Installing SoDo Vanities & Drawer Banks
CAUTION! When mounting heavy fixtures onto a wall, extra care must be exercised to ensure a safe and durable
installation.
• ALWAYS use the Mounting Bar system to distribute the load evenly.
• ALWAYS use adequate fastening devices into adequate holding material.
• If you are not familiar with loads, holding materials, proper fastening devices/techniques; consult a professional.
These instructions are for installing your SoDo
wall-mount vanity or ensemble to a wall con-
structed of 2" X 4" wood studs covered with ½"
gypsum board/sheet rock. Any other installation
must be undertaken by a qualified construction
specialist with knowledge of your specific ap-
plication.
Install SoDo vanities and drawer banks using
5/16" X 3½" lag screws with washers (provided).
Lag screws must engage at least two wall studs
and the lag screws must not be more than 3"
from cabinet sides. Otherwise, a cross member
between wall studs should be installed and a
qualified contractor should be consulted for instal-
lation. (See illustration 1.)

Place the vanity or linen into it’s exact final position and level where necessary using the leveler feet.
Vanities must be secured to wall studs in at least two positions along the back and one in the side, if the
side is against a wall. Shim where necessary at securing points between wall and cabinet if the wall is not
exactly straight or plumb.
Additionally, it is especially imperative that any tall cabinet – like a linen cabinet – must be secured to the wall.
We include hardware for this but your specific installation may require different/additional anchoring.
