This document provides comprehensive installation instructions for the ClosetMaid Suite Symphony 2-Drawer Tower and its compatible drawers. Before beginning, ensure you have all parts listed in the manual and the necessary tools: a screwdriver, hammer, drill, tape measure, and level. Important: All units must be fastened to the wall to prevent tipping. Do not hang the unit on the wall; it is not designed for wall-hanging.
Parts Identification
The manual includes a detailed parts list for both the tower and the drawers. Familiarize yourself with all components, including cam locks, cam posts, dowels, screws, and shelf supports, before starting assembly. Note that product width may vary by model.
Tower Assembly
The tower assembly involves several key steps:
- Cam Lock Installation: Ensure the arrow on the cam lock points toward the hole in the edge of the panel before inserting the cam post. Tighten until fully secured (slightly over half a turn).
- Panel Preparation: Install cam locks and cam posts into the side panels and shelves as indicated in the specific steps.
- Assembly: Attach the bottom and top shelves to the side panels. Ensure finished edges are oriented correctly (usually facing forward or upward as specified in each step).
- Gussets: Attach triangle gussets to the back of the units to ensure stability.
- Wall Mounting: Secure the finished unit to the wall using the provided L-brackets, anchors, and wall screws.
Drawer Assembly
The drawer assembly is a separate process:
- Drawer Components: Assemble the drawer front, sides, and back using cam locks, dowels, and confirmat screws.
- Drawer Slides: Attach the drawer slides to the drawer sides. Ensure the soft-close mechanism is extended and locked in place.
- Installation: Align the drawer slides with the slides installed on the tower base and push the drawer into place.
Safety and Maintenance
Follow these safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage:
- Overloading: Do not overload the unit. If any shelf, top, or bottom bows or bends greater than 1/2 inch, it is overloaded.
- Stability: Always unload the unit before moving it. Do not climb or step on the unit.
- Work Surface: Protect your work surface during assembly to prevent scratching or damage to table tops or floors.
- Power Tools: Use caution when using power tools and ladders.
