DRAWER BOX & DRAWER FRONT INSTALL

The squaring of the cabinet box is essential, before mounting the drawer front

  1. PREP
    • Start the Orange Release Handles in their proper position
    • Line up hash marks for center
    • Push grey tab tight to the box
  2. LOCK
    • Slide your box onto the glides, until it locks into place
    • To release the box, squeeze the Orange Release Handles simultaneously
  3. ADJUST
    • Use the Orange Release Handles to fine-tune the drawer box positioning
    • More adjustments can be made after the drawer front is mounted
    • Roll to adjust side-to-side
    • Slide to adjust up and down
    • Roll to adjust depth
    • Rotate to adjust front tilt
  4. CHECK
    • Check that the gap surrounding the drawer box is even and level in relation to the opening
    • Thick Mounting Foam Tape can cause the drawer front to sit proud. This tape will be removed before the final drawer front install.
  5. SPACE
    • Use business or playing cards to create an even 1/8” gap across the top and bottom of the drawer front
  6. STICK
    • Place 2 pieces of double-sided Mounting Foam Tape to each end of the drawer box front
  7. PEEL

    • For mounting drawer fronts, use #8 x 1 1/8 Modified Washer Head Screws
  9. MARK
    • With the drawer front taped in place, use a pencil to mark guide lines around the corners
  10. PREDRILL
    • Set or mark your drill bit for the appropriate depth, and predrill into the drawer front
  11. ALIGN
    • Remove the foam tape
    • Partially insert the screws to stick out of the box & align them with the pilot holes
    • Use the pencil lines for reference
  12. FASTEN
