Refer to Figure 4-24:
Warning: Read these instructions carefully.
Improperly installed cabinets can detach from the
wall, fall, and cause serious injury.
1. Determine where the top of the cabinet will be
located and use a carpenter's level to draw a
horizontal line 4-3/4" below this height.
2. Locate the bottom edge of the steel cleat provided
with the cabinet on this line and mount cleat on
wall using an appropriate fastener. The steel cleat
does not have pre-drilled holes. Hole size and
location is determined at the job site. Note: If the
wall is not true, it will be necessary to shim behind
the cleat.
3. To mount the lower cleat, measure the distance
between the hanger channels on the cabinet and
add 2-1/4". Using this figure, measure down from
the top of the existing cleat and mark a point. Use
a carpenter's level to draw a horizontal line at this
point. Repeat Step 2 to install the cleat.
4. Hang cabinet on the cleats.

5. Place an additional screw through the cabinet near
the bottom into a stud to prevent accidental dis-
lodging from the wall cleat. If a stud cannot be
located, use appropriate fasteners for a hollow
wall as noted below. Note: A wood filler (not
supplied) should be placed between back of the
cabinet and wall.
Wall Conditions
6. These cabinets are hung on steel wall cleats. The
cleats are furnished, but not the fasteners for
attaching the cleat to the wall. The fasteners are
standard hardware items which can be obtained
locally to suit one of the following wall conditions:
7. Studded Walls - (Wood or aluminum) Use round
head sheet metal screws of adequate size and
length, make sure the screws are driven into the
studs.
8. Hollow Tile or Masonry Walls - Use machine
screws and expansion anchors of adequate size
and length or toggle bolts.
9. Rough Solid Concrete or Brick Wall - Use rawl
plugs or lead sleeve anchors of adequate size and
length.
5. Plaster on Metal Studs (For new construction)
When possible, place wood ground in back of
plaster where cabinets are to hang. Use wood
screws to anchor steel cleat to wall. Be sure
screw length is of adequate size and length to
anchor securely into the wood ground.
