Below is a few pics of a typical RTA cabinet. The exact contact points and brackets may vary slightly but you will have a good of what to expect when you are ready to assemble your cabinets.<\/p>\n

\"\"Standard
\nBase Cabinet<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

First,
\nyou should find a quiet, open space where you can spread out your
\nparts. I like to work from a bench or raised surface but any open
\nfloor space works well. Place your box face down<\/b> and open
\nby carefully cutting packing tape, remove all parts and locate
\nface frame and side panels. <\/span>You
\nwill want to place the face frame (face down) on any scratch
\nresistant surface. The box you just opened will work nicely. Also,
\nlocate and open the parts bag. This bag has plastic parts and
\nextra screws.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\"\"<\/td>\nFace frame goes face down on soft surface (to
\nprotect from scratches) <\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
If
\nyou needed to reverse the hinge (door swing direction), (single
\ndoor base cabinet) It is much easier to do it now, before
\nattaching side panels. Simply remove the screws holding the hinge
\nto the face frame, flip door, and reattach to other side of face
\nframe. (some cabinet lines use hinge plugs in the door frame)<\/span>Position side panel over edge of face frame, align \u201cL\u201d
\nbrackets to slide under locking plates. Be sure the side panel
\nfits into grove along face frame edge as illustrated.<\/p>\n

Side panels snap into face frame<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

insert locking screw into all
\nmetal \u201cL\u201d brackets after they have been snapped into
\nplace.<\/span><\/p>\n

Do
\nnot be alarmed if your assembly brackets do not look like the ones
\npicture here. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Because
\nwe supply products from several different
\ndistributors\/manufacturers, you may find other assembly points
\n(cam- locks) than what is illustrated here. Most assembly points
\nare pre set at the manufacturing facility and should not need to
\nbe moved or or realigned.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Slide
\nfloor panel into groves in side panels. Make sure floor panel is
\nseated in grove of face frame as well. Finished side of floor goes
\nto inside of cabinet<\/span><\/span>.

drawer box<\/span><\/p>\n

Screw together the back wall and
\nthe two side walls, then slide the bottom panel into the pre cut
\ngroves before attaching the front plate (drawer head). Again
\ndepending on your cabinet line\u2026.you may want to use some wood
\nglue on the dovetail joints (if applicable)<\/span>\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n

note how drawer box attaches to drawer guides<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

attach quiet pads\"\"<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Wall
\ncabinets<\/b> are assembled in a similar fashion but should go much
\nfaster (no drawers, toe kick,etc). I have found it much easier to
\nassemble the sides, top and bottom plate first, then attach the
\nface frame, and lastly, screw on the back plate from the outside.
\nTo determine left or right hinging for single door
\n\u201csquare\u201d wall cabs, you will simply turn the face frame
\nprior to assembly\u2026The bottom plate (floor) is finished on both
\nsides. Arched doors may have the pre drilled hinge plugs rather
\nthan requiring a full hinge\/frame flip.
