If this is your first time assembling a SLIDE-LOK cabinet, you may find it helpful to first assemble the
cabinet without gluing to give yourself the opportunity to become familiar with the assembly process of SLIDE-
LOK storage cabinets. All components will slide together without force or effort if the dovetails are lined up
properly. Do not force. If force or exertion is necessary, pieces are not aligned correctly. Take apart and
start over. Be sure to glue all joints at time of assembly. Allow glue to completely dry before installing.

NOTE:
It is important that the cabinet is set flush
to the wall and fastened to wall studs for
stability and strength.

the door hinge hole lines up with the pre-drilled hole in the
face frame. Screw in the hinge so the doors are level across
the top and flush in the front. Take clear bumpers and attach
as in fig. 8B, to top and bottom of doors.

Take a 1 ” screw and insert it behind the face frame, into the side panel of
one cabinet through the other cabinet’s side panel, screwing it tightly together
see figures 10B & 10C. Do this at the top, middle and bottom of the cabinet.
