| Where
To Begin Installation
Start
installation in a corner, if possible. Your installation likely
includes one of these corner cabinets:
If
there is no corner cabinet, start installation at an obstructed
end that begins at a wall or appliance.

Corner Pie Cut Cabinet, Wall 45° Corner Cabinet

Measure from Wall Outline to the wall studs that will support cabinet.
Transfer Measurement to Cabinet

When positioning on wall, the cabinet back width will not reach
the Wall Outline because the back width is offset from (less than)
the cabinet Face Frame.
This offset varies with the cabinet style, so check for the exact
measurement.
Cabinet Spacer Tip
To make measuring from Wall Outline easier: Make a Spacer that equals
the offset. When the Spacer is added, the cabinet back width equals
the Face Frame width.
Use Spacer to transfer the wall stud position (from
Figure 5)
to the Hang Rail on back of the cabinet.
Predrill
Fastener Holes
Predrill cabinets while they're resting on the floor.
NOTE: To avoid "breakout" or splintering of cabinet
back, don't press hard on drill. Use a sharp bit and let the bit
do the work gradually.
At wall stud locations predrill 7/32" holes through Hang Rails
on cabinet exterior.
