1. Screw the metal bolt, up to the
shoulder, into the 5mm hole in
one part.
2. Push the cam, facing
outwards, into the corresponding
hole on the other part.
3. Push the two parts together,
so that the metal bolts disappear
into the middle of the cams.
4. Insert a 5mm Pozi screwdriver
– tilt back at a slight angle – and
rotate CW to lock the bolt in
place.
HOW DO CAM & BOLTS WORK?
1. Start by identifying the parts. Your design may be di󰀨erent to this example, but don’t worry; it will
become clearer as we work through.

2. We’ll start with the left hand (LH) and right hand (RH) Sides. Place the Nickel Cams in all the
available holes, facing outwards. Using the screwdriver, or a power tool on a low setting, screw the
Cam Bolts into the available 5mm holes on the LH & RH Sides. Unlike the 6mm holes, these 5mm
holes do not go all the way through.

hole on the top side

same holes on the underside

Divider
3. If your design features any Dividers, look for 5mm ‘through’ holes. Each hole requires a Cam Bolt
on each side. Screw in all Cam Bolts required on one side of the Divider, then turn the Divider over,
and screw in Cam Bolts, in the same holes, on the opposite side.

4. The LH & RH Uprights each have a row of 5mm holes. Screw a Cam Bolt into each of these.
There is also one central 6mm hole in each, but leave those for now.

5. On taller units, one or more of the Shelves may have cam holes. Place Nickel Cams in these.
6. Place White Cams in the Box Base, Box Top and Valance cam holes. Depending on your design,
the Valance strip could be taller than this example. Screw Cam Bolts into the 5mm holes along the
Box Base front edge.

7. Align the Valance White Cams with the Box
Base Cam Bolts, then lock each cam securely in
place. See Page 2 for help with cams.
8. Now we’ll assemble the main box. The best
order to follow depends on how many Dividers and
Shelves are within the box, so read this section
before you start. Lay the parts out on the oor as
shown in the following illustrations. Ensure that the
front edges of all parts are towards the oor, and
that all joins appear to align properly.

If you have no Dividers, skip ahead to Step 9.
If you have more than one Divider, start by placing all the necessary shelves between the Dividers,
as we won’t be able to access this space later once the Dividers are xed in place. Wherever (if)
the Divider features a central Cam Bolt, place one of the Shelves with cams. After locating the other
normal Shelves, lock these Shelf cams into place to hold the structure together. Now continue with
the next paragraph.
If you have just one Divider, the Box Top
and Box Base can now be attached to the
Divider/s. After locating them, use a 2mm Drill
to create pilot holes (through the pre existing
4mm holes), before screwing the parts together
with 45mm CSK Screws. The pilot hole is
necessary to ensure that the wood won’t split.

9. If you have no Dividers, place the Shelves between the LH and RH Sides. Wherever (if) the Side
features a central Cam Bolt, place one of the Shelves with cams. Lock them in place. With all the
Shelves in place, locate the Box Top and Box Base with the Side Cam Bolts, and lock these securely
in place.
If you have Dividers, now place the (remaining) Shelves between the Sides and any Dividers.
Wherever (if) the Side features a central Cam Bolt, place one of the Shelves with cams. Lock them in
place. With all the Shelves in place, locate the Box Top and Box Base with the Side Cam Bolts, and
lock these securely in place.
The top edge of all parts should
be ush with each other. If not,
something’s wrong!

11. Carefully stand the Box up. If it is too large
to do safely, you’ll need to enlist some help.
Fit the uprights to the Sides by aligning the
cams and locking them into place.

Box Top. Once in place, screw along the top edge
with 25mm WSH Screws, through the 3mm holes. Now x down one side, accurately realigning the
Back egde to the Side as you go. E󰀨ectively you are using the Back to square up the Box. Once this
is done you can screw in all the remaining 25mm WSH Screws across the Back, securing it in place.
10. Place the Back
onto the assembled Box,
with the engraved label towards
the top, and facing up/outwards, as
shown. Slide the Back over until its top
edge aligns perfectly with the top edge of the

11. Fit Dowels into the Front Skirt holes, and push home the Front Skirt into the holes on the Uprights
and Valance. This can be glued into place, or left as is. Depending on your design, you may have
LH and/or RH Skirts. If you wish, you can scribe these Skirts to match your room skirting. A scribing
guide is in the works; for now please get in touch for help. When placing the LH & RH Skirts, ensure
that the mitre matches neatly with the Front Skirt. They can be either glued in place, or screwed from
the inside using 30mm CSK Screws.
12. Again, depending on your design, you may have one of a variety of di󰀨erent Top styles.
The most common is simply a solid Top board. Locate the Top to the Box Top using Dowels. It can be
glued into place, screwed into place from beneath, or left as is.
Alternatively, you may simply have a Top ‘lip’. This can be located using Dowels, and glued or
screwed from above. This may be supplied as one single component or several parts which join
together with a Connector (using the hex key provided).
For 30mm Tops, use 45mm CSK Screws. For 18mm Tops, use 30mm CSK Screws. For exceptionally
wide units, the Top and Skirting may be supplied in several lengths.
