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.

the cabinet place cabinet on top of already installed cabinet, carefully overhang cabinet to revealing dowel holes. Push dowels into all of the
pre-drilled holes (fig. 7B and 7C). Next align dowels with cabinets below (fig 7D). Set cabinet down in place and attach to wall (fig, 7).
NOTE:
It is important that the
cabinet is set flush to the
wall and fastened to wall
studs for stability and
strength.
