AMS O&M Casework Installation Guide

Wall Cases

The desired mounting height for wall case units may vary with each installation. To match floor case units, the top of the wall case should be 84” above the floor. The installer is responsible for ensuring that the units are securely fastened to the wall system. Wall Case Installation Each wall case unit is equipped with a separate “wall hanging bracket.” The upper, rear, horizontal frame member at the back of each wall case unit is formed to slide onto this wall hanging bracket. Steps: 1. The wall hanging bracket should be secured to the wall system at the proper height – 0.125” (1/8”) lower than the finished height. 2. After the wall hanging bracket is securely in place, position the wall case slightly above the bracket and flush against the wall. Gently slide the wall case down over the offset of the wall hanging bracket. 3. To ensure stability, screw or bolt the wall case (through the cabinet body) into the wall. The wall hanging bracket is an alignment aid and support which must be supplemented with additional fasteners to prevent the unit from accidentally being raised off of the bracket. CAUTION: Care should be taken when fastening the wall case to the wall (Step C). When tightening the screws it is possible to collapse the back panel due to the cavity between the wall and cabinet back. Install a filler block of wood in this cavity, where the fasteners will go into the wall, to keep the cabinet’s back flat and free of dimples.
