The 2×4 box frame goes into the studs of the wall on the back end, and through the back of the cabinet on the front end. Update: We’ve since added a box support behind this cabinet. At this point, we didn’t want all the weight being supported by screws on only one side of the cabinet. Below, you can see that the cabinet is currently resting on a stack of scrap 2x4s this is to keep the weight of the cabinet evenly distributed until the side panel is place. We attached another pair of 2x4s on the exposed side of this cabinet, which the side panel will eventually attach to and fillers will conceal. … and we used 2.5″ wood screws to go through the side of our cabinet, into the 2x4s and into the studs.

You can see in our laundry room plans that just to the left of this cabinet will be a side panel that rests on our countertop – so like I said, dominoes! A few quick measurements had us realizing that we would like 1.5″ fillers on each side of this cabinet, which is the exact depth of a standard pine 2″ x 4.” We attached two 2x4s plus a thin piece of plywood (to account for the inset lip on the side of each cabinet) directly into the studs… In our case, the cabinet above the washer and dryer was the most crucial piece for all the dominoes, so to speak, to fall into place. ( This is our favorite stud finder, by the way!) We worked our way around the room, taping around the area where we thought the cabinets would hang. Here’s how we made it work for us!Īfter emptying the room of our cabinet piles, we marked all the studs with blue tape. We weren’t fast, but we did get them hung in a (long) afternoon! As a quick reminder, we’ve partnered with, and we chose their Aspen White Shaker ready-to-assemble cabinets. Together, we watched a few videos, read some step-by-steps, inspected our own kitchen cabinets, and when we were tired of reading and watching, we said, let’s not overthink this. Truth be told, I began to feel intimidated about the process after falling down the proverbial tutorial rabbit hole.
Aside from the hanging rail system that we’ve used in the past for our fauxdenzas, we had yet to hang cabinets in the traditional sense, that is, until now! Turns out, it doesn’t need to be as complicated as some of the tutorials we read online. When we last left off with the laundry room cabinets, we had just finished building them – fresh from their flat-packed boxes! – and we laid them in place until we were ready to install.
