Detailed cabinet assembly instructions come in Box A. If for some reason you are missing an assembly
instruction, you can download a copy from our website www.eurorite.com. The following pages will have
important information when installing some of our more unique type of cabinets.
Installation screw kits are sold separately. One INS kit can install on average 7 cabinets. Be sure to order
enough to complete your installation.
BLIND CORNER WALL & BASE CABINETS
Blind corner cabinets can be used when space is an issue and a traditional angle corner will not fi t.
When installing these cabinets here are a few things to remember:
www.eurorite.com
1. You must “pull” the blind cabinet out from the wall
far enough to clear the adjacent cabinet, door and
hardware. On average that would be 2-4" for blind
wall install and 7-9" for blind base install.
2. A filler strip has to be installed between the blind
panel and the adjacent cabinet. The filler strip must
be greater than the projection of the handle on the
adjacent cabinets.
3. A 36" blind wall comes with 2 doors.

Euro-Rite offers a non-standard corner base option for versatility when designing a kitchen. You can increase
or decrease one side of your corner base 3-6" to accommodate adjoining cabinetry when you just need that
few extra inches.
When installing non-standard corner cabinets here are a few things to remember:
1. The cabinets are not directly mounted to the wall, there is a 5"
space between the backboard and the wall
2. You will receive a standard corner base cabinet along with an
extension kit. The smaller, standard shelf extension is discarded.
3. The assembly and adjustable shelves are a combination of 2
pieces and are locked together with cam and dowel.
4. The extended side can be either on the left or right side of the
cabinet by flipping the shelves.
5. The smaller of the 2 doors is always hinged to the cabinet.

Euro-Rite offers 2 sizes of diagonal base cabinets. A 36" and a 42". These unique cabinets are popular for large
kitchens. Both can fit a sink but the 42" is the only one large enough to fit a double basin sink. If you would like a
sink in the 36", it has to be a single basin.
When installing diagonal corner base cabinets here are a few things to remember:
1. The cabinets are not directly mounted to
the wall, there is a 5" space between the
backboard and the wall.
2. The CSB42 come with 2 doors
3. The CDB36 comes with 1 door and an
adjustable shelf that must be installed
prior to the top shelf.
4. Do not install a drawer bank or door/drawer
unit on either side of these cabinets.
5. Where a dishwasher is beside these
cabinets, use a filler strip or DW gable to
allow for space.

We have developed a unique system for any microwave confi guration. The MW cabinet has an extended bottom
shelf and no doors to house your microwave. This cabinet is available in either 24" or 30" width. It is to be
assembled and attached to any 2 door wall cabinet. See page 2.37 for pricing.
When using a microwave wall cabinet here are a few things to remember:
15" GABLE DEPTH WALL CABINETS
1. Verify height allowance when designing the space.
2. Attach the MW cabinet to the wall cabinet carriage bolts.
3. To cover the side seam, you can install a DC30.
4. Usable depth is 16".
Euro-Rite offers wall cabinets with 15" deep gables. The benefi t of using a cabinet with 15" deep gables (sides)
is the ability to stagger different heights of cabinets to crown molding without an apple basket cut.
1. **important** the INSIDE depth of the cabinet
remains the same as our standard wall cabinets,
11" deep.
2. On a corner wall with 15" deep gables, you must
increase the cabinet width by 3".
3. Full 15" deep wall cabinets are available as a custom.
See page 7.3 for available customs and pricing.
4. Some framing/cleating is required to attach these
cabinets to the wall.
