II. WALL CABINETS
A. Corner Wall Cabinets
It is best to start installing wall cabinets first by using a T-brace and a helper. This will eliminate reaching over base
cabinets for wall installation.
1. Remove the doors, drawers and shelves from the
cabinets to make them lighter and easier to install.
IT IS BEST TO START IN THE CORNER.
2. Cabinets are mounted to the wall by first drilling
pilot holes, then screwing #8 2½” screws through the
hanging rail (located along the top and bottom back
of the cabinet) and into the stud (located in the wall).
DO NOT USE DRY WALL SCREWS FOR HANGING CABINETS.
3. If shims are needed between the wall and the
cabinet in order to install the cabinet plumb, the
shim must be placed between the screw and the
stud in the wall.
4. After corner cabinets are installed, proceed with adjacent wall
cabinets.
