U-Line Drawer Panel Installation

Attaching the Full Overlay Panel
1. If user-supplied cabinet handles will be used, attach their
hardware to the overlay panel at this time.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
User-supplied cabinet handles MUST be counter bored to
make sure mounting hardware is below surface of overlay
panel. Failure to do so can cause damage to overlay panel
and/or drawer. Overlay panel will not sit flush to drawer if
mounting hardware is not counter bored.
2. Place and tape the existing drawer panel on the back of the
overlay panel (see above).
3. Drill the five holes (5/32" drill 3/8" deep) through both panels
according.
CAUTION
It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to
the correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood
when hardware is installed.
4. Remove tape adjoining the panels and enlarge the five holes in
the overlay panel using a 0.201" (#7) drill.
5. Attach the drawer panel to the overlay panel using #10 x 5/8"
wood screws and nylon spacers. The nylon spacers fit between
the overlay panel and the door panel as shown in Figure 11. The
spacers allow the original drawer panel to slide back into the 1/
4"-thick drawer front reveal (channel).
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
Drawer panel and overlay panel must be aligned properly
or the drawer will not operate correctly.
Assembling the Drawer Front
1. Install the assembled panel by sliding the original door panel
back into the drawer front.
2. Replace the handle assembly and secure with the two screws
removed in Step 2 under Removing Existing Drawer Fronts.
3. Starting at the corners and working toward the center, push the
drawer gasket back into place. Go on to 5 Adjust Drawers.
