First, remove the old drawers from the filing cabinet. Then flip it so that the bottom of the cabinet is on the side.

Cut a piece of peg board to the same size of the bottom (now side) of the filing cabinet. Lay the peg board over the bottom opening and mark the centers of the top, bottom and sides of the cabinet.
