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.

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.
