ASSEMBLY OF IMPERIAL SINGLE ENTRY UNIT
Two people are recommended for assembly. Approximate assembly time: 30-40 minutes.
The reference numbers used throughout this sheet refer to the illustration on the back cover.
This is to help you to identify the various parts as they are mentioned.
1. Determine whether you will be assembling a single unit, or multiple
units joined together. For a single unit, use two “L” uprights (Ref.
No. 1). For multiple units, use one “L” upright and one “T” upright
(Ref. No. 2).
NOTE: Supports are not fully seated unless you can see
an open space through the hole in the shelf support as
shown above.
Tool Required: Rubber Mallet
2. Examine the slots on the two uprights you have
selected. When an upright is standing up on end,
the narrow part of the keyhole slots should be
toward the oor, while the wide part should be
toward the top.
3. After determining which end of the upright is the bottom, attach a
plastic foot (Ref. No. 9 or 10) to the bottom of each upright by
pressing it into place. Note the differences at right between a foot
for an “L” upright and a foot for a “T” upright.
4. Lean one “L” upright against
a wall, and temporarily place
one shelf support (Ref. No. 5)
at approximately eye
level to properly space the
uprights. Make sure both
rivets on the shelf support are
fully inserted into the keyhole
slots, and are rmly seated
at the bottom of the keyhole
as shown in step 5.
5. To rmly seat shelf supports and backstops, make sure both
rivets are fully inserted in the keyhole slots, and rmly seated in
the bottom of the slot. A rubber mallet can be helpful in
accomplishing this.
6. Hold a second “L” upright
(or a “T” upright if you
are assembling multiple
units) approximately 36”
away. Pull the rst
upright away from the
wall using the shelf support
you attached in step 4, and
insert the other end of the
shelf support into the
second upright.
NOTE: Take care not to
let the uprights fall,
as they are not
stable until step 7
is completed.
7. Place a shelf support at the rear of the unit in the bottom keyhole
slots, in the same way you placed the shelf support in steps 4
through 6. Then, place a second shelf support at bottom front of
unit.

8. Place a slotted shelf (Ref. No. 4)
over the supports. IMPORTANT:
Be sure that the square hole
in the end of the shelf ange is
to the rear of the unit. If the
shelf is reversed, the dividers
will not t in their slots.
9. Insert a back stop (Ref. No. 6)
into the third keyhole slot
above the shelf. Make sure
that all rivets are rmly seated
in the keyhole slots, as
described in step 5.
13. If you are assembling only a single unit, assembly is now complete
(shown below left). If you are assembling multiple units joined
together, your starter unit should have been assembled with a “T”
upright (shown below right) as described in step one. Continue
with step 14.
14. Repeat steps 7 through
11 adding a new “L”
or “T” upright and
connecting with shelf
supports to complete
the add-on unit.
15. If installing units back to back, insert clothespins (Ref. No. 8)
through the top of the uprights to tie the units together.
NOTE: The plain shelf
(without slots) is for the
unit top.
10. Continue the assembly by
placing supports, shelves and
backstops as described in
steps 8 and 9. The
recommended spacing
between shelves is twelve
inches, which equals six open
keyhole slots between supports.
11. The top shelf supports and top shelf (Ref. No. 3) should be installed
ush with the upright top. Note that the top shelf has no divider slots.
12. Insert shelf dividers (Ref. No. 7), ve per shelf (or as needed), by
placing dividers into slots on the shelf and then hooking into the slot
in the back stop.
