How to hang cabinets: Everything you need to know
Learning how to hang cabinets yourself will save loads of money on kitchen remodeling. Our simple guide explains how to install kitchen wall cabinets, along with tips and tricks of the trade.
Taking the time to prepare the working space is important: without proper planning and materials, you could end up with crooked cabinets, broken electrical lines, or gaps in the walls.
Here are some important steps to follow before installing new kitchen cabinets.
If your cabinets have a lighting system, check if electrical wiring is running through the middle of your hanging rail. If this is the case, choose cabinet screws that are the correct length and won’t cut through the electrical wiring.
After you have prepared the working space, you’re ready to install the new kitchen cabinet.
Once your new cabinets are securely attached to the wall, you’re ready for the finishing touches. Here’s how to finish installing upper cabinets.
As a final touch: it’s a good idea to use a sealant along the edges where your cabinet meets the wall or backsplash. Loctite Polyseamseal Tub and Tile Adhesive Caulk can be easily painted over, acts as a barrier for insects, and is perfect for filling gaps between cabinets and walls.
