Cabinet Installation
Tall
Cabinets include Utility, Pantry and Oven Cabinets. Installation
procedures are the same for all cabinets.
- The
Oven Cabinet may require cutting the opening of the Face Frame
to fit the oven being installed. This is best done before installing
the cabinet.
- Determine
location of electrical and/or gas feed and make appropriate cutout.
- The
96" High Tall Cabinets require attaching the Toekick Platform
before installing the cabinet, in most cases. Where ceiling height
is limited, the platform can be positioned and cabinet installed
on it.
CAUTION:
Do
not use nails to install cabinets. Use the screws provided.
Using nails will void the product warranty and may allow cabinets
to fall from the wall.
Remove Doors
Remove doors so they aren't in the way during clamping and attachment.
Removal also makes cabinets lighter. Label each door with masking
tape so you know where to reinstall.
Measure
Fastener Holes

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

When positioning on wall, the cabinet back width will not reach
the Cabinet Wall Outline because the back width is offset from (less
than) the cabinet Face Frame width.This offset varies with the cabinet
style, so check for the exact measurement.
Cabinet Spacer Tip
To make measuring from Cabinet Wall Outline easier: Make a spacer
that matches the offset width. When the spacer is added, the cabinet
back width equals the Face Frame width.
Use spacer to transfer these dimensions to Hang Rails on back of
the cabinet. Attach cabinet to the wall through the Top and Middle
Hang Rails.
Screw locations:
- Measure
1" up from bottom of the Top and Middle Hang Rails at the
wall stud locations and mark.
