connecting cabinets – hardware?
We’ve installed other face framed cabinets, but what is the recommended fastener for connecting the cabinets?
I have not seen those fasteners on the website, however perhaps I’m overlooking something. Your company supplies all the other things so I am wondering if I missed that part on ordering. If its hidden area for those fasteners, a web section header for “hardware” like there is for “Kitchen” and “Bath” would be great if you do carry such things.
The variety of kitchen cabinets we got recently were very good! The supplied hardware worked well to rigidly connect the panels and parts. I love the hinges and sliders! I did have to use a long clamp on occasion where the panels wouldn’t align 100% along the face of the panels when driving the screws in, but the clamp worked well and was a rare thing to happen.
One small error in MFG on our order, I contacted your info line today about getting remedied.

Glad you like the cabinets!
For attaching cabinets to each other, we recommend using a 1.25″ cabinet installation screw or a coarse-thread construction screw like the one shown below, available at Home Depot. For installing cabinets to wall studs, I prefer using a 3″ version of the same screw.
We typically don’t carry cabinet installation screws, as installation requirements can vary depending on factors like metal or wood studs, concrete walls, and more. Additionally, screws are expensive, have low margins, and are heavy to ship. It’s usually best to source them locally, as they are readily available.
