Familiarize yourself with these steps before you get started.
The basic installation order is as follows:
1. Mount the cabinet on the wall.
2. Mount the HandyTrac Primary Touch system
keypad on the wall beside the cabinet.
3. Insert key panels in the cabinet.
Mount the Cabinet
1. HandyTrac recommends mounting the cabinet 44" off
the ground.
2. We strongly recommend attaching the cabinet to a
stud. Align at least one (1) stud with one of the six (6)
drilled mounting holes at the top of the cabinet.
3. Use a pencil to mark your holes. A minimum of nine
(9) screws are required for mounting the cabinet to
ensure proper plumb, squareness, and stiffness. Nine
screws ensures the cabinet will remain in shape for
many years of daily usage.
4. When all holes are marked, use screws that penetrate
at least two (2) inches into the stud or wall that are
capable of holding at least 50 lbs. Follow the
manufacturer's directions for all anchors.
5. Lift the cabinet into place and tighten all fasteners
snug, but not fully. Place your level on top of the
cabinet and check repeatedly as you tighten all of the
fasteners.
Cabinet Alignment
Check the gap between door and door frame on all sides. If the gap is not uniform all
the way around, the cabinet will have to be shimmed to compensate for the uneven wall
surface.
• Use metal or plastic for shimming. Wood and rubber do not hold their shape well.
• If the door gap at top is greater than bottom, shim the top of the cabinet at right hand
corner.
• If the door gap on the bottom is greater than the gap on the top, shim the bottom of
the cabinet at the right hand corner.
