I am trying to hang some kitchen cabinets, but it seems the studs to
not go floor to ceiling. At the top of the cabinets the studs
disappear! I have over 30" where there are absolutely no studs to
screw into. I found the studs for the bottom of the wall cabinets,
so the problem is at the top and I have no ledge at the top of the
wall to screw into either. I have a 24" corner cabinet that I can't
put any screws into studs. I have the cabinet on the right with 2
screws into studs at the top and screwed into the corner cabinet. To
the left is the problem. An 24" cabinet is going in there and there
is no stud to screw into until a few inches from the left hand side
of that cabinet. There are no studs from the left end of the cabinet
all the way across to the inside of the corner cabinet. What would
be the best way to attach this securely short of building a stub wall
above the cabinets?

Securing the bottom of the cabinet to the existing studs and wall anchors at
the top to prevent tipping would work. The cabinet load will be handled
entirely by the bottom anchors.

This scheme will NOT work if somebody puts excessive downward force on the
doors.
