|
| | |
| | - Measure from the outside of the base unit to the centre of the top hole on the fixing plate
- For your reference, this size should be around 33mm
|
| | |
| | - Lay your drawer front as shown with the inside top marked in pencil
- REMEMBER to deduct the side clearance before marking the drawer front
- Just to clarify, the side clearance is 4mm because the unit is 500mm wide and the drawer front is 496mm wide
- This 4mm is halved to give 2mm clearance per side
- Mark the line on your drawer front as shown
|
| | |
| | - Measure from the underside of the upper drawer front to the centre of the top hole on the fixing plate
|
| | |
| | - REMEMBER to deduct the top clearance before marking the drawer front
- To clarify, the top clearance is usually 4mm - 5mm
- Mark the line on your drawer front as shown
|
| | |
| | - You are now ready to attach the fixing plate to the drawer front
- The fixing plate must be removed from the drawer side
- First remove the plastic cover by pulling from bottom corner as shown
|
| | |
| | - Using Phillips screwdriver follow instructions below
- Push screwdriver in until the small sprung plate moves up as shown
- This exposes the full crossed slot allowing you to push screw driver in
|

|
| | |
| | - Extend the marked line as shown as this is also the centre line for gallery rail
- Measure along 128mm from first hole in fixing plate and mark a line as shown
- This line marks the centre of the 10mm hole for your gallery rail
|
| | |
| | - Put tape on to the 10mm drill marking the depth of the gallery rail end
- This will prevent drilling too deep or coming through the front of your drawer face
- Drill both sides to the required depth
|
| | |
| | - Put the end of the gallery rail in the 10mm hole at right angles as shown
- When you straighten the rail, the end expands and becomes a tight fit in the hole
