Technique 2 - Replacing Missing Bumpers
3 T2.1
Bumpers are
installed at the factory, however
some of them are knocked off
during the delivery and installation
of the cabinets.
There should be a bumper on
each side of a drawer and at the
top and bottom strike side of each
door.
3 T2.2
If any of the bump-
ers are missing, clean the area of
any residue, chips or dirt.
Peel a bumper from its backer sheet
and press it firmly onto the area it is
to mount.
Technique 3 - Filling Open Interior Carcass Joints
3 T3.1
If an interior joint in the carcass opens up greater than 1/16”, the reason must be determined.
Usually this is due to damage while the cabinet was being delivered, or the cabinet has been installed over a
hump in the wall without proper shimming to keep it flat.
Before proceeding with a repair, check that the joint is not loose and that the condition is locked in and will not
get worse. Check that the doors and drawers on the cabinet can be adjusted correctly.
If the joint is loose, or the doors will not adjust correctly, repair the cabinet joint before proceeding.
Do Not Allow
Caulking to
Partially Cover
an Adjacent Joint
126
3 T3.2
If the gap persists even though the joint is not flexible, apply an even bead of white adhesive
caulk to the offending joint only and wipe away the excess.
Do not allow the caulking to spread onto an adjacent joint.
