Elite Storage Collection - Planning & Installation Guide
Before you get started…
Read all installation instructions and assemble all cabinets as shown in the
Cabinet Assembly portion of these instructions.
If you are planning a multi-cabinet installation, leveling & pre-planning is an
important step for a good quality installation and makes adjustments afterwards
only minor. When installing storage cabinetry there can be unusual obstacles to
overcome or work-around.
The
recommended
method of installing wall cabinets is to fasten them to
wooden wall studs. If you cannot locate wooden wall studs, consult your local
hardware store for advice on the best way to securely attach them to your wall.
We will cover the basic principals of installation in this guide; however, you may
have to seek advice or be creative if you encounter obstacles in your utility,
kitchen, laundry, basement, garage or workshop environments.
Helpful Hints
After assembling the cabinets and before installation, DO NOT insert the plastic
screw cover caps. Wait until the installation is complete. At that time, only a few
cover caps will be needed for the exposed cabinet sides.
Wall and Base Cabinets should be mounted prior to attaching the doors.
It is very important to install cabinets level and plumb. Shims may be necessary.
What are shims?
A shim is a thin slip or wedge of metal or wood, etc., for driving into crevices or
beneath cabinets to level them.
