BrightWood Custom Cabinet
Installation Information
Please follow instructions.
Key Factors During Installation
We recommend that all cabinets should be installed by experienced professionals. It is not a difficult task, but there are special tools and techniques that professional cabinet installers use.
It is essential that all BrightWood cabinets are properly secured to wall or floor studs. The cabinet must be mounted using four or more course-thread screws at least 2 1/2” in length. The load capacity of hanging cabinets is dependent on the quality of the installation screws used and whether the screws are properly secured into studs. If the cabinetry is not installed using high quality, course-thread screws secured into two or more wall studs then the cabinet may not support the weight desired.
Cabinets installed at the floor must be secured into studs to prevent tipping. Standard or custom quoted cabinets are not designed to be free standing units at any time. BrightWood cannot and will not be responsible for failure caused by insufficient installation materials or techniques.
All cabinets must be installed level, square, and plumb. Do not "rack" or force cabinets to become out of square. Cabinets that are not installed as mentioned may have doors and drawers that will not line up and/or open and close properly. "Racking" a cabinet out of square may void the warranty.
Recommended Cabinet Fasteners
GRK cabinet screws (min. size 2 1/2 inch) with washer head.
Prior to installation the cabinet doors and drawers may appear to be crooked. This is normal if the cabinet is not level or plumb. Once the cabinets are permanently installed plumb and level, the doors and drawers should be adjusted (if needed) prior to mounting any knobs or pulls.
