Peninsula and Island Cabinet Installation

When installing Peninsula or Island Double Faced Cabinets, it is easiest to install the wall (upper) cabinets first. Peninsula wall cabinets require a Double Faced Blind Corner or Double Faced 45° Corner as a starter at the end adjacent to the wall cabinets. Island Double Faced Cabinets will follow the same installation steps as the Peninsula Double Faced Cabinets.

Double Faced Blind Corner Wall Cabinets can be inverted for left or right blind corner installation. Cathedral and arch door cabinets cannot be inverted and must be ordered for blind left or right installation.

The Blind Double Faced Cabinets install using the same procedures as the Wall Blind Corner Cabinets. Because the wall cabinets are usually installed before the peninsula cabinets, the order of installation is different. See "Wall Blind Corner Cabinets" on pages 17 through 20 for installation procedures but follow the order listed:

  • Attach Filler and Blind Panel to Face Frame of adjacent wall cabinet.
  • Determine pull-out position of cabinet from the wall. Blind Double Faced Corner Cabinets can be pulled out a maximum of 3" from the wall.
  • Cut End-of-Run Filler to match space needed. Install Backer Board if Filler is wider than 3".
  • Put cabinet in place and attach to ceiling or soffit following the "Double Faced Cabinet Ceiling Attachment."

IMPORTANT:
Install cabinets using proper screws (furnished with cabinet). Holes drilled in Face Frames must be no more than 2" from vertical sides of cabinet.

Warning: Make sure that ceiling Face Frame Attachment Screws enter 1 1/2" of solid framing material.

  • Determine cabinet position on soffit or ceiling.
  • If needed, tack shims in place so soffit or ceiling provides level attachment area.
  • Locate soffit framing or ceiling joist.
  • Transfer position of soffit framing or ceiling joist to the top of cabinet Face Frames.
  • Drill 7/32" clearance holes through top of cabinet Face Frames at these locations. Use four (4) screws on cabinets up to 24" wide. Use six (6) screws on cabinets 27" or wider.
  • Use Face Frame Attachment Screws to join adjacent cabinets. See "Drill and Fasten Face Frames" on Page 14.
