Screwing the box together

SQUARING YOUR WALL CABINET

  1. The squaring of your cabinet is not a structural component. It is for ease of installation
  2. After your cabinet box is screwed together, it’s time to square the back
  3. The back panel needs to be pulled tight to the TOP and ONE SIDE of your cabinet, ensuring square
  4. 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
  5. Similarly, shim the gap on one side of the cabinet, and push back the panel tight to the OTHER SIDE
  6. With the top and one side made tight, this ensures that the back is square
  7. 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)
  8. 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.
  9. Pre-drill 3/4” from the edges, spacing out the pilot holes as you go
  10. Use #8 x1¾ (4×45/26mm) Screw with Countersink Head

ALTERNATIVE METHOD

  1. Toenail the back into the cabinet top and side
  2. Use a staple gun with 1-inch staples
