Countertop Extension Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY!
1. Using enclosed Overhang Measurement Tool, measure counter
overhang in center of location where you plan to mount extension. Place
overhang tool under overhang with dimension lines facing upward. Slide
tool forward under overhang until it touches cabinet side (Figure A). Note
which line the edge of overhang comes closest to. You may have to round
off, depending on your unit. Record corresponding letter for this dimension
line (for example: If overhang measures 7/8", record letter "C").
If you choose to use a ruler, measure and record the counter overhang.

Materials included:
• Installation instructions
• (1) Overhang Measurement Tool and (2) Templates
• 10 Screws (5/8")
• 12" hinge–attached to extension
• Support bracket
2. have assistant hold extension flush to counter edge
in fully extended position, level with inside of overhang
(Figure B). Due to variations in countertop thickness,
countertop extension may not be flush with countertop.
There should be no gap between extension and counter.
Mark pilot hole locations through piano hinge on the
underside (Figure C) of overhang and drill holes using
3/32" drill bit.
Place masking tape on drill bit to mark 3/8" depth as a
guide so you do not drill through the countertop overhang.
Install extension with screws.

- Page 2 Section A - Countertops with Overhang (continued) 3. Locate Template #1 and find proper hole set by matching letter from Overhang Measurement Tool (see Step 1). For example: If overhang is 7/8"; corresponding letter is “C”—use holes aligned with “C” on Template #1. With a nail or pen, carefully punch through both corresponding holes (see Figure D).
- Page 3 Section A - Countertops with Overhang (continued) 7. have assistant hold extension outward so it is level with countertop (Figure I). This is the “in use” position. 8. With hinge extended, move support bracket upward so top (shorter side) makes contact with extension board. Make two marks for pilot holes through the support’s screw holes. 9. Carefully drill pilot holes with 3/32" drill bit. Recheck masking tape on drill bit (3/8" depth) so you do not drill through the extension. 10. Complete installation by attaching top of support bracket to extension with screws. Check for proper operation (Figure J). Section B - Countertops with No Overhang 1.
