How to Install Wall Cabinets 01

Kitchen And Bathroom Renovation : How to Install Wall Cabinets 01



Position a corner upper cabinet on a ledger and hold it in place, making sure it is resting cleanly on the ledger. Drill 3⁄16" pilot holes into the wall studs through the hanging strips at the top rear of the cabinet. Attach the cabinet to the wall with 21⁄2" screws. Do not tighten fully until all cabinets are hung.



Attach a filler strip to the front edge of the cabinet. Clamp the filler in place and drill counterbored pilot holes through the cabinet face frame near hinge locations. Attach filler to cabinet with 21⁄2" cabinet screws or flathead wood screws.



Position the adjoining cabinet on the ledger, tight against the corner cabinet or filler strip. Clamp the corner cabinet and the adjoining cabinet together at the top and bottom. Handscrew clamps will not damage wood face frames.



Check the front cabinet edges or face frames for plumb. Drill 3⁄16" pilot holes into the wall studs through the hanging strips in the rear of the cabinet. Attach the cabinet with 21⁄2" screws. Do not tighten the wall screws fully until all the cabinets are hung.
