INSTALLATION OF 1480 CABINETS
1. 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.
2. Place the cabinet back (Ref. No. 1) on a
protected surface to prevent
scratching the paint. The
flange on the
bottom of
the back
should be facing
upward.
4. Attach the right side (Ref. No. 3) to the back in
the same manner as you did in step 3,
again making sure that
the flange is around the
back and that the lances
on the shelf adjustment
strips are
pointed
in the
same
direction as
those on the back
and left side.
6. Insert bolts into the outside
holes on the header (Ref.
No. 5), placing two on each end
as shown in Inset A. Attach
the nuts, but do not tighten. Next, insert
the loose bolt heads on the
header into the large
end of the
keyhole
slots
at the
top of
each
side panel.
Slide the bolt
heads securely into the smaller end
of the keyhole slot, and tighten the
four nuts securely.
7. Attach the sill (Ref. No. 6) to the two holes on
each side of the cabinet bottom, using the same
technique you used to attach
the header in step 6.
Flange faces upward
3. Attach the left side (Ref. No. 2) to the back by
placing flange (A) around the back and
bolting the back and
side together with
seven bolts
and nuts
(Ref. Nos.
18 &19).
Be sure
that the lances
on all shelf
adjustment
strips (B) point
in the same direction.
Flange goes
under back
B
A
5. To help hold the sides in position, insert one
shelf (Ref. No. 4) into the approximate center of
the unit, inserting the shelf edges into the
lances on all
four shelf adjustment strips.
Be sure that the
channeled edge of
the shelf
is toward
the cabinet
front. If
a lance
is too
tight, it
may be
helpful to use
a screwdriver to
SLIGHTLY pry it open.
Two bolts
and nuts on
each side
All lances point UP
on both back
and side.
Inset A
Inset B
Loosely place
two bolts and
nuts on each
side, then
slide into
keyhole slots
and secure.
Inset A
Place bolt heads into
keyhole slots, slide to
narrow end, and
secure nuts.

8. Place the bottom (Ref. No. 7) in the bottom
lances of the shelf adjustment strips. The
flange with
two holes
should
face the
front, and
it should
hang over
the sill.
Bolt to the
sill with two
two bolts and nuts.
9. Attach the top (Ref. No. 8) by sliding it
under the header and sides, with the
flange hanging over the back.
Secure with 14 bolts
and nuts (three
along each
side, four
in the back,
and four
along the
front).
11. Attach the left door
(Ref. No. 9) to the unit by
placing the door on the hinges,
aligning the holes, and using
a hammer to tap the hinge
pins (Ref. No. 16) into place
with the side of a screwdriver.
10. Set the unit upright and insert
the remaining shelves at
your desired levels.
Insert shelf into
bottom lances.
Two holes must
be in front.
12. Attach the right door
(Ref. No. 10) to the unit
in the same way you
attached the left door.
1. Place the locking handle
(Ref. No. 12) on the
right hand door and
fasten with two #8-32 x
1/4 slotted hex-head
bolts and lockwashers
(Ref. No. 18).
Handle/LockingSystemInstallationInstructions
4. Slide the nylon lock bar
guide inserts (Ref. No. 15)
over the lock bar ends and
through the door slots (see
"B" at right). Push firmly
until the guides snap into
place. If necessary, turn
the handle back to the
open position and gently
tap with a hammer until the
guides slide into place.
3. With the handle still in the open
position, hook the locking bars (Ref.
No. 11) to the locking cam (see "A" at
left). Once in position, slowly rotate the
dor handle to the closed position so
the lock bars protrude from the holes
at the top and bottom of the door
(shown at right, below).

2. Turn the handle to
the open position, and
place the locking cam
(Ref. No. 13) over the square
shank of the door handle. The
latch must be facing down-
ward as shown. Then place the
locking cotter pin (Ref. No. 14)
through the hole of
the square shank,
as shown at right.
