How-To Install Split Pantry Cabinets

Install your DIY kitchen like a professional today!

Split pantry cabinets are the best way to DIY. They’re much easier than a full size pantry unit to install, plus, they come fully-assembled!

How-To Install Split Pantry Cabinets

1

To start, remove the door and shelves from the base pantry cabinet

See our video for How-To Remove a Door
2

Lay the cabinet on its back to fix the adjustable feet

The cabinet will come with the base plate of the adjustable feet installed
3

Attach the adjustable part by slotting it into the base

4

Wind the feet to adjust them to the height of your kicker

5

Place the cabinet in position

Stand the cabinet upright, being careful not to put the weight on the feet while the cabinet is at an angle.

If it’s next to an end panel, the carcase will be set back 20mm from the front of the end panel. If it’s next to a cabinet, the cascases will be aligned.

6

Add your top cabinet

Firstly, remove the door, shelf and glides

Glides are on the top of the cabinet, and are used for protection during transportation.

7

Place the cabinet on top of the pantry cabinet

8

Secure the two cabinets together

Drill pilot holes through the bottom of the upper cabinet, into the pantry cabinet, at the back, front, left and right

Use 28mm screws to secure in place

9

Level the tower

Level vertically, at both the front and side

Adjust the feet if required

10

Double check the position of the tower carcase - either 20mm back from the front of an end panel, or flush with a cabinet carcase

11

Secure the tower to cabinetry

Secure the tower to the end panel or cabinets alongside, at the front and back, top and bottom

Use a 3mm drill bit to drill pilot holes through the side of the cabinet

Use 28mm screws to screw from the inside of the cabinet through to secure in place

12

Once cabinets have been secured to each other, secure them to the wall

How the cabinet is attached to the wall depends on the wall type.
