Before you begin, ensure you have the following tools on hand:

  • A tape measure
  • A pencil
  • A drill (with appropriate drill bits)
  • A screwdriver (compatible with the screws provided)
  • A level

Measure your cabinet space to ensure the carousel will fit snugly. Most Utrusta carousels are designed to fit standard 24-inch wide cabinets, but it's always best to double-check.

Installing the Carousel Unit

Now that you're prepared, let's install the carousel unit itself. Follow these steps:

  1. Remove your existing cabinet doors and shelves to create a clear workspace.
  2. Position the carousel unit inside the cabinet, ensuring it's level and centered.
  3. Mark the drill points, then use your drill to create pilot holes. Be sure to drill into the cabinet's studs for added stability.
  4. Attach the carousel unit to the cabinet using the provided screws. Tighten them securely, but be careful not to overtighten and strip the screws.
