Leah I would like to take a moment to thank you! As a female I wasn’t taught how to do all these projects I do like tiling ,putting in toilets ,laying tile putting in showers, putting in kitchen cabinets ,but I do them feeling pretty darn confident after I watch your videos… Thank you
Even if I'm not hanging cabinets, that's very good information to have. Thanks for showing that to us. Your demonstrations are always so clear and helpful. Thanks, Leah.
Thank you Leah. I am still a few weeks away from hanging cabinets & I was aware of the electrical mounting but the measurements you suggested are a big help.
Be safe.
Thank you, Leah! Getting ready to hang a couple of laundry room cabinets
I made for my wife. I saw this video previously, but saved it to my list to make
sure I watched it again when it was time to hang them. Very informative,
so glad you posted this video! Keep up the great work!
I’ve been following you for plumbing and now to fix a falling kitchen upper cabinet your awesome!!! Thanks for everything you do 🙏🏽
I retired 4 years ago and made my hobby "Home Improvements", as we bought an older unit by a lake here. It badly needed a lot of updating, but I do enjoy the physical work and love to save money on the labor. I wish I had discovered Jane on day one, but I discovered her about 3 years ago. Although I am a pretty good DIY'er, because my Dad was a pro and made me work with him all through all HS & College, I am still a rookie in many areas. Jane explains everything PERFECTLY for me. She helped me in closing an office of the dining room and making it a guest room. She got me framing , Drywalling and doing so many upgrades room by room my wife has been amazed. I saved my kitchen for last because of the cost and new skill challenges. I have just started and should finish in no more than two weeks from bottom to top. Jane is a star! Thanks for doing what you do Jane.
I've done tons of house projects in the last 25+ years on my homes and several others, and I have to confess, I know that there are wires going through studs, but I had forgotten this detail and I tend to buy those 3" to 3 1/2" Spax screws for most projects. I'm hanging upper cabinets in my home this coming week, and I am VERY glad I came across this video! Cheers from another lefty! :)
I was about to install my kitchen cabinets after assembling them, when CZcams recommended this video (because we all know that our phones are listening to us, if you didn't know that you have obviously not been paying attention). Anyways, I watched this video (I love Leah's videos, she's so good) and holy crap, she saved me from putting a 3" screw into the studs that I know are near outlets and wiring. Went to the hardware store, got the right length (and correct type) of screw, and now I have well-installed cabinets and functional wiring simultaneously. Thanks a MILLION Leah, you are SO good.
Also, anybody catch when she's talking about contractors saying "What about the plates" she's saying very subtly "Please don't mansplain me in the comments, there's a reason I didn't bring those up" haha!
Thanks! I’ve got plans to install bathroom cabinets and I hadn’t thought of the risk of not using the correct sized screws.
Leah and my morning coffee.
Its gonna be a good day.
I CAN do this!
Cheers
Well said, hey you!
THIS IS THE BEST BREAKDOWN EVER!!! I've literally been googling for hours trying to find these sorts of details for hanging cabinets
That is a great idea and I never thought of it, but never put up any cabinets though. I love your tips so much and you have great videos for everyone doing projects around home.
I've been looking at several cabinet videos not one talked about only putting screws through the cabinet rails or even what a cabinet rail was.thank you for your videos! When I see them come up i watch no matter what they are about. Always informative
Once again, like I posted on one of your videos, I just love your personality and your knowledge that you are sharing with us is top notch. The way you explain, the video work and mock ups are perfect for us DIY-ers. Thank you. “I can do this”
Oh my gosh!!! In ALL the many wall hanging cabinet videos I've watched, not one person mentioned this critical tip. Thank you!!
Amazing...Here I am... 1:45 AM...deciding how I should center my cabinets, if I should cut my homemade 4 door 70" floorstanding oak in half...and wall mount 1/2 of it... pondering, pondering... running the studfinder...stud here, stud there...electrical ... awww hell, I'm going to bed....
And then "magically", I open youtube... and Leah pops in... with advice...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰🥰
Wow! Excellent tutorial on how to choose the correct screw length. I had no idea about the requirement for wires to be run through the center of the stud...glad I learned this tonight because we're hanging cabinets tomorrow! Thank you!!
Thank you so much. I'm a new homeowner and was planning on hanging a bathroom cabinet soon and I never would of even thought about this.
Yet another great video, Leah. I never knew this, and it will be quite helpful when I get to my garage remodel this fall!
Great video! I will be raising the height of some existing cabinets in my older kitchen to accommodate the height of a modern refrigerator, and this info helped a lot. I didn't even know there were cabinet-specific screws. I think I will also find the need to replace/reinforce the hanging plate. The deep cabinet over the fridge and the adjacent standard-depth cabinet are tilting down. It's good to be able to do things yourself with some help from people like you.

My girlfriend and I are getting ready to make a tiny home, we've been watching your CZcams's to get the correct way to do the wall's and kitchen.
We both like how well you do the information. Thumbs up.
your are an awesome teacher taking into consideration all the possibilities and explaining them in detail. If you raised children, I know they ALL love you for teaching and guiding them so well as you do us. not everyone has such a gift. Bless you as I have been bless to have found you. Never get tired of learning all you teach me.
Great video 👍🏿….Many people know how to do different things well, but they can’t teach or explain. You are a natural teacher and I appreciate you.🙏🏿
Great info, Leah! Thank you for the content - and your amazing clear explanation.
Thanks for taking the time with this tip. I'm rehanging kitchen cabinet and was reaching for a longer screw....
Your tips are always so practical, I always learn something new when I stop by your channel!
I LOVE, LOVE your videos!! I appreciate that you consider us newbies! You're an excellent teacher!!!!
Your videos are always super clear and easy for us DIYers to understand. Great job, thanks for posting!
i watched your videos on crown molding..i have them all put up now..thank you for the great advice.
Leah's videos are the BEST!! She really does need her own tv show!!!!! Excellent explanations!😊👍
Thanks Leah. Always good info.
Thanks Leah!! Always enjoy watching your videos. When I get myself into a situation.. I try and think, what would Leah do?
Thank you Leah . I think of you often when working on projects . I’m building shelves in. My basement and used some of your anchoring techniques to fasten 2X4s to the old concrete walls . Some learning curve but SUCCESS . you can do it too echos in my mind . ❤️
way to go, Jon! And thanks...🙂
Leah, I love your videos! You explain things so well. I’m a beginner at woodworking and you have been such an inspiration to me ;-).
Good tip Leah. I know someone who hung cabinets last year and the screw went right through the nailing plate and into the wiring. Luckily it was only in one spot and in a spot where the wire went from one box to the next and was an easy fix.These modern screws are harder and have a self drilling tip and some nail plates aren’t as hard as others.
Great visual! I know it takes a lot to do these videos and it is appreciated.
Thanks Leah! Helpful information as always.
Getting ready to hang our new cabinets in a few weeks - this video was terrific! Thank you!
Excellent lesson! Thank you Leah.
I'm glad to see you addressing this topic.
Thanks for the tip & thanks for starting this channel Leah & crew.
Once again saved by Leah, your videos are always spot on.
I really like the way you explain the "how" and the "why" on your videos!!!
Leah, your advice is timeless!
Always learn a lot from your content. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless you!
Thanks so much! We're about to install our own cabinets so that's really good to think about!
Good video excellent tip! I always thought that the longer 3” screws were a must to hold more load. Thanks for the tip.
I would say one of the most informative DIY videos I've seen. Thank you! I have aluminum studs.
Excellent as always Leah,,,,thanks
Great video! Very informative on something I never really thought about.
in most of the counties around Minneapolis in MN, nailing plate is only required if you cannot meet that center hole in the stud for whatever reason, or if you have thicker tubing/pipe
Very helpful information thanks for sharing.
I am using cabinets.com now for my remodel; they did a great job with their design, and are quick to respond. I will be ordering my cabinets as soon as the changes I suggested are made. Very pleased so far.
Great video, always good to see your excellent work
Great tips as always, seems a little patience and common sense can go a long way, instead of blindly rushing in. Thanks again Leah
Your video was soooo helpful. Thank you!
never thought of that thanks for the video Leah!
Best cabinet video yet, thanks Jane!!
Exellent advice. Not only for cabinets but other applications as well.
That was an excellent video. I'm going to be doing some cabinet work this fall and next spring. For sure, this is something to consider.
Love your videos. Thank you for the useful tips!!
Another great video by Leah!
You address subjects that are missed everywhere else, thank you Leah.
Thank you. I’m installing cabinets this winter and had no idea about this.
This video was amazing information thank you so much!
Thanks, Leah! Forewarned is forearmed!!! I'll be interested to see the kitchen remodel. I have some reservations about the cabinet quality, however. At 0:43 and 2:18 I'm seeing staples that were used. I realize that (hopefully) components were also glued, but staples as fasteners in furniture/cabinets don't inspire me. Anyway, looking forward to seeing your kitchen project develop!
Leah is right about this. In California the electricians are supposed to install nail blocks or nail plates on the stud to prevent a screw or nail from penetrating their wires when the drywall is to be installed. Well, they don’t always do it. I just ran into this at a home when I had to remove drywall because of a plumbing leak. So follow her advice on this, even all you pros who think you know everything. I’ve seen this on homes that are only 20 and 30 years old, some studs have the nail blocks and others don’t.
very helpful informative video, thank you.
Great information Leah! Thanks....
As always, another great teaching moment from Leah.
Awesome tip as usual... Thx Jane
Great informative videos as always and links and info in the descriptions, thanks
Excellent advise - thank you
Thank you for this amazing tip!
I always love your vids Leah, youre an awesome teacher.
Thank you!! So glad I found this first!
This is great information and explained so clearly. Thank you, Leah.
you're very welcome, Debbie!
Great channel! You are a great teacher!
WOW…THANKS!!! I just watched a video from Lowe’s and they said to put the screws down through the middle of the cabinet 🤦🏽♀️ I’m thinking wouldn’t that eventually pull the back of the cabinet off 🤔 Thanks for showing the proper way and for the information about the screws…AWESOME! NEW SUBSCRIBER ☺️
Great information, thank you!
You are the absolute best Leah!
Another great tip. Leah, you rock!
Great info! Very impressed with your channel, as a new home owner I’m constantly watching!! Thank you!
🙂
Awesome. You are such a great teacher!
Great advice!! Thank you
Subscribed . I was googling recommended screw depth for attaching cabinets and it took me here . My cabinet will be holding an over the range microwave. I do realize some of the weight is on the upper back wall on the hanging rail they provide .
In my case I have 1/2” drywall over 3/8” plaster . Then the cabinet has a backing making it 1” thick where it’s supported . I’m basically going to use a 3” screw and hope for the best
Super helpful! I love how you always inspire, educate and empower women!
Your videos are always uplifting and helpful. From one leftie to another, my handwriting is iffy as well. Cheers.
Nice and easy!!! Great class!!!
Great lesson! Thanks for sharing
