GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION: Some parts may have sharp edges. CARE must be taken when handling various pieces
to avoid injury. For safety, wear a pair of work gloves when assembling or performing any maintenance on your cabinet.
Congratulations on your purchase of a
Counter High Storage Cabinet from
Tennsco! Our cabinets provide abundant
storage space; the Model 1842
is 36"w x
18"d
x 42" tall, while the Model 2442 is
36"w x 24"d x 42" tall. Our cabinets are
rigidly constructed to give you
years of
dependable and
efficient service. Nylon
lock-bar guides ensure smooth,quiet
operation. A locking handle with two keys
provides a three-point locking system for
added security. Sturdy adjustable shelves
provide exceptional strength — up to
150 lbs. per shelf (evenly distributed) on the
18" deep cabinet and up to 200 lbs. per
shelf (evenly distributed) on the 24" deep
cabinet. And our baked-on powder finish adds
even more durability.

Tools needed: An 11/32" nut driver (provided free with unit); a hammer; and a flathead screwdriver.
Two people recommended for installation. Approximate assembly time: 15 to 25 minutes.
INSTALLATION OF 42"H STORAGE CABINET
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 back (Ref.
No.
1) on a
padded
surface
with
the flanges
facing upward.
6. Attach the door frame assembly (Ref. No. 6) to the
cabinet body by placing it over the sides. Align the
weld studs with the slots in the left and right sides,
and attach using four nuts on each side.
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 four bolts and nuts
(Ref. Nos. 16 & 17). Be sure that the lances
on all shelf adjustment
strips (B) point in the
same direction.
5. Place the shelf (Ref. No. 5) into the shelf adjusting
strips somewhere near the center of the cabinet, to
hold the sides in an
upright position
while installing the
door frame assem-
bly and top. Be
sure the channeled
edge of the
shelf is to
the front.
(Don't be
too con-
cerned
about the
position of
the shelf at this
point. You may
move the shelf up or
down as desired later.) Make
sure that the rear and sides of the shelf aref well
seated into all four lances.
NOTE: You may use a flathead screwdriver to
slighty pry the lances outward if they are too tight
to insert the shelf edges into.
Flange goes
under back
A
All lances
point UP on
the back and
on both sides.

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
lances on the shelf adjust-
ment strips are pointed in
the same direction as
those on the back
and left
side.
Channeled edge of shelf
is toward front of unit.

2. Turn the handle to the
open position, and place
the locking cam (Ref. No. 9) over the
square shank of the door handle. The
latch must be facing
downward as shown.
1. Place the locking handle (Ref. No. 8) on the
right hand door and
fasten with two
11/32"
hex head bolts and
lockwashers (Ref. No. 14).
Tighten with the provided
nut driver.

4. Place the locking
cam retainer (Ref. No. 12)
over the square shank of
the door handle. Tap on
the edges of the cam
retainer with a hammer
until retainer sits firmly
against the locking cam.
3. With the handle
still in the open
position, hook the locking bars (Ref.
No. 10) to the locking cam (see "A" at
left). Then, hold the lock bars in
position while sliding the nylon lock
bar guide inserts (Ref. No. 11) over
the lock bar ends

11/32"
hex-
head bolts and
lockwashers (Ref. No. 17).

in the lowest notch of the shelf adjusting strips on
the sides and back. The flange with the two holes
must face the front, and fits over the base plate of
the frame.

to open and close properly.
Insert a flathead screwdriver
into the two leveling holes and
turn the screws until the
cabinet is level.
7. Set the unit upright and attach the top by inserting
the weld-studs
into the holes
provided on
the left and
right sides.
The flange
should fit
over the
outside of
the rear of
the cabinet,
and theoff-
set should
be toward
the front.
Bolt
together by
attaching
nuts to the
weld studs
and inserting
bolts and nuts through the
holes along the back edge.

level, move up or down as
needed.
