Attach Glides to Side
Panels
1. Remove the drawer side
section of the glide by pushing
the black lever down and
sliding the steel inner glide
section all the way out of the
glide assembly. Set this inner
section aside as it will be used
later on the lower drawer
sides.
2. Next, identify the holes to be
used for attaching each glide
to the side panel. IMPORTANT
as shown below, the full
extention glides are only
attached to the right side panel
and to the center divider as
shown in Step 6.
Attach glides using 3/8” #6 pan
head screws. In step 9 you will
loosen these screws to slide
the glides ush with the back
panel once it is attached.

STEP 1B
IMPORTANT - There is a right and a left side panel. Lay them out as shown below. Pay close
attention to the glides so that they are properly positioned when attaching to the side panels. Review
Step 1A for specic instructions on the full extention glides.
Attach L Brackets with 5/8” #6 screws. Use the small round hole, not the slot.
PLEASE NOTE - Some pieces are interchangeable with other units we manufacture, and thus some
pilot holes may not be used. It is important to note the proper holes required for assembly in each step.

This Set of Holes Not Used

Step 1
1. The Bastion fastening system consists of a steel post (threaded on one end with a
hole through the shaft on the other end); a Barrel Nut (cylindrical barrel-shaped with
threaded open end & holes through the sides); and a Set Screw (Phillips slot on one end,
pointed on the other)
2. To attach Posts: A) Dip threads of Post in vegetable oil. B) Align threaded end of Post
with hole in wood, tap on slotted end with hard hammer until threads enter, then tighten
down using a flat head screw driver or the provided allen wrench (See the Illus. Bas. 3 for
alternate seating methods). DO NOT TRY TO HAMMER THE POST ALL THE WAY IN AS
IT WILL STRIP THE POST HOLE. C) When solid shaft of Post hits wood, back out
approximately ½ turn until the hole in the posts is properly aligned as per step by step
directions. For example: the holes in the posts on the inside of the drawer front will be
parallel with the long length of the drawer front when properly seated.
3. A) Place a Barrel Nut into the nut access hole, so that the threads in the nut face out.
The small notches on either side of the nut opening, indicate the location of the holes
through the sides of the nut. B) Insert the posts through the end of the braces (or drawer
sides); through the holes in the sides of the nut. When properly aligned, you will see the

Post needs to be screwed deeper.
RIGHT!
hole in the post inside the barrel nut. Post hole should be slightly off-center toward the wood.
4. Insert the Set Screw into the threaded end of the nut and tighten down. The tip of the Set Screw will seek the center of
the hole in the Post as it is tightened down, forcing the Nut toward the main shaft of the Post. This is what tightens the
wooden parts together. Set screws should thread easily – DON’T CROSS THREAD! If Set Screw doesn’t thread easily,
check position of the hole in Post.
5. If the wooden parts are not tight against each other, the Post needs to be screwed a half turn at a time until wood joints
are tight.
ALTERNATIVE
METHODS FOR
SEATING POSTS

STEP 2
A. Attach the Top Drawer Back to the Drawer Sides with four 1 1/4” #8 screws. There are left and right
sides. Make sure the slots that run the length of the Sides are aligned with the slot in the Drawer Back
to accept the Drawer Bottom.
B. Slide in Drawer Bottom, best side up, to inside of drawer.
C. Take the 2 bastion posts, align the threaded end of the posts with the post holes located near the
ends of the inside of the Drawer Front. Tighten posts down until the solid shaft of the posts hits the
wood. Back post out one full turn until the hole/screwdriver slot in end of post is parallel and in direct
line with the long edges of the Drawer Front.
D. Insert the barrel nuts into the nut access holes on the inside of the Drawer Sides with the threaded
ends of the nuts facing out. Take the Drawer Front and carefully insert the posts into the ends of
the Drawer Sides, through the sides of the nuts until seated. Push nut snug up against the wood in
the nut access hole toward the inside of Drawer Front. Hole should be slightly off-center toward the
Drawer Front. Insert the set screw and tighten down. The ends of the sides should be tight against the
inside Drawer Front.
E. Attach the drawer handles with 1” Truss head machine screws.
F. Attach the drawer glides (left and right) to the Drawer Sides using two 5/8” #6 screws per side
(packaged seperately). Wheels go toward Drawer Back and are up. The end with no wheels should
touch the Drawer Front.
