Installation Guide



Tall 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
Figure 1

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

Transfer Measurement to Cabinet
Figure 2

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.
