- The
Blind Corner Filler/Panel provides clearance between 90 cabinets
for drawer and door pull hardware. Check for adequate clearance.
- If
pull hardware needs more clearance, use a wider Filler.
Loosely clamp Filler and Blind Panel to Face Frame of adjacent base
cabinet.
Align Filler perfectly with the top and front of the Cabinet Face
Frame. Tighten clamps.
Predrill (see "Drill and Fasten Face Frames", page 8)
through the Cabinet Face Frame into the Filler.
Use provided screws to fasten Filler.
Attach Counter Top Brace to Wall Studs
Figure

The Base Blind Corner Cabinet will leave a gap at the corner wall,
cut a 23"-long brace from 1 x 3 lumber.
Place the brace against the corner wall so its top exactly matches
the Base Cabinet Level Line. Use appropriate screws (not provided)
to fasten into wall studs.
Fasten Base Blind Corner to Adjacent Cabinet
Position hidden end of the Base Blind Corner Cabinet at the proper
spacing from the wall. The spacing is determined by the opposite
end of the row of cabinets; this dimension should be noted on the
layout.
Push adjacent cabinet (with Filler/Panel attached) against the Base
Blind Corner Cabinet.
Shim cabinets so they match the Base Cabinet Level Line, the Face
Frames align perfectly, and the Face Frames are plumb.
Attach clamp between cabinet tops.
Drill two 1\8" pilot holes through Base Blind Corner Cabinet
Face Frame Center Stile into top and bottom edge of the Filler (Top
View). Fasten with Face Frame Screws provided.
Drill two more pilot holes from interior into top and bottom of
the Blind Panel. Fasten with 1 1/4" screws (not provided).
