Unfortunately the example on this page is the way many installers are
installing uprights. The y may believe that they are using the correct method by
putting the chain through a hole into the adjacent cabinet and screwing the
chain to the back wall but it will not work if not done properly.
Putting the chain into the adjacent cabinet is the preferred method, provided
there is no slack ness in the chain..
Some inst allations only have a single chain affix ed. Bo th chai ns m ust be fix ed
as part of the installers compliance. Failure to fix both chains will make the
installation non compliant.
