Preparation
UNEVEN FLOORS AND WALLS
Because floors and walls have uneven spots which
will affect the installation, it will be necessary to locate
these uneven areas. Wall and floor unevenness can
cause cabinets to be misaligned resulting in "racking"
or misalignment of the doors and drawer fronts. Uneven
spots can be found with a straight edge or a 4 ft. level.
Simply run the straight edge along the floor and wall to
identify any uneven areas. Where these uneven spots
interfere, high spots can be removed by scraping or
sanding the excess plaster. Low spots can be shimmed.
LOCATE STUDS
Locate the wall studs with a stud finder or tap on the wall
to locate a "solid sound". This generally will tell you where
the wall studs are located. You can verify this location by
driving a small finishing nail into the wall. Make sure this
is an area that will be covered by the base cabinets. Mark
a chalk line at the center of the wall studs at the top and
bottom of the cabinet position. Normally the wall studs
are located 16 in. apart, center to center.
CABINET INSTALLATION
Please read prior to installation.
CABINET HEIGHT
To establish the height of your base cabinets, measure up
and mark the wall at 33
floor. Use this mark as a starting point and draw the lines
around the bathroom. Mark the outlines of all cabinets on
the wall to check actual cabinet dimensions against your
layout (Figure 1).
HARDWARE
Decorative and installation hardware such as nails, screws,
glue, wire, tape, etc., are not included.
INSTALLATION TIP
Whenever drilling into a cabinet frame, crown, back panel,
wall cleat, etc., it is recommended to pre-drill a pilot hole
first to help prevent splitting. Also, using a little wax on the
screws will help seat them into the wood.
