  • Measure the distance from the back of the Cams on the bottom fixed shelf and measure to both cams.

  • Measure the distance from the back of the bottom cap to both drilled holes in the bottom cap. These should be the same measurement as the cam locations on the bottom fixed shelf.

  • If they are not the same: Rotate the bottom cap and check the measurements again. If there is still an issue, use a multi-tool to extend the hole in the bottom cap so the Cam will fit inside. A final option is to replace the piece entirely.

  1. Dry fit the bottom cap.

  • Ensure the board fits along the bottom of the system with the appropriate overhang on the sides and front (refer to the elevation for placement).

  • If the bottom cap needs to be cut down in size, make the appropriate mark in pencil and cut it to size using a table circular saw.

  • Dry fit again to ensure the bottom cap is the correct size.

  1. Place the bottom cap below the bottom shelf and clamp it into place.

  2. Using an 18-gauge nail gun, place 1” 1 1/4” nails from the bottom shelf into the bottom cap to secure it into place.

  3. Place 1 1/4” screws from the bottom fixed shelf into the bottom cap into each of the partitions. Screws should be placed at each partition.

  • Alternate placing them in the front and back of the partition along the length of the system.

Screws must always be used to secure a bottom cap. Using only nails will not suffice.

  1. Cover the screws with fast caps or wax them.

  2. Ensure the bottom cap is secure.

  • There should be no gap between the bottom shelf and the bottom cap.

  • If there is a gap: A Cam may be pressing on the board due to the hole not being deep enough or in the right place. The A screw can be used to tighten the gap.

  • If the gap is still visible, the bottom cap will need to be removed and the hole for the Cam will need to be extended or deepened using the multi-tool.
