Casework Installation

WALL SCRIBE STRIP INSTALLATION To scribe a strip to the wall, place one edge on the cabinet and the other edge against the wall. Now take a pair of dividers and adjust them to the widest opening between the edge of the strip and the wall surface. When this measurement has been obtained, start at the top of the strip with one point of the dividers against the wall and the other point held against the surface of the strip, and move the dividers the entire length of the strip (Figure 21).

FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF WOOD FURNITURE

1. Place all removable back panels in place. 2. If it has been necessary to run conduit on plumbing pipe through plumbing space opening, the panels should be cut to fit around these pipes and reinstalled. 3. All shelves in base cabinets should have hold downs removed and shelves installed on their supports. 4. Each item of furniture should be cleaned inside and out and final adjustment made as follows: a. All wood drawer assemblies are pre-fitted to their respective openings at the factory during the installation process they are sometimes removed from their original locations and installed elsewhere. When this happens they may not operate freely. Should this condition exist, remove the drawer and find the drawer originally fitted to the opening and install it there. This should relieve any binding and allow the drawer to work properly. This procedure should be repeated as many times as necessary until all drawers are returned to their original location. b. When doors bind or are uneven, it is usually an indication the units have settled out of level. Cabinets should be re-leveled. Once this is done, door should align and work freely. Re-level by adding or removing shims as needed. c. In some instances, it may be necessary to adjust a hinge to level doors. If this is the case, the hinge should not be moved more than 1/16”. d. When adjusting doors, it may be necessary to readjust the magnetic catches. This can be done by loosening mounting screw and moving catch forward or backward, as needed. Updated 09-01-2021

The wall profile will then be scribed on the strip. Using the sheet metal shears (for steel) or hand saw (for wood) cut the strip along the scribed line. The strip will then fit smoothly againt the wall surface. Attach the strip to the cabinet as previously described for Flush or Overlapping Fillers. INSTALLATION OF KNEE SPACE PANELS (WOOD) Knee space panels are used to close an opening between aprons, between units or units and wall cleats as shown in Figure 22. Secure to the base unit end with a #9 1-1/4” flat head wood screw. Next set knee space panel in position against the cleats and attach with #6 1-1/4” round head wood screw (Figure 23).
