Required Tools:
- Measuring Tape
- Pencil
- Drill
- Screwdriver (Phillips head recommended)
Installation Steps:
- Measure Door Clearance: Ensure your pantry door is a minimum of 48 inches tall and 13 inches wide to accommodate the cabinet. Verify there is sufficient depth clearance inside the pantry for the cabinet (4-7/8 inches).
- Position the Cabinet: Hold the pre-assembled cabinet against the inside of the pantry door at the desired height. Use a pencil to mark the mounting screw locations through the pre-drilled holes on the cabinet frame.
- Pre-Drill Pilot Holes: Carefully pre-drill pilot holes at the marked locations on the pantry door. Use a drill bit slightly smaller than the mounting screws to prevent splitting the wood.
- Secure the Cabinet: Align the cabinet with the pilot holes and use the provided mounting screws to securely attach the cabinet to the pantry door. Ensure all screws are tightened firmly.
- Install Shelves: Insert the adjustable shelves into the desired positions using the shelf pins. The cabinet features three adjustable middle shelves.
