Default installing kitchen cabinets

Hello all,
i am in the process of installing kitchen cabinets. I have everything
measured and have located all wall studs. I have a cabinet that is 12" W x
30" H. Unfortunately it falls in between 2 studs.
What types of anchors should i use when attaching it to the wall. Also,
there are cabinets on both sides of it. What size/type screws should i use
to attach the cabinet to the cabinets beside it, that will be anchored into
studs? I am using 14 x 2" screws to attach the cabinets to the studs.
regards
Steve


You might be able to use hang strips, though this could be a trick to
adapt to the particular cabinets you have. These are fir strips you
attach to wall and cabinets, with angle so that the cabinets don't
slide off. The ones on wall would run the full length of your cabinet
run, screwed to studs. Difficulty is that you'd have to notch sides
of cabinet where strip passes through. Carefull measuring required,
though the hang itself is real easy.
