Kitchen Over-the-Sink Dish Drying Rack with Door

Expert Installation & Assembly Guide

1. Pre-Installation Check

Before beginning, ensure your sink area meets the following requirements:

• Clearance: Check that you have enough vertical space between your sink and any overhead cabinets.
• Faucet Height: Measure your faucet to ensure it is lower than the rack’s bottom tier (typically fits standard and high-arch faucets).
• Parts Audit: Lay out all components, including the side frames, horizontal support bars, tier baskets (plates/bowls), ribbed glass doors, and accessory attachments (knife block, hooks, chopping board holder).

2. Frame Assembly

• Step A (Base Structure): Connect the two vertical side frames using the heavy-duty horizontal support bars.
• Step B (Securing): Use the provided hex key/bolts to tighten the connections. Ensure the frame is square and the suction-cup feet are attached to the bottom of the side frames for maximum stability on the countertop.

3. Tier & Door Installation

• Step C (Main Baskets): Hook the lower and upper tier baskets onto the frame. The lower tier is usually designed for heavier bowls, while the upper tier features dedicated slots for plates.
• Step D (Ribbed Glass Doors): Carefully align the flip-up doors with the pivot points on the front of the tiers. Ensure the doors swing upward smoothly and stay open when needed. These doors are essential for keeping dishes dust-free and maintaining a clean look.

4. Accessory Attachment

Customize your rack by hanging the following items on the side frames:

• Knife Block: Place on the side frame to keep blades dry and safely out of the way.
• Chopping Board Holder: Usually clips onto the outer side of the frame for easy access.
• Utensil Hooks: Distribute the integrated hooks along the support bars for hanging ladles, whisks, or small pans.
