2022 Installation Instructions
for In-the wall Frameless
Pantry Cabinets
Tools Needed:
Stud Finder, Tape Measure, Pencil, Hammer, drill, 1/2” Drill Bit, Phillips Screwdriver,
Phillips Tip, and Drywall Saw
Your cabinet comes to you with the cabinet box already assembled and pre-finished in
white. Depending on the product ordered, your doors may be unfinished, primed, or
already pre-finished in a color. If your doors are unfinished or primed, remove the
hinges and store them in a safe place with the screws. Then paint or stain the doors as
desired. Primed doors can only be painted, not stained. If you want to add hardware to
your doors after painting or staining, it will be easier to drill for the necessary holes with
the door off of the cabinet. Your pantry cabinet box will ship in 2 or 3 sections
depending on height, but the screws to put the units back together will already be in
place inside the cabinet. Just screw the screws right back into the same holes which are
already there. Be sure to orient each cabinet section with the “TOP” label in the same
direction.
Use a stud finder to locate where the studs are in your wall. If possible, you’ll want your
product to go between the studs so that you do not have to cut through a stud.
Measure the back of your unit and cut a template from scrap newspaper to those
measurements, it is easier than trying to hold the cabinet up and keep it level. Place the
template/product on the wall and trace around it with a pencil. Cut the hole in the drywall
using a drill and drywall saw. Use a drill to drill a hole in each corner of the rectangle,
then insert drywall saw into each drilled hole and cut to the next one. (see figure A) Do not
frame the top and bottom of the cabinet with 2x4 wall bracing. It is not needed and will
be in the way if you have a powered cabinet.
Insert the cabinet into the wall and press it into place. Do not FORCE the cabinet into
the wall by pressing on the back panel or you will void your warranty and damage the
cabinet. If your opening is not large enough, see if you can enlarge it slightly so that the
cabinet fits, or STOP and contact us for help. Use the long 3” Pre-Installed screws to
screw through the two mounting holes on each side of the cabinet and into the studs on
either side.
Hinge mounting holes have been pre-drilled on either side of the cabinet so that it
is reversible. Mount the door on whichever side you desire. Remove the cover
cap on each hinge. (See figure F) Re-attach your hinges if you have taken them off
of the door.
WHITE PLASTIC SPACERS MUST REMAIN ON THE HINGE TO AVOID
THE DOOR RUBBING ON THE PLASTIC TRIM SURROUND WHEN OPENING AND
CLOSING.
(See Figure E) Have a partner help you by holding the door into place
while you do the installation, it’s easier! Place the door on the side of the cabinet
and line up the hinges with the hinge holes marked on that side of the cabinet
box. Screw the ¾” screws (Hardware Bag labeled Hinge screws”) into the hinge
hole (see figure C). The hinge should be resting right on the FRONT edge of the
cabinet box itself.
