ASSEMBLY OF 1870 OR 2470 CABINET
Tools Needed: A free 11/32” nut driver is included with each Tennsco cabinet.
Two people are recommended for assembly. Approximate assembly time: 20-30 minutes.
2. Place the cabinet back (Ref. No. 1) on a protected surface
to prevent scratching the paint. The ange on the bottom of
the back should be facing upward.
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.
3. Attach the left side (Ref. No. 2) to the back by placing
ange (A) around the back and bolting it together
with seven bolts and nuts Ref. Nos. 15 & 16). Be sure that
the lances on all shelf adjustment strips (B) point in the
same direction.
5. 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.
6. Place the top (Ref. No. 5) onto the unit. Be sure that the
anges tuck inside the cabinet sides and back. Secure
with eleven nuts and bolts. The front part of the top will
bolt into place in step 8.
4. Attach the right side (Ref. No. 3) to the back in the same
manner as in step 3, again making sure that the ange
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.
7. With both doors in the closed position, lift the door
and frame assembly (Ref. No. 6) and place it over the
cabinet body. Be aware that the door latches have not
yet been attached,
All lances point UP on
the back and side.

so the doors could
potentially swing
open if the door
frame is held in
an upsidedown
position. The
door frame should
cover the outside
edges of the
entire storage
cabinet front.


NOTE: When bolting the unit together, leave
the bolts slightly loose until Step 10, unless
otherwise specified.

1. Place the locking handle
(Ref. No. 9) on the right
hand door and fasten with
two #8-32 X 1/4 hex-head
bolts and lock washers,
provided with the handle.
2. Turn the handle to the
open position and
place the locking cam
(Ref. No. 10) over the
square shank of the
door handle. The latch
must be facing downward
as shown. Then place the
locking cotter pin (Ref. No.
12) through the hole of the
square shank.
3. With the handle still in the open position, hook the
locking bars (Ref. No. 8) to the locking cam (see
“A” at left). Once in position, slowly rotate the door
handle to the closed position so the lock bars
prot rude from the holes at the top and bottom
of the door (shown at right, below).
4. Slide the nylon lock bar
guide inserts (Ref. No.
11) over the lock bar
ends and through the
door slots (see “B” at
right). Push down rmly
until the guides snap
into place.
5. Attach the “dummy” handle
(Ref. No. 13) using two
#8-32 X 1/4 hex-head bolts
and lock washers.

8. With the door and frame assembly in place, attach it
securely to the unit by opening each
door, one at a time, and securing
the frame assembly using
two bolts and twenty
nuts. This will
require attaching
nuts to the
nine pre-welded
studs along
each side, plus
two bolts and
nuts along the top.
Using two people, set the unit upright and tighten all nuts
around the entire unit. Insert the remaining shelves at your
desired levels. The shelf you inserted earlier may also be moved
to a different level if desired.
10.
Two holes
must be in front.
Insert shelf
into bottom lances.


Levelers
Access Holes
11. The cabinet must be
level in order for the
doors to close properly.
Levelers may be adjusted
by placing the nut driver
through the hole in each
end of the sill and adjusting
the leveling screw.
NOTE: In order to place
the shelves, you must
first tilt the shelf slightly
to the left or right before
inserting it into the unit.

9. Place the the bottom (Ref. No. 7) in the lowest notch of the
shelf adjusting strips on the back. Make sure the ange with
two holes faces the front, and that it is over the ange of the
frame sill. If necessary, you may
push out on the side
walls to
enable
the bottom
to more
easily slide
into position. Attach
the shelf securely by bolting
the bottom to the frame sill
with two bolts and nuts.
