Base Corner Cabinets

Attach Counter Top Brace to Wall
Figure 6

Cut two 34"-long braces from 1 x 3 lumber.
Place each brace against the corner wall so its top exactly matches the Base Cabinet Level Line. Use appropriate screws (not included) to fasten into wall studs.

Attach Base Corner Cabinet

Place Base Corner Cabinet into corner. Measure so each edge of Face Frame is 36" away from the opposite corner. When installed, the back of the Base Corner Cabinet will not touch the wall.

Place Face Frame of one adjacent cabinet against the Face Frame of the Base Corner Cabinet.

Clamp the two cabinets together, but do not drill. Adjust so their Face Frames align at the top and at front edges.

Before attaching second cabinet, shim back of the Base Corner Cabinet if necessary.

Clamp second cabinet Face Frame to the Face Frame of the Base Corner Cabinet.

With cabinets in final position, shim so they match the Base Cabinet Level Line, the Face Frames are flush and plumb.

Predrill through Face Frame into adjacent cabinets.

Fasten with provided screws.

Base Cabinet Completion

Attach Remaining Cabinets

Attach remaining cabinets, following the steps in Attachment Tips for Base Cabinets.

  • If the installation involves a corner, layout the corner cabinet first. If there is no corner, start at an obstructed end that begins at a wall or appliance.

    Mark the width of the first cabinet on the floor and wall in this location. Use a level to draw a line vertically between the floor and the top of the Base Cabinet Level
    Line.


Base Corner Cabinet Door
Figure 7

This cabinet can be reversed from left-mounted hinge to right-mounted hinge. To prevent marring of frames, Shipping Spacers are placed under both hinges. If door is to remain hinged left, remove and discard Shipping Spacers by loosening screws, pull-out spacer and re-tighten screws.

To reverse hinging, remove screws that hold hinges to the left Face Frame. Remove and discard the Shipping Spacers placed behind the hinges.

Flip door end-for-end and attach hinges to the predrilled holes on the right Face Frame.

A package of hole plugs is provided to cover unused mounting holes in the Face Frame. Press plugs into unused holes.
