are not provided. The installer must choose the appropriate fastener and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
See "Cabinet Fastener Guidelines" on page 4 for more information.
Note:
At least every 5th cabinet must be
secured to the back wall.
Note:
Make sure all the cabinets are
secured together before attaching
them to the back wall.
