How to adjust soft close drawers
All doors and drawer fronts are adjusted in the factory, however they may need to be adjusted again once the cabinet has been fitted.
It is very important that the cabinet is fixed off and secured level and plumb before any adjustments are made.

Adjust side-to-side alignment
The drawer front can be moved from side to side to get the alignment right.
Loosen the screws marked #1 on both the left and right drawer front mounts.

Gently reopen the drawer and tighten the screws marked #1.
Tip: Hold the drawer front in position while tightening the screws so it does not shift out of alignment.
