I want to put the cabinets on a stud wall covered with drywall.
What do i do with say a 15" wall cabinet,because the cabinet will only cover
1 stud.
What do i do in that case ( don't i need to support a cabinet on more than 1
stud ?


The other posters have covered the high points. Google 'french cleat
cabinet' to see another method - a hanging rail. That's the standard
European method, and what IKEA cabinets use. It does become an issue
if your cabinets weren't designed for a hanging rail - then the side
of the end cabinet can be seen to stand off from the wall. That can
be dealt with by using a filler strip, trim or a side panel.
