I have a *NON*-GFCI 15A 125V duplex receptacle outlet in the garage.

I removed the receptacle and taped off each wire individually

I have FIVE wires: TWO black hot wires, TWO white neutral wires and

An cabinet that has been secured by screws and or bolts shoulkd be
considered a part of the structure and it cannot block access to a
junction box. If the cabinet is free standing and movable without
having to remove screws and or bolts then it should not be considered
part of the structure. As others have stated, wirenut the blacks
together, the whites together, and the bare copper or green grounds
together ensuring that a ground is conected to the box if it is
metal. Make sure the box has a cover installed and is accessible.
