Remember to use long 3" screws into the studs when mounting your
cabinets!

A good tip when mounting cabinets to the walls these days is to use
"Spax" screws.

These things have an amazing sheer strength and holding power ... much
more than lag screws of the same size, need no pilot hole, have less
tendency to split wood, and self countersink.

Highly recommended for attaching kitchen cabinets to wall studs and
blocking.

Some Borg's even carry them now. And McFeely's is a given.

Downside is the price, but if you want each component in a kitchen job
to do its part in the best possible manner, they're cheap at twice the
price.
