SQUARING YOUR WALL CABINET
- The squaring of your cabinet is not a structural component. It is for ease of installation
- After your cabinet box is screwed together, it’s time to square the back
- The back panel needs to be pulled tight to the TOP and ONE SIDE of your cabinet, ensuring square
- With a chisel or flathead screwdriver, shim the gap at the bottom back of the cabinet, and push the back panel tight to the TOP
- Similarly, shim the gap on one side of the cabinet, and push back the panel tight to the OTHER SIDE
- With the top and one side made tight, this ensures that the back is square
- To secure the squared back, screw the TOP and ONE SIDE into place (the back should be shimmed tight against the two sides that are being fastened)
- Note: A natural 2mm gap will be visible along the bottom of the back. This is an intentional gap made for varying material thicknesses. There is no need to fasten this end.
- Pre-drill 3/4” from the edges, spacing out the pilot holes as you go
- Use #8 x1¾ (4×45/26mm) Screw with Countersink Head
ALTERNATIVE METHOD
- Toenail the back into the cabinet top and side
- Use a staple gun with 1-inch staples
