Important notice

You will notice that the slider part has a bulge, which will be meant to be facing downward.
 
Which means we'll have to invert the slider part on two of the holders. It's explained further in the next steps.

Rail setup

Now all the holders are ready to be mounted to their rails!
 
You have six rails with the kit, you can join them together of have them in different places.
&nsbp;
Usual setup is to put three rails per sides, so the holders have enough height covered.

Rail tool

The rails have a "saw" shape that allows so have them hell aligned, but if you want the extra precision you can use the small Rail tool included in the kit.
 
You can place it at the junction between two rails to keep them aligned.

Corner holders

Corner holders

The rails can also be places in the corner, which is the most optimal place when dealing with small spaces like an Eket, or any narrow and vertical boxes.
 
The kit includes two corner holders per rails, you can attach them to the rails, you might need to glue them in place, but they should hold well already.
&nsbp;
To attach the corner holders to the rail, you need to slide them from the side of the rail.

Glue in place

Glue in place

You can either use hot glue or strong double tape, don't worry the panels are quite light themselves.
 
In both cases, don't forget to slightly sand-paper the surface before glueing, some furnitures have a very slick surface, which is not the best for adhesiveness.
