FEATHER LODGE BASE CABINET ASSEMBLY GUIDE
WELCOME TO FEATHER LODGE CABINETS
Thank you for purchasing Feather Lodge cabinets. You are on your way to a beautiful, new kitchen, vanity, or closet. There are a few simple tools necessary, and some set up of your preparation area before you get started. Our cabinets go together easily, but you may want to ask a friend for assistance when putting together larger cabinets. One of you can align the components while the other screws them together. Once you get going, assembly gets easier as you improve your learning curve! Expect it to take between 10-15 minutes per cabinet. By assembling your own cabinets, you are saving the thousands that companies charge for “semi-custom” cabinetry. Equipment: Phillips Head screw driver, flat head screw driver, cordless electric drill with the flat and phillips attachment bits (not necessary, but is a time saver). and rubber mallet. Prep Area: A dirt free carpet or the foam sheets and cardboard from your cabinet will provide you with a scratch free cushioned work area. To save your back, working at table height is always a good idea. Unpack your cabinet components and spread out the panels on your smooth prep surface. Keep tools and the package of hardware screws, brackets, etc close by, but not under any of the panels. Feather Lodge ships your cabinets with the hinges alread secured to the doorframe faces, making installation quicker. We predrill all holes for easy acceptance of our hardware. All hardware, mounting brackets, shelves, drawer pulls and screws(plus extra) are provided. Hardware is packaged separate from the cabinet panels so there is no damage. Dovetailed drawers can be tapped together with a rubber mallet. STEP 1 PREPARE CABINETS FOR ASSEMBLY

Identify the cabinet floor panel. It is easy to identify because it is only finished on one side. Make sure that the finished side is facing the inside of the cabinet. Slide the cabinet floor panel into the dado joint (the shallow groove running along both sides of the cabinet, close to the bottom).

STEP 8 SOFT CLOSE DRAWER GLIDES In the back of the cabinet, at the level of the drawer, you will find predrilled holes. Identify the plastic L shaped soft close mechanism from the bag of enclosed parts. Place L shaped soft close mechanism into predrilled holes. Optional but not necessary-screw into place with provided screws.
STEP 9 DRAWER GLIDE INSTALLATION Take metal drawer glide and slide it into the plastic L shaped bracket you previously attached to the back of the cabinet. Line the front of the glide so it’s flush with the front of the frame, and lined up with the predrilled holes. Screw in place with the small 7/16” flat head screws. Repeat on other side of cabinet.
