REQUIRED ADJUSTMENTS
Tools required for file adjustment:
1/4" Drive socket wrench
1/4" Drive extension
1/4" Six point socket with 1/4" drive
Adjustable, open end wrench
24" long level
Adjustable glides are provided in the base of each
cabinet. Depending on which model you have, your
cabinet may have 4 glides (one at each corner)
or 2 glides in the front corners of the base. Glide
adjustment is critical for cabinet stability and proper
operation of lock, interlock, drawers or other moving
features that may be present on your cabinet.
1. Be sure cabinet is empty.
2. Place a 24" level across the front of the cabinet to
level side-to-side. Adjust the front glides from the
outside of the cabinet using an adjustable open
end wrench. Turn the glides clockwise to raise the
cabinet and counterclockwise to lower the cabinet.
It may be necessary to cautiously tip the cabinet
back slightly to make the front glide adjustments.
The rear glides can be adjusted from the inside of
the cabinet using a socket wrench with a 1/4" drive.
Depending on your model, an access hole may be
present to access the rear glides.
3. The final glide adjustment is to adjust the glides so
that the front of the cabinet is higher than the rear
while maintaining the side to side levelness. On
carpeted surfaces, the front is 1/4" higher. On hard
surfaces, the front is 1/8" higher.
4. Check cabinet for proper operation. All drawers
on your cabinet should open and close smoothly
and be evenly aligned with the frame. The glide
adjustment and levelness of your cabinet can effect
this operation.
