Hardware for hanging wall cabinets

 

Hi All
?
Any suggested/recommended hardware for hanging kitchen wall cabinets? Ideally I would like to install a steel rail to the wall, picking up the studs, and then make minor alterations on the fittings that would be attached to the inside of the cabinet sides.
?
Something like this?
?
I have a lot of cabinets to build and install. The base units are already installed (long story), so I'm looking to make this as easy for myself as possible.
?
?
Thanks in advance.
?
Cheers,
Rob P.

I have used similar that I get from Hafele for years on many cabinet installs. It works well as long as you can catch enought studs or have blocking in the walls. Mollybolts on an end if you absolutely can't get a stud... like at the end of a cabinet run.

Sorry if this is too simplified¡­.cut in a 1X6 into the drywall at the top and bottom (which would necessitate removing a bit of each stud as well) or use half inch ply and cut that in to the drywall. Often rough carpenters will cut a 1X6 into during rough??

Kind regards,

If you build your uppers with a 1/4" back with nailers, then you can route a space for a 1x4 to sit under your nailer. This is how I typically hang my uppers. I can do all the prep work of fixing a 1x4 exactly level, and screw all the cabinets together I can, then just need a hand to lift the cabinets up on to the wall until I get a screw or two in. Doing it this way you will find it way easier to get everything lined up and installed with a minimum amount of fuss, and perfectly level and without any distortion of the boxes. When you pop the doors on, you will be amazed at how easy it is to get all your doors closing properly and the reveals right.

Given that your base cabinets are already in place, do yourself a huge favor and pick up a pair of Third Hand cabinet jacks?from Fastcap. They make installing the uppers in this situation a breeze.

I've only used the metal hanging rail system that Ikea uses, and it is very slick. This one from PM is available individually if you don't need to buy 100 like the link you provided.?

Blum also has a very adjustable rail hanging system that is fairly easy to incorporate into your cabinets.

I¡¯ve gone to just using 1/2¡± plywood for all of my cabinet backs. ?I found it¡¯s a lot less labor and fussing around. ?And you can put a screw anchor anywhere. ?
