Abstract

A wall rail system includes a cabinet rail having a base portion and a hook portion which projects away and downwardly from the base portion, the front of the cabinet rail being free of sharp edges, and an elongate wall rail including a base portion and a hook portion which projects away and downwardly from the base portion, with the front of the elongate wall rail also being free of sharp edges, whereby the front of the cabinet rail can smoothly slide over the front of the wall rail and guide the hook portion of the cabinet rail into a channel defined by the base portion and hook portion of the elongate wall rail during installation of a cabinet unit. The absence of sharp edges on the fronts of the wall rail and cabinet provide easier installation and reduce the potential for damage to walls and/or cabinet units by inadvertent contact with the rails during installation.
