Default Furniture safety straps?

This is a really stupid question demonstrating (no doubt) limited
intelligence but how are you supposed to install a child safety
furniture strap (to anchor a cupboard to a wall)?

The free straps that come with some cupboards are about 5 inches long
- if you screw one end in to the cupboard there is not enough room to
get a screwdriver in between the cupboard and the wall to screw the
other end in!


The ones I have seen, you screw to the wall FIRST, then poke the stap
through to the inside of the cupboard, then screw to inside!
