Tips for Wall Cabinets
Follow
these attachment tips to save time and ensure a better-looking installation
of adjacent cabinets. These tips are placed at the beginning of
this section because they apply to Face Frame attachment of all
types of wall cabinets.
Position, Shim, Level and Clamp
Install first cabinet according to the basic instructions (see Figures
5,
6,
and 7).
Figure

Lift adjacent cabinet onto supports. Between the two cabinets, place
clamps just below top hinge and above bottom hinge. Clamp cabinets
loosely.
Loosely drive top screws through adjacent cabinet and into wall
studs.
Adjust and shim cabinet so it is level and both Face Frames align
at bottom and front edges.
- If
you need to tap cabinets for alignment, use a block or rubber
mallet to avoid marring finish.
Loosely
drive bottom screws.
Tighten clamps.
Drill
and Fasten Face Frames
On a 1/8" bit, set tape or drill depth gauge at the length
of the Face Frame Screws provided.
Before drilling Face Frame, recheck for level and alignment between
Face Frames.
For the least visible, most consistent placement of Face Frame Screws:
- Where
possible, predrill Face Frames from the hinge plate side.
- Use
drill as a self-positioning jig by holding it flat against the
top of cabinet opening. Use 1/8" bit to drill a pilot hole
equal to length of the Face Frame Screws provided, through Face
Frame and into the next Face Frame.
- Hold
drill flat against bottom of cabinet opening. Repeat to drill
matching pilot hole.
- To
make tighter union and avoid splintering wood, use 7/32"
bit to enlarge hole in the first Face Frame only.
- To
make screw driving easier, rub paraffin or bee's wax on Face Frame
Screws.
- Recheck
level and alignment between cabinets, then fully tighten the Face
Frame Screws.
