This assembly manual provides instructions for the Winston Porter 12-Drawer Storage Cabinet. Please read all instructions carefully before beginning assembly. Power tools are recommended for assembly. Some steps require at least two people to complete safely. Ensure you have a clear, spacious area to work in.
Parts and Hardware
Before starting, verify all components against the parts list provided on pages 4-6 and the hardware list on page 7. Ensure all quantities match the requirements listed in the manual. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact customer support via your order page.
Assembly Preparation
The cabinet uses a cam lock and quickfit system. To ensure a stable build:
- Quickfit: Tighten the quickfit until the shoulder is flush with the panel. Do not over-tighten or under-tighten.
- Cam Lock: Ensure the starting position is correct before inserting the quickfit. The quickfit head should be in the center of the cam lock when panels are joined. Turn the cam lock clockwise to tighten.
Cabinet Frame Assembly
The frame assembly involves connecting the side panels, middle dividers, and support beams. Follow the step-by-step diagrams provided in the manual (pages 9-13). Pay close attention to the orientation of panels 7, 8, and 10. Use the specified screws (K) to secure the dividers to the support plates.
Drawer Assembly
Assemble the drawers using the provided side panels, back panels, and drawer bases. Ensure the drawer slides (CL/CR) are attached correctly to the drawer sides and the cabinet frame. The manual provides specific instructions for left, middle, and right drawers.
Final Assembly and Wall Anchoring
Once the frame is assembled, attach the back panels and the base/legs. If the drawers are not aligned or if there is a sinking in the middle of the cabinet, rotate the accessory 'L' under board 5 to adjust the height. Wall anchoring is required for safety. Follow the instructions on page 28 to secure the unit to the wall using the provided expansion bolts and screws.
