INSTALLATION & OpERATION
7. The case is designed with minimal gaps between adjacent doors to provide a clean appearance. To maintain even, consistent gaps and
proper door operation, the case must be leveled front-to-back and side-to-side. Ensure that the case is set square to within 1/8" (
). After the case is set, use at least a 48" level to ensure the case is level. Add additional shims as needed under specific bases.
This will reduce door sag/sawtooth (
See "Door Leveling" on page 11
).
8. Standard depth and Deep cases should be set with a slight backward tilt to offset the forward lean of a fully loaded case. We recommend
an additional 3/8" of shims be installed under the front bases after the case is leveled (
Note: Do not add extra shims
under Ultra Narrow cases.
FIGURE 14: Tilt Back
Add 3/8" of shims under front bases
for proper tilt back.
Approximate tilt back of empty case:
1" on standard depth case
7/8" on Deep case
FIGURE 15: Case Squareness
1. Measure squareness from top right corner of the case to
the bottom left corner of the case.
2. Measure again from the top left corner of the case to the
bottom right corner of the case.
3. Measurements should be equal. Difference should be no
more than 1/8".
