ASSEMBLY OF IMPERIAL DOUBLE ENTRY FILES
15. 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 two. ontinue with
step 16.

Single Unit Com leted Unit
Ready for Add-On
16. Repeat steps
5 through 14,
adding the
shelf sup-
ports to the
"T" upright
already in
place on
the unit.
14. Insert shelf dividers (Ref. No. 6) by placing
dividers into slots on shelf
and then hooking into
the slot in the
back stop.
You have
been pro-
vided with enough dividers for
ten per shelf level (five on each side of the
shelf), but these can be placed in whatever
position most suits your needs.
13. The top shelf supports and
top shelf (Ref. No. 5) should be installed flush
with the upright top.
Note that the top
shelf has no divider
slots. No shelf
reinforcements
are needed under
top shelf.
12. ontinue the assembly by
placing supports, shelves,
reinforcements and
center stops as
described in steps
8 through 11. The
recommended spacing
between shelves is twelve
inches, which equals six
open keyhole slots between
supports. If necessary,
move the temporarily placed
reinforcement from step 7.
Save the plain shelf (without
slots) for unit TOP.
11. Place the shelf, with the center stop attached,
onto the unit
by lowering it
over the top
of the shelf
supports. The
edges of
the shelf
should fit
over the
top of the shelf supports, hiding them from view.
7. Hold a second L upright
(or a T upright if you are
assembling multiple units)
approximately 36" or 48"
away, depending on the
width of your unit. Pull the
first upright away from the
wall using the shelf support
you attached in step 5, 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 sta le until step 8 is
completed.
8. 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 5
through 7.
Then, place a
second shelf support
at the bottom front
of the unit.
5. Lean one L upright against
a wall, and temporarily
place one shelf
support (Ref. No. 2)
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 firmly seated at
the bottom of the
keyhole as shown in
step 6.
3. Examine the slots on the two up-
rights you have selected. When an
upright is standing up on end, the
narrow part of the keyhole slots
should be toward the floor, while the
wide part should be toward the top.
UP
DOWN
6. PLEASE NOTE: To firmly seat shelf
supports, make sure both rivets are fully
inserted in the keyhole slots, and firmly
seated in the bottom of the slot. A rubber
mallet can be helpful in accomplishing this.
Supports are not fully seated unless you
can see an open space through the hole in
the shelf support as shown elow.
1. Unpack all items and carefully compare the
items you received with the packing list on the
back page.

2. Determine whether you will be assembling a
single unit, or multiple units joined together. For
a single unit, use two closed L uprights (Ref.
No. 1a). For multiple units, use one L upright
and one open T upright (Ref. No. 1b).

10. Attach one center stop (Ref. No. 3) to one of the
slotted shelves (Ref. No. 4) by aligning the three
holes in the center stop
flange with the
holes in the
center of the
shelf. Attach with
three 10-24 x 1/2" bolts and nuts (Ref. Nos. 8 & 9).
9. Place a shelf reinforcement (Ref. No. 7) across
the two shelf supports. The
slot in each end of the
shelf reinforcement
should fit over
the ridge of the
shelf support.
NOTE: 48" wide units will
use TWO shelf reinforcements
per shelf level, equally spaced.
4. After determining the top
from the bottom of the
upright, attach a plastic foot
(Ref. No. 10 or 11) to the
bottom of each upright by
pressing it into place. Note the
difference at right between
a foot for an "L" upright
and a foot for a "T" upright.
