Hiya Folks,
I'm in the process of hanging cabinets in my laundry room. I've
discovered the studs are 24" OC (not real happy bout this) which
means there will be a couple of cabinets that only hit one stud.
As this is my first attempt at hanging cabinets, I was hoping a
few of you might have some advice for me. One, is this going to
be ok?

I know that I'll be screwing the cabinets together at the faces
essentially creating one cabinet but this seems kind of extreme to
be hanging a cabinet on only one stud.

Once hooked to other cabinets it is not just on one stud. Even not
hooked to others it would probably be OK except for its tendency to
spin like a dervish
I beg to differ. Screwing the cabinets together at the faces doesn't
provide the necessary support in the front, and certainly at the
back.

Differ all you want but the *OTHER* cabinets have fastenings to the
studs too, you know. And there is no support at the front - ever -
other than the cabinets being screwed together. BTW, OP, a good place
for those screws is under the hinge if possible. Won't show there.
