Attaching the Full Overlay Panel

1.If user-supplied cabinet handles will be used, attach their hardware to the overlay panel at this time.

IMPORTANT

User-supplied cabinet handles MUST be counter bored to make sure mounting hardware is below surface of overlay panel. Failure to do so can cause damage to overlay panel and/or drawer. Overlay panel will not sit flush to drawer if mounting hardware is not counter bored.

CAUTION

It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood when hardware is installed.

4.Remove tape adjoining the panels and enlarge the five holes in the overlay panel using a 0.201" (#7) drill.

5.Attach the drawer panel to the overlay panel using #10 x 5/8" wood screws and nylon spacers. The nylon spacers fit between the overlay panel and the door panel as shown in Figure 11. The spacers allow the original drawer panel to slide back into the 1/ 4"-thick drawer front reveal (channel).
