How To Hang A Cabinet By Yourself

[@katbetaonfrags]

Step one have all the tools needed to hang a cabinet ✍🏾

[@juancho1269]

Ofc or dont even go 😂

[@ItchyKneeSon]

Alternatively, French cleats on a pre-leveled, pre-hung, pre-drilled piece of 3/4" plywood.

[@r.rodriguez4991]

Unless the cabinets have a flat back, right?

[@ItchyKneeSon]

GENE?!? Is that you?! Gene Yiss?? Class of '92? I knew you'd be someone someday. Good for you!

[@kmw97918]

Lol the channel bio says the guy’s name is Matt.

[@theoriginalmonstermaker]

That's gotta be one of the most generic looking white dudes ever; you thought you could identify him from college 30 yrs ago?? Lol. He'd be 50 now, and this guy looks like he's late 30s tops... he must have been a very precocious child!

[@jdthnt]

@@kmw97918Oooo the genius of this person’s comment was missed by you, my friend.

[@buddjuke6694]

What do you call those adjustable support poles? I'd like to shop around for those things first.

[@coreychristenson6500]

FastCap 3rd Hand is the larger one and the smaller ones are called little hand also by FastCap

[@buddjuke6694]

@@coreychristenson6500 Awesome. Thank you so much!

[@wy3131]

How can 4 screw/bolts on the back panel be strong enough to hold the whole cabinet up?

[@noahdominguez9949]

Did you pre drill your holes? & if so, did you pre drill them through the cabinet & then the wall? & follow up question, do you have to pre drill your holes for something like this?

[@ItchyKneeSon]

There are very few situations in which pre-drilling is not beneficial. In the words of Shia labeouf, "JUST DO IT!!!"

[@andrewbonthius787]

Not necessary to pre-drill. I have never seen the adjustable extensions, but I've been solo hanging cabinets with a leveled piece of wood for years without the extension supports. Instead of the music though commentary on the importance of finding studs for all screws would be. good. Once you get the first screw in (always up top) you're pretty much home free.

[@SatyendraKumar-li8tx]

Please send stand link

[@JanFinochio]

Better still do not put the doors on or the shelves in until the cabinet is hung

[@RunDMS]

Jan coming with that fire!

[@Jcdere322]

Im a wannabe DIYer, I have to ask, do wall cabinets need support underneath?

[@vespaman101]

No. They are screwed into the wood studs on the wall.

[@TheBakersGuild]

Why the wood between the jack stands and the cabinet? I just put them right on my third hands and jack it up to my level line, then check the actual box for level.

[@theoriginalmonstermaker]

Probably bc it allows him to get it somewhat level first, and offer a stable platform to lift it onto... not to mention prevent damage to bottom of cabinet.

[@brianlove6175]

Wow

[@buddjuke6694]

Would also love to have a closer look on how you nailed it to the wall please.

[@theoriginalmonstermaker]

Just screwed through the back panel into studs

[@kazkaz1491]

Take the doors and shelves off and it's half the weight!!! Easy

[@melindazfamily7567]

Is that a regular drill or a gun drill?

[@infallible7425]

That's a regular drill not a nail gun, as it wouldn't be strong enough to hold the cabinets that would be full of plates cups etc

[@kasatoafrica]

I learned🙏

[@mrcoollu9662]

What is the name of what’s holding the cabinet

[@TheHandyManual]

The short hand jacks are called Little Hand and the longer one is called the Third Hand by the company Fastcap. Here’s a link for Little Hand: amzn.to/3B0TUZr Third Hand: amzn.to/3ziXAoa

[@martinanderson7869]

Spend £17K on mini acro's and put your head in the way of the camera when drilling the holes & dont show what fixings to use. Easypeasy Japaneasy.

[@kasatoafrica]

what is the name of that holding cabinet?

[@TheHandyManual]

It’s called the “third hand” by the company Fastcap

[@troyelder56]

Made this way harder than it needed to be just use French cleats

[@johndoe-lz8fo]

Where do you buy those stands?

[@get2liz]

Wait it only takes four screws to hold in cabinets? I thought it was way more complicated 😮

[@RemixxGlamGal]

Right, definitely can do this by yourself. Use a piece of wood to hold the cabinets….find your wall studs

[@thenande]

Same.. this looks dangerous. I've seen the installers for my kitchen cabinet use concrete wall anchors to attach a wood securely to the wall and then the cabinet is hung on it to support its weight and then finally screws to prevent it lifting out.

[@martingeniz308]

Unless there’s wood behind that drywall will it work. But if it’s just a screwed to the drywall. It’ll be a matter of time until they start coming off by the weight

[@mprrx]

Find the studs. Level. I just took some 1950 cabinets, had nails. If you can have another set of hands will work...he has 3.

[@ItchyKneeSon]

French Cleats, brah.

[@gaving9463]

How do you Find the studs

[@luissantiago2571]

With a stud finder. I personally like to use the little magnet stud finder

[@andrewbonthius787]

Stubs are usually 16" o/c (on center) starting at the closest corner wall. Try a screw or 1/4" drill first to see if you hit it. Then use a 3-4' level to draw a vertical line down the wall and transfer that line to the inside back of the cabinets. There are some good stud finders on the market, but be careful, there are a lot of bad ones. Sorry I can't recommend one.

[@tryhardclips5669]

Name of jacks please 🙏

[@ItchyKneeSon]

Hans & Franz.

[@shanesmith369]

NO!!! Screw that three-quarter ledger board to the wall! Set the edge of the cabinet on that ledger board!!! Don’t follow the new wage age of doing stupid!
