106 Installing Cabinet Wall
Fillers
Field Tip:
In some cases, the base cabi-
net will not contact the wall at
the top corners when it has
been plumbed and leveled.
Securing a Base Cabinet Under Tension When Cabinet
Must be Held from Wall and Studs are not Available at Outside Corners
Typically, shims and screws
are used at these corners to
keep the cabinet level when
fastening it to the wall.
In the case of large cabinets
where a stud is not located
close to the cabinet sides, it is
helpful to arrange the shims
so the back attach will defl ect
slightly (up to 1/4”).
Shimming correctly at the
outside corners and then shim-
ming less at the interior stud
locations can keep the cabi-
net secured against the wall
through tension created in the
back attach cleat.
If the top corners
of a cabinet box do not
contact the wall when
a cabinet is plumb
and level,
place shims at the
outside edges to hold the
cabinet level even if a screw
will not reach a stud.

At the stud locations,
shim with less space
so that the back attach
is placed under
a slight tension.
(up to 1/4” for
cabinets over 18” wide)
