      Place the cabinet against the wall and adjust. Mark with a piece of chalk where the top of the cabinet hits the wall on the top right and left corners.

      Run a stud finder across the wall, marking the location of the studs with a piece of chalk. Make sure you make your marks above the top line which denotes the top of the cabinet.

    • 3

      Line up your cabinet with the top edge chalk mark. Drill a screw directly into the middle of the cabinet, using your stud finder marks to help you line up with the studs.

      Drill in a screw directly into the left end of the top brace board. Use your stud finder marks to help guide you so you know you are drilling directly into a stud. Repeat with the right end of the top brace board. Repeat this entire process with the middle and bottom brace board.
