WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.400 --> 00:00:02.480 This video will demonstrate how 2 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:05.610 to install a combination of small and large 3 00:00:05.610 --> 00:00:07.110 wall-mounted cabinets. 4 00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:10.680 Only install these cabinets into wooden wall 5 00:00:10.680 --> 00:00:13.380 studs covered by drywall or sheetrock. 6 00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:16.030 Securely mounting the hanging rails 7 00:00:16.030 --> 00:00:18.380 is critical for a proper installation. 8 00:00:19.110 --> 00:00:21.140 Before you begin, make sure you 9 00:00:21.140 --> 00:00:23.340 have the following tools and hardware. 10 00:00:23.810 --> 00:00:27.080 Stud finder, power screwdriver or drill, 11 00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:31.900 3 16th inch drill bit, pencil, tape measure, 12 00:00:32.210 --> 00:00:33.780 level, hacksaw. 13 00:00:34.600 --> 00:00:36.600 Each cabinet comes with one 14 00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:38.810 38-inch metal hanging rail, 15 00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:41.990 one connecting brace, three wood screws, 16 00:00:42.320 --> 00:00:44.800 an Allen key, and an Allen key bit. 17 00:00:45.620 --> 00:00:48.130 The metal hanging rails are designed to prevent 18 00:00:48.130 --> 00:00:50.720 cabinets from sliding past the end of the rail. 19 00:00:51.620 --> 00:00:54.630 During assembly, you attach two or three 20 00:00:54.630 --> 00:00:56.180 metal rail hooks to the back 21 00:00:56.180 --> 00:00:57.560 of your cabinet. 22 00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.780 These fasten onto the metal rail 23 00:00:59.780 --> 00:01:01.280 when mounted. 24 00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:04.820 When using multiple rails, a connecting brace 25 00:01:04.820 --> 00:01:08.310 is fastened across two adjoining rails to provide 26 00:01:08.310 --> 00:01:10.500 additional support between studs. 27 00:01:11.250 --> 00:01:13.690 It is designed for use with wooden studs 28 00:01:13.950 --> 00:01:16.950 positioned 16 inches apart on center. 29 00:01:18.280 --> 00:01:21.130 Start by hanging the rails for the large cabinets. 30 00:01:22.230 --> 00:01:24.690 In our installation, we want the bottom 31 00:01:24.690 --> 00:01:27.700 of the tall storage cabinets to be 12 inches 32 00:01:27.700 --> 00:01:29.200 from the floor. 33 00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:32.230 At multiple locations along the wall, measure 34 00:01:32.230 --> 00:01:35.210 79 1⁄2 inches from the floor 35 00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:36.860 and make a mark. 36 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:40.490 Using a level, draw a line to connect the marks. 37 00:01:42.330 --> 00:01:44.480 Studs are typically 16 inches 38 00:01:44.480 --> 00:01:46.200 apart center to center. 39 00:01:47.050 --> 00:01:49.980 To find the studs, move the stud finder 40 00:01:49.980 --> 00:01:52.200 along the wall until you hear a tone. 41 00:01:53.050 --> 00:01:56.060 Continue along the wall until the tone stops. 42 00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.690 Mark the center between the beginning 43 00:01:58.740 --> 00:02:01.160 and end of the tone with a vertical mark. 44 00:02:03.500 --> 00:02:07.320 Pre-drill 3-inch deep holes where the horizontal 45 00:02:07.320 --> 00:02:08.820 and vertical lines meet. 46 00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:14.030 Position the metal track over the pre-drilled holes 47 00:02:14.500 --> 00:02:17.760 and insert wood screws into the first and second 48 00:02:17.760 --> 00:02:19.920 holes with the Allen key provided. 49 00:02:20.300 --> 00:02:23.150 For faster installation, use a drill 50 00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:25.110 and the supplied hexagonal bit. 51 00:02:26.150 --> 00:02:28.490 Position the connecting brace so that it 52 00:02:28.490 --> 00:02:31.280 overlaps the last hole on the first metal rail. 53 00:02:32.500 --> 00:02:35.010 Insert the remaining screw through both 54 00:02:35.010 --> 00:02:37.280 the connecting brace and the metal rail. 55 00:02:38.170 --> 00:02:41.100 Slide the second metal rail behind the connecting 56 00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:44.040 brace and position it next to the first rail. 57 00:02:44.730 --> 00:02:47.350 Secure the connecting brace to the second rail. 58 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:50.490 Repeat these steps to hang additional rails 59 00:02:50.490 --> 00:02:51.990 and braces. 60 00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:54.560 Installing the cabinets with outdoors 61 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.990 attached makes it easier to lift them 62 00:02:56.990 --> 00:02:58.490 into position. 63 00:02:58.620 --> 00:03:00.510 With two people, carefully 64 00:03:00.510 --> 00:03:03.590 lift the tall cabinet so that the hooks are just 65 00:03:03.590 --> 00:03:06.680 above the rail, then carefully lower onto 66 00:03:06.680 --> 00:03:07.950 the rail. 67 00:03:07.950 --> 00:03:10.750 The smaller wall cabinets can be lifted into place 68 00:03:10.750 --> 00:03:12.250 by one person. 69 00:03:13.450 --> 00:03:16.090 We want the bottom edge of the lower cabinets 70 00:03:16.260 --> 00:03:17.980 to line up with the bottom edge 71 00:03:17.980 --> 00:03:20.510 of the tall cabinets at 12 inches 72 00:03:20.510 --> 00:03:21.970 from the floor. 73 00:03:21.970 --> 00:03:26.390 In two places, measure 31.5 inches from the floor 74 00:03:26.480 --> 00:03:27.980 and mark. 75 00:03:28.030 --> 00:03:31.330 With a level, draw a line to connect the marks. 76 00:03:32.270 --> 00:03:34.490 Pre-drill three inch deep holes 77 00:03:34.530 --> 00:03:36.850 where the horizontal and vertical lines meet. 78 00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:40.940 Since the hanging rail is longer than the space 79 00:03:40.940 --> 00:03:42.490 needed for the lower cabinet, 80 00:03:42.930 --> 00:03:45.230 we have used a hacksaw to cut the rail 81 00:03:45.230 --> 00:03:47.860 one fourth of an inch smaller than the cabinet 82 00:03:47.860 --> 00:03:48.890 width. 83 00:03:48.890 --> 00:03:52.420 In this case, 29 3 fourths inches 84 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:54.440 for a 30 inch wide cabinet. 85 00:03:55.220 --> 00:03:58.390 Position the metal track over the pre-drilled holes 86 00:03:58.540 --> 00:04:01.300 and insert wood screws with the Allen key 87 00:04:01.430 --> 00:04:03.550 or hexagonal bit provided. 88 00:04:04.180 --> 00:04:06.800 Leave an eighth of an inch gap between the hanging 89 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:08.300 rail and tall cabinet. 90 00:04:09.260 --> 00:04:10.810 Hang the remaining cabinets, 91 00:04:10.950 --> 00:04:12.880 then insert drawers, shelves, 92 00:04:12.930 --> 00:04:14.430 and attached doors. 93 00:04:14.580 --> 00:04:17.010 Door hinges can be adjusted six ways. 94 00:04:17.940 --> 00:04:20.920 For horizontal adjustment, turn the adjustment 95 00:04:20.920 --> 00:04:23.530 screw counterclockwise to move the door 96 00:04:23.530 --> 00:04:24.760 to the left. 97 00:04:24.760 --> 00:04:27.140 Turn it clockwise to move the door to the right. 98 00:04:28.190 --> 00:04:30.380 To move the door forwards or back, 99 00:04:30.650 --> 00:04:33.620 loosen the fixing screw and shift the location 100 00:04:33.620 --> 00:04:35.000 of the hinge. 101 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:37.760 For vertical adjustment, loosen the hinge plate 102 00:04:37.760 --> 00:04:40.220 screws and adjust door up and down. 103 00:04:41.240 --> 00:04:43.100 With your installation complete, 104 00:04:43.510 --> 00:04:46.250 fill your cabinets with tools, yard supplies, 105 00:04:46.300 --> 00:04:48.180 sports equipment, and other items 106 00:04:48.180 --> 00:04:49.040 in your garage.
