Section 4 – Installing Supporting Furniture and Casework
4.10 Floor and Wall-Mounted
Cabinets
Refer to Figure 4-20 and 4-21.
Base units must be leveled along and across the top
frame as the assembly progresses. Units must be fas-
tened together as shown. Assemblies must also be
anchored to the wall or floor.
It is imperative that installers have a base adjusting
tool (Prod. No. 950M400) when attempting to level
Modular cabinets. The tool can be purchased from
Fisher Hamilton through the Project Manager.
Adjusting Steel Drawers:
1. Prior to any adjustment of doors and drawers, base
cabinets must be set plumb, square and level. Use
a carpenters level and the base adjusting tool No.
950M400. With the cabinet set perfectly level, the
drawers should move easily in and out and exhibit
the self-closing feature.
2. If a drawer does not operate smoothly:
– Remove the drawer and check that the rollers
rotate freely. To free up rollers, apply a drop or
two of light oil or pack the bearings with grease.
– If the drawer binds, remove the drawer and
spread the runs so adequate clearance exists for
the roller.
– If the drawer runs are spread to the maximum,
move the back rollers on the drawer body closer
together.

3. To adjust the drawer head position:
– Raise or lower the drawer run at the front post
of the cabinet by loosening the screw and
moving the run up or down.
– Further adjust the drawer by moving the drawer
head up or down, left or right.
– Loosen the head mounting screws, reposition
the head and re-tighten the screws, or tap the
drawer head with a rubber mallet.
Note: Each drawer is adjusted for a
specific location within the cabinet.
When drawers are moved, they must
be replaced in the same location.
