PRODUCT-SPECIFIC SAFETY WARNINGS

For inset doors only.
A removable catch or stop must be installed to keep the bottom of the door from swinging too far back.
The measurements shown are for 3/4″ thick doors. Thicker doors will require different drawer runner placements.

Assembly and Setup

Cut 1/2″ wide x 5/16″ deep rabbets on the rear face of the door, along the left and right edges.
The slide parts or “members” are stamped for easy identification. The part marked “CL” mounts to the left side of the cabinet. “DL” mounts to the left side of the door. “CR” and “DR” mount to the right side of the cabinet and door, respectively.
Place the door with its front face down on a suitable work surface, making sure to keep track of the left, right, top and bottom edges. (The top edge should be closest to you.) Fig. 1.
Position the door members (DL and DR) at their respective edges on the back of the door, along the rabbets. Fig. 1. The ends of the door members should be flush with the top edge of the door, and the mounting tabs should be positioned on the back of the door so that each runner overhangs the rabbet. Figs. 2 and 3.
Trace the oblong hole patterns from the mounting tabs onto the back of the door on both sides.
Drill a 3/32″ diameter pilot hole 1/2″ deep in the center of each traced hole. (Drilling in the center allows for fine adjustment of the door members’ position if needed.)
Attach the door members (DL and DR) to the back face of the door’s edges with the included #6 x 1/2″ flathead screws.
Please note the following key details regarding installation within the cabinet:
• The bottom rear edge of the face frame above the door should be chamfered to allow needed clearance for the door as it is lifted and pivoted upward to slide back into the cabinet. Fig. 4
• There should be a 1/4″ gap between the top of the door and the bottom of the face frame above it when the door is in the closed position. Fig. 4
• The door should be sized to allow a 1/8″ gap on both sides and the bottom.
Mount the cabinet members (CL and CR) to the inside cabinet walls using the included #6 x 1/2″ flathead screws, positioning the roller at the front of the cabinet.
The measurements shown are for 3/4″ thick doors. Thicker doors will require different drawer runner placements. Fig. 5
To install the door, tilt it and feed it, bottom edge first so that the channels on the door members engage with the rollers of the cabinet members. Continue to feed the door until it bottoms out, and then allow the bottom of the door to swing back toward the front of the cabinet.
Install a removable catch or stop inside the cabinet on the sides of the shelf to keep the door from swinging too far back during use.
To remove the door, remove the catch or stop, tilt the door so that the bottom is toward the back, and lift the door out, reversing the process described in Step 9.
