    The back of the cabinet may not be strong enough to hold the weight. It's better to screw a board to the wall studs and on the back of the cabinet frame like in this video kzread.info/dash/bejne/dox3zdSnl8fSorQ.html. This gal is reusing old cabinets which you can find for free from people who are remodeling.

    @@mijo5964 Agree, I have these cabinets and they dont have the backer strips... the particle board back is literally the only thing holding these cabinets to the wall, and it appears to be glued to frame. In the video, they are attaching the cabinets to each other, so that's a little reassuring I guess. I'm using these in my laundry room, but if I were installing in a kitchen where they'd be holding heavy dishes, I'd be concerned about their holding ability and do something to reinforce them.

    Good question, this is why I looked at this video in the first place. I bought an older home to rent out and it has upper cabinets that are already hanging due to screws only going through the particle board giving way. The cabinets I purchased do not have the reinforcement strips and am wondering if I should put some in the cabinets before screwing them to the studs.

    Hello. I have a question. I wanted to install an ordinary shoe cabinet on my bedroom wall. However since the cabinet has a very thin back, it would be difficult to attach it to the wall. Except from the back, the rest of the cabinet looks very strong, which is why I got it in the first place for shoes. Our walls are pretty dry and hard so I know it will be difficult to drill and I would probably need many screws to hold the cabinet. I was wondering if you could give me your opinion on whether and how I can install this cabinet safely withought fearing it will one day fall off the wall. Also I can give you the weight and or measurememnts of our cabinet if you want. And what size and length screws would i need to use for this? Thank you

    Great video. But 3" screws seem kind of excessive. Cabinet back is about 1/2" to 3/4" and the drywall is 3/8" to 1/2". That leaves at least 1 3/4" of screw into the stud. At most, almost 2". Seems a bit much. I would recommend 2.5" screws. Thanks for the nice video, either way.

    I see your comment has been up for 6 years, but in case someone else reads it, the screws aren't just holding up the cabinets, they are holding up everything you put in those cabinets, so go with longer screws. 3 inch or 3 1/2 inches would be best. Just consider that a 2×4 stud is actually 3 1/2 inches deep, your sheetrock wall is probably 1/2 inch, and the back of your cabinet is hopefully another 1/2 of plywood (though cheapo cabinets might be particle board, or much thinner plywood), and you see the screw would have about 2 1/2 inches into the stud. That should support several hundred pounds assuming the cabinet itself can handle that. In a kitchen where you will be keeping plates and glasses, or pots and pans, that should be fine. For safety and longevity you want your fasteners to be rated to at least 3 or 4 times the actual load they will see.

    Amature at best, first of all you install base runs first then overheads, as base cupboards able the installer to use adjustable stands, especially doing corner overheads. Its easier and stronger to use white heads instead of counter sunk screw, as white heads have a bigger head , well not bore into your surface of board which weakens it and no need for capping. There are other materials and techniques shown throughout this video that myself would disagree with as it those not comply with industry or quality workmanship.
