Wall Mounting
CRITICAL: This step is mandatory to prevent tipping and serious injury.
- Locate studs: Use a stud finder to locate solid wooden studs or masonry in your wall. Mark their center with a pencil.
- Position bracket: Hold the wall mounting bracket (F) against the wall, level with the top inside of the assembled cabinet. Ensure bracket holes align with marked studs.
- Secure bracket: Drill pilot holes into studs. Screw the bracket firmly to the wall using the provided screws.
- Hang cabinet: With help, lift the cabinet and hook it onto the wall bracket. You should hear a click or feel it lock into place.
- Secure cabinet: Use the additional safety screws provided to secure the cabinet back to the bracket from the inside.
- Test stability: Gently pull on the cabinet to ensure it is firmly attached to the wall and does not move.
WARNING! If you cannot mount into solid studs/masonry, you must use appropriate wall anchors rated for the cabinet's weight. Consult a professional if unsure.
