How To Mount Wall Cabinets

Mounting wall cabinets is a great way to add extra storage space to your kitchen or bathroom without taking up floor space. While it may seem like a daunting task, if you follow these simple steps, you can mount your wall cabinets in no time.

Materials You'll Need:

Wall cabinets
Mounting brackets
Screws
Level
Stud finder
Drill
Hammer

Steps:

1. Determine The Location Of The Wall Cabinets The first step is to determine where you want to mount your wall cabinets. Once you know where you want them, use a level to mark the top and bottom of each cabinet on the wall. You should also use a stud finder to locate the studs in the wall, as you will need to mount the brackets into the studs.

2. Install The Mounting Brackets Next, you need to install the mounting brackets. The brackets should come with screws that are specifically designed for mounting them into studs. Drill pilot holes for the screws, then drive the screws into the studs. Make sure the brackets are level before you tighten the screws.

3. Mount The Wall Cabinets Once the brackets are installed, you can mount the wall cabinets. Lift the cabinet up onto the brackets and align the holes in the cabinet with the holes in the brackets. Drive screws through the holes to secure the cabinet to the brackets.

4. Level The Cabinets Once the cabinets are mounted, you need to level them. Use a level to check the top and bottom of each cabinet. If necessary, adjust the screws on the brackets until the cabinets are level.

5. Secure The Cabinets To The Wall Finally, you need to secure the cabinets to the wall. Drive screws through the holes in the back of the cabinets into the studs in the wall. This will help to prevent the cabinets from pulling away from the wall.

Once you have followed these steps, your wall cabinets will be securely mounted. Now you can enjoy the extra storage space without having to take up floor space.
