Question of the Day
How do I hang wall cabinets if the studs don’t line up?
Catch at least one stud if you possibly can, and gang the cabinets into one stiff run so a box with a poor fixing shares its neighbours’. Better still, first mount a ¾″ plywood or a 2×4 backing board across the studs and screw the cabinets to that. Heavy-duty toggle bolts can back those fixings up, but never let them carry a loaded upper on their own — and never trust drywall alone.
