How to Install Universal File Bars

Q) How does a Universal Custom Cut File Bar attach to a Universal File Clip?
A) First, determine which direction the "flat side" of the the bar will face. Second, place the clip on a flat surface, and insert the end of the bar into the slot in the clip. The bar will "lock into" the clip. TIP: We recommend that you install the "lock screw" into the clip BEFORE inserting the bar into the clip. Only screw in approximately half way at this time.
Q) How can I install a front-to-back Universal File Bar into a lateral cabinet if there is no "edge or ridge" to hang the bar onto?
A) First, create a side-to-side bar (1 or 2 as necessary). This bar then functions as the "ridge" that the front-to-back bars can attach to. (See question #5).
