WOOD STUDS
The centerofthe stud can be located by probing the wall with a small nail to find the edgesofthestud and then placing
a mark halfway between the edges. The center of any adjacent studs will normally be 16” or 24” to either side of this
mark.
NOTE: In the event that the unit will be unable to be supported by any stud, it will be necessary to use special care
in the placement of the toggle bolts and top cabinet screws. See Wall Template for details. The top cabinet should
be tested to ensure it is securely attached to the wall. Place extra weight up to 127 pounds inside the top cabinet
to test the support.
