ASSEMBLY OF IMPERIAL DOUBLE ENTRY FILES
Tools Needed: A rubber mallet is helpful for seating shelf supports. Requires one or two people for assembly.
The first seven steps are easier with two people assembling. Approximate assembly time: 20 to 40 minutes.
1. Unpack all items and carefully compare the
items you received with the packing list on the
back page.
2. Determine whether you will be assembling a
single unit, or multiple units joined together. For
a single unit, use two closed L uprights (Ref.
No. 1a). For multiple units, use one L upright
and one open T upright (Ref. No. 1b).

3. Examine the slots on the two up-
rights you have selected. When an
upright is standing up on end, the
narrow part of the keyhole slots
should be toward the floor, while the
wide part should be toward the top.
4. After determining the top
from the bottom of the
L

upright, attach a plastic foot
(Ref. No. 10 or 11) to the
bottom of each upright by
pressing it into place. Note the
difference at right between
a foot for an "L" upright
and a foot for a "T" upright.
5. Lean one L upright against
a wall, and temporarily
place one shelf
support (Ref. No. 2)
at approximately eye
level to properly
space the uprights.
Make sure both rivets
on the shelf support
are fully inserted into
the keyhole slots, and
are firmly seated at
the bottom of the
keyhole as shown in
step 6.

6. PLEASE NOTE: To firmly seat shelf
supports, make sure both rivets are fully
inserted in the keyhole slots, and firmly
seated in the bottom of the slot. A rubber
mallet can be helpful in accomplishing this.
Supports are not fully seated unless you
can see an open space through the hole in
the shelf support as shown below.

7. Hold a second L upright
(or a T upright if you are
assembling multiple units)
approximately 36" or 48"
away, depending on the
width of your unit. Pull the
first upright away from the
wall using the shelf support
you attached in step 5, and
insert the other end of the
shelf support into the
second upright. NOTE:
Take care not to let the
uprights fall, as they are
not stable until step 8 is
completed.
8. Place a shelf support at the rear of the unit in the
bottom keyhole slots, in the
same way you placed
the shelf support
in steps 5
through 7.
Then, place a
second shelf support
at the bottom front
of the unit.
