Optional Laminate Top Assembly
Note: It is recommended that all
laminate tops be secured to storage
unit(s) from the underside with
fasteners through drilled holes
(2” from the edge at each corner), in
addition to securing with double-
sided tape (fasteners and tape
provided) (Figures 1 & 4). It is
required that laminate tops larger
than 42” long and/or having a
depth of 18” or greater, be secured
to storage unit(s) at the corners
as illustrated, plus two additional
“on-center” mounting locations. One
rear on-center location should be
2” from the storage unit back edge
and another must be 5” back from
the front edge, and on-center as
illustrated (Details A & C).
1. Position, level and gang storage
unit(s) together (if applicable) at their
final installation location. If casters
are assembled to the storage units,
engage the locks on the casters to
prevent the units from moving.
2. Clean the top of storage unit(s), at
each corner with warm water and mild
detergent, then rinse and wipe dry.
3. Use a tape measure and pencil
to locate and mark four pilot hole
locations to the top of the storage
unit. As illustrated, each marked
location should be near each corner
and be 2” in from the front/back and
right/left-hand sides, at the top of the
storage unit (Figure 1).
4. To gain access for drilling and to
install fasteners, remove the top two
drawers from the storage units where
applicable (Figure 2).
5. From the top of the unit, drill a

diameter hole at each marked corner,
and at the on-center front and back
location if applicable (Detail A).
When all appropriate mounting holes
have been drilled, remove debris
from storage unit(s) (Figure 3).
Note: For laminate tops larger
than 42” long or having a depth of
18” or greater, two or more people
are required to correctly align and
position the top onto the storage
unit(s). For any size laminate top,
ensure top is positioned correctly
before setting on tape as it will be
difficult to move afterward.
