, it is a good time to check the blind corner
cabinet spacing from the corner wall.
o
Dry fit the cabinets tightly together, starting at the end of the row of
cabinets and butt against the Blind Corner Cabinet. Mark the position
where the end of the Blind Corner Cabinet is spaced away from the
corner wall.
o
The Blind Corner Filler (provided with some products) provides
clearance between 90° cabinets for drawer and door pull hardware.
This filler may come with a panel attached, depending on product.
o
Before moving the Base Blind Corner Cabinet attach the Filler to
the adjacent cabinet frame with the method described in the Frame-
to-Frame Attachment section.
o
Attach a 23" countertop brace on the wall as described previously.

o
Position the hidden end of the Base Blind Corner cabinet at the
proper spacing from the wall. The spacing is determined by the
opposite end of the row of cabinets; this dimension should be noted
on the your project layout.
o
Push the adjacent cabinet (with Filler attached) against the Base
Blind Corner cabinet.
o
Attach clamps between the center stile of the Base Blind Corner
cabinet and the face frame of the adjacent cabinet.
o
Follow the Frame-to-Frame Attachment requirement to align and join
the center stile of the Base Blind Corner cabinet and the Filler
attached to the adjacent cabinet. Be sure to drill as close to center of
the Filler as possible.
o
If your Filler has a panel attached, drill 2 more pilot holes through
the frame into the panel and fasten with 1-1/4" screws (purchase
separately).
