ASSEMBLY OF J1878A-N CABINET
Tools Needed: A free 11/32” nut driver is included with each Tennsco cabinet.
Two people are recommended for assembly. Approximate assembly time: 30-40 minutes.
2. Place the 2-piece 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.
Bolt the back panels together with
seven bolts and nuts (Ref Nos. 17 & 18).
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 together with
seven bolts and nuts. Be sure that the lances on all
shelf adjustment strips (B) point in the same direction.
6. Attach the sill (Ref. No. 8) to the sides. Place nuts loosely on each
of the studs and slide the ends of the sill into the slots on both
sides of the unit. Then, securely tighten the nuts.
4. Attach the top (Ref. No. 5) to the unit by sliding the outer
ange over the back of the unit and the side ange on
the top over the side panel. The
threaded studs should go
through the holes in the
top ange of the
side and
fasten with
three nuts.
Attach the
back to the
top using four
bolts and nuts.
7. Place the rear ange of one of the shelves (Ref. No. 4) into the
four bottom lances of the back. The front of the shelf will rest
on the sill.

both backs and side.

NOTE: When bolting the unit together, leave
the bolts slightly loose until Step 8, unless
otherwise specified.
5. 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 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. Push the side panel up so the studs in the top go
through the holes in the top
ange of the side and
fasten with three
nuts as in
step 4).




8. Set the unit upright and tighten
all nuts around the entire unit.
10. Attach the left door
(Ref. No. 6) to the
unit by placing the
door on the hinges,
aligning the hinge
holes, and dropping
the hinge pins (Ref.
No. 15) into the slots.
Then, tap the top of
each hinge pin until
fully seated.

Access Holes
9. Insert the four remaining shelves
at your desired levels.
NOTE: In order to place the
shelves, you must first tilt the
shelf slightly to the left or right
before inserting into the unit.
12. 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.
11. Attach the right door
(Ref. No. 7) to the unit
in the same way you
attached the left door.

1. Place the locking handle
(Ref. No. 10) on the right
hand door and fasten with
two #8-32 X 1/4hex-head
bolts and lock washers,
provided with the handle.
4. Slide the nylon lock bar
guide inserts (Ref. No.
13) over the lock bar
ends and through the
door slots (see “B” at
right). Push down rmly
until the guides snap
into place.

(Ref. No. 14) using two
#8-32 X 1/4hex-head bolts

2. Turn the handle to the
open position and
place the locking cam
(Ref. No. 11) 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. 9) 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).
