INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR FRAMED

AND FULL ACCESS CABINETRY

WARNING: The use of nails (versus screws) voids factory warranty, written or implied.

1. Before starting the installation

These instructions are intended as supplemental reference for those who have the appropriate skills and experience to safely

and successfully install cabinetry, including familiarity with basic carpentry principles and safe and proper tool use. Wall framing

and construction can vary greatly, and these instructions may not describe all construction methods. Also, there may be electric,

plumbing, gas lines or other utilities behind the wall, for which contact must be avoided during installation. If for any reason after

reading these instructions you do not feel conﬁdent in the ability to safely and successfully install this cabinetry, please contact

a licensed contractor for installation. MasterBrand Cabinets is not responsible for improper installation or property damage.

WARNING: Electric, plumbing, gas lines and other utilities, are frequently installed or embedded behind walls where cabinets are being installed.

Before drilling any holes or driving any screws, be sure you will not be making contact with any of these utilities. Failure to follow these instructions

may result in property damage and serious or fatal injury. If you do not feel conﬁdent in your ability to ensure that you will not

make contact with utilities behind a wall during installation, please contact a licensed contractor to install the cabinets.

Ʌ Helpful Hint: Read through this manual carefully before starting your project to become familiar with all the steps.

2. Check the cabinetry

Check to make sure the cabinets and accessories received agree with order information and are not damaged. Refrain

from moving or removing existing plumbing ﬁxtures and kitchen cabinets until verifying that the correct products are on hand

to replace them. Review the layout with the project designer to verify all part locations and to identify all ﬁnished end locations.

See Illustration A.

Remove the packaging, as well as the doors, drawers, adjustable shelving and roll out trays or shelves from the new cabinets.

This will reduce weight and prevent injury or damage from falling shelves, swinging doors and sliding drawers during the initial

installation phase.

Full Access Cabinets are equipped with clip on/o hinges for easy door removal. Find the clip at the end of the hinge, facing the

inside of the cabinet. Simply squeeze the clip and the hinge will release without changing the door adjustment.
