Congratulations on your purchase of a Tennsco
Deluxe Storage Cabinet! Tennsco's 1870RH and

They provide secure storage for office supplies, books,
records, small parts, tools, etc.
These cabinets offer five openings with four adjustable
shelves, two brushed chrome handles (one fixed and
one lockable with two keys), and a three-point locking
system for extra security. Additional features include
rear louvres for ventilation and nylon lock-bar guides
to ensure quiet operation.
Tennsco's cabinets are constructed from top quality 22
to 24 gauge steel with a 16 gauge frame, and offers
weight capacities of up to 200 lbs. per shelf (evenly
distributed). Our attractive and durable powder-coated
paint finish will provide for years of service.
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

INSTALLATION OF 1870RH AND 2470RH 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 flanges 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.
Flanges face 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. 14 &15). Be sure that the
lances on all shelf adjustment strips (B) point in
the same direction.
Flange goes
under back
B
A
All lances point
UP on both
back and side.
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.
6. Place the top (Ref. No. 5) onto
the unit. Be sure that the flanges
tuck inside the cabinet sides and
back. Secure with 11 bolts and
nuts (three along each side,
and five in the back).
The front of the
top will bolt
into place
in step
8.
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, so
the doors
could potentially swing
open if the door frame is
held in an upside-
down position.
The door
frame should
cover the
outside edges
of the entire
storage cabinet front.
Inset A

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 at right.
10. Insert the remaining
shelves at your desired
levels. The shelf you
inserted earlier may
also be moved to a
different level if
desired.
1. Place the locking handle (Ref. No. 9) through
the hole in the right hand
door and push until it
snaps into place.

8. With the door & frame assembly in place, attach it
securely to the unit by opening each door,
one at a time, and securing
the frame assembly using
2 bolts and 20
nuts
(Ref. Nos. 14
and 15). This
will require
attaching
nuts to the
nine pre-welded
bolts along each
side, plus two bolts and
nuts along the top. The bottom
will attach to the frame in Step 9.
11. The cabinet must be
level in order for the
doors to close
properly. Levelers
may be adjusted by
placing a screwdriver
through the hole in
each end of the sill
and adjusting the
leveling screw.

4. Place the lock-
ing 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.
9. Place the bottom (Ref. No. 7) in the lowest notch
of the shelf adjusting strips on the sides and
back. Make sure the flange with two holes faces
the front, and that it is over the flange 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.
Two holes
must be in front.
Insert shelf into
bottom lances.
3. With the handle still
in the open position,
hook the locking bars (Ref. No. 8) 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 and through the
door slots (see "B" at
left).
