How do you attatch Solid Oak Kitchen Cabinets to the Wall?

Is there any particular way you have to attatch them eg bolts to the wall?My old units were attatched with just a screw in each corner into the wall but as these are solid oak i was wondering if you need extra support?

Sensible Man is correct. I would recommend that you use a cleat along the bottom to assist in hanging the cabinets. Oak is pretty heavy. Just locate and mark your studs. Get a nice straight 2×4 or 1×2 piece of lumber and, using a level, attach it to the wall into the studs with screws where you want the bottom of the cabinets to be. Now you have a nice level ledge to rest the bottom of the cabinets on while you attach them to the wall with 3 inch cabinet screws. I recommend you pre-drill your holes to make the screws go in easier. It’s easy to strip or overheat and break a 3 inch screw if it gets caught up in the oak. You can also rub a bar of soap on the screw threads to help lubricate them.

Once your cabinets are secure, remove the cleat and patch the holes.
