Installation
PLEASE READ ALL INSTALLATION DIRECTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING YOUR KITCHEN CABINETS TO ENSURE A
SMOOTH INSTALLATION.
When you receive your cabinets from your Authorized Wellborn Dealer, please check each item against the shipping
order and your layout. This is to ensure you have received everything you need to complete your layout before you
begin installation. You will want to unbox and inspect each cabinet, accessory, moulding and kit to insure that no
damage has occurred during delivery.
AVOID CUTTING BOXES OPEN WITH A KNIFE TO KEEP CABINETS FROM BEING DAMAGED.
Once all cabinets have been checked, place each cabinet back in the appropriate box or wrapping to protect them
from any damage prior to installation. It is recommended you store cabinetry inside a house that can be temperature
controlled until installation. A basement is not recommended due to possible flooding and uncontrollable humidity.
I. WALL CABINETS
A. Corner Wall Cabinets
It is best to start installing wall cabinets first using a T-brace and a helper. This will eliminate reaching over base
cabinets for wall installation.
1. Remove the doors, drawers and shelves from the
cabinets to make them lighter and easier to install.
IT IS BEST TO START IN THE CORNER.
2. Cabinets are mounted to the wall by first drilling
pilot holes, then screwing #8 3" screws through
the hanging rail (located along the top and bottom
back of the cabinet) and into the stud (located in
the wall).
DO NOT USE DRY WALL SCREWS FOR HANGING CABINETS.
3. If shims are needed between the wall and the
cabinet in order to install the cabinet plumb, the
shim must be placed between the screw and the
stud in the wall.
4. After corner cabinets are installed proceed with adjacent wall cabinets.
