12. Now, go back and tighten all Cam Locks and Screws. Make sure that all the parts are tight and there are
no gaps between the pieces. This will help keep the unit square.
13. Unfold the Back Panel (J) and lay it to the back edges of the assembled unit, as shown. Make sure the
overlaps on the panels are even all the way around. Secure the Back Panel (J) in place using the 5/8”
Screws (5). We recommend attaching the back panel with the screws at the corners first.
14. Stand the assembled unit upright.
15. Extend the Hinge Arms (12) and rest the hinge cups onto the cutouts of Door Panels (G), as shown.
Secure the Hinge Arms in place by using two 1/2” Zinc Screws (4) in each.
16. Pick up one Door Panel (G) and attach the extended Hinge Arms to the Hinge Bases installed on the
Right Side Panel (D). Loosen the lock bolt on the back of Hinge Base for an easy fit. Align and insert
the “U” slot on Hinge Arm under the lock bolt head on the back of Hinge Base. Make sure that both
door hinges engage and function properly. Tighten the bolt on the hinge base to lock the hinges in place.
17. Repeat the last step to attach the other Door Panel (G) to the Left Side Panel (C).
18. Open and close the Door Panels (G) to make sure it is aligned and shuts correctly. If necessary, adjust

27. Now, follow the instructions printed on the plastic bag containing the Tipping Restraint Hardware to
attach the tip-over restraints to the unit and the wall. As shown in the illustration.

Tipping Restraint Hardware with the unit to prevent the unit from tipping, causing any
accidents or damage. The tipping restraints are intended only as a deterrent, they are not a
substitute for proper adult supervision. The tipping restraints are not earthquake restraints. If
you wish to add the extra security of earthquake restraints, they must be purchased and
installed separately.
