I see comments on counter sink heads. But how he is doing it is fine. I use the same screws and it looks perfect and works fine. I put cabinets in a Apts complex’s all day. Good job! I like those screws. Work great!!
2 1/2” GRK trim head screws for this, or a wood screw if you don’t have any on hand. The cabinet screws with the flat head are being used incorrectly in this application.
Awesome video. Those are the same cabinets I'm installing. Question... do we do the same for the back, or do they not go connected in the back? Also, do you have any video on how to attach the cabinets to the wall?
Actually, incorrect use of cabinet screws for holding cabinets together. Should have used 2 1/2 wood screws with countersunk heads. Cabinet screws are for holding cabinets to walls.
But doesn’t the washer head provide extra grip when joining cabinets? I have IKEA cabinets that came with washer head screws for joining adjacent units.
Screw he used was perfect. Grk screws are thin head to sit fairly flush, and exert inward pressure without splitting wood. Screws with counter sinking heads always exert some outward pressure on the hole due to the angle of the counter sinking head. Less chance of wood splitting when moving large rows of cabinets, secured together as a unit, are moved around during installation. The washer head aids in distribution of pressure on the wood and less on the hole.
@@waveriderz2687 If you like the look of unsightly screw heads and washers up and down one or both sides of your cabinet frames, you are correct. I prefer to drill a pilot hole with a countersink bit and then use the correct screws which avoids any chance of splitting anything.
I’m using these cabinet screws on these exact cabinets and every screw has broken off after the threading despite having a pilot hole. What could I be doing wrong?
did you have any "end panels" to install? if so how did you do this? I bought some unfinished cabinet from menards and one end has an end panel to cover up the composite wood. I am trying to find the best way to go about this. Construction adhesive, wood glue and brads...? Im trying to stay away from contact cement or aerosol adhesive because the cabinets are installed already and man that stuff smells. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Measure the gap in the front. Cut shims out of plywood to that size. Place in the back gap and screw cabinets together. If you’re putting up against a wall its not really necessary.
That’s how they’re marketed however if you split that face frame then they are ruined. Predrill with a tapered bit. Don’t drill the entire way though. You want the screw to slide freely through the first cabinet and screw into the second cabinet pulling it right

Well hey, this was *exactly* what I needed so thanks! I like the 2 minute format too.
Aww..thank you!
I've used your videos to make sure I was doing things right during home repairs. Thanks for being quick with the info.
This works, so. It's a rental.
Which drill is better to hang wall units
Thank you! This was super easy and simple to follow! Appreciate you!
Thank you, sir for your clear, concise, and simple instructions :)
What size cabinet screw did you use?
PERFECT HOW TO VIDEO!! got what I needed without a lot of fluff❤
Short but excellent detail.

This is sooo helpful!!! I'd like to combine a couple of base bathroom vanity cabinents.
Thanks i was trying glue and all sorts of other gimmicks before seeing this..... Good Stuff!!!

This was very useful. Thanks for the post
I noticed you screwed the faces together. I have been confused as to either screw the faces together or the insides together. Thanks so much
Hi, do you have a video about joining one cabinet on top of the other?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, and use a bit with a countersink built in so the head is slightly below the surface

@@waveriderz2687 Fuck. I just switched out my washer-head screws for countersunk-head screws based on the comments in this video.

Yes perfect, I was thinking I had to get 1/2 or 1/4 inch wood in between them.
Short and sweet. Thank u.
You screwing them together before or after screwing them to the wall??
I screw them together first. Sorry if I didn’t talk about that🙈
what size clamps are those
I’m using these cabinet screws on these exact cabinets and every screw has broken off after the threading despite having a pilot hole. What could I be doing wrong?
Was that wood split where the hinges attached?
Honestly I’d have to go back and look. That was a while ago🤣
Thank you for the video!
Succinct, no fuss, no muss, thank you!
Rub those screws across a bar of soap and they will go in easier, and help keep the wood from splitting.
What happened on the first hole you drilled😉
Wow I needed this tutorial so badly.. now where to buy such long screws 🤔
So no need for wood between the two cabinets? Also no screws in the back of the cabinets. For reference I'm building an island.

Yes construction adhesive works great. Power grab has an instant stick.
Caulk and brad nails
A bit of construction glue and I put 5 small brad nails. You can't even see the brad nails if you are painting them.
🙀
Ohhh 😮😮😮 that was usefulllll thanks alot 👍👍👍
Love Your Video
Hi, great video, can you tell me what kind of drill and size? And also tell me the screw size and type? I’m a beginner and know almost nothing.
🙀
Nice thanks guys
What kind of screw is that
Thankyou...needed this.
What about the gap in the back of the cabinets?
Exactly. Always place a spacer, typically 1/2” ply squares, at the back bottom & back top.
@@victorvek5227 how do you get the bottom one out?
@@msmoomoo53 you take it out the electric connector plug
Thanks that was great
How can you address the gap in the back of the cabinets if they aren't going against a wall? The gap that is created by the front trim being proud.
Measure the gap in the front. Cut shims out of plywood to that size. Place in the back gap and screw cabinets together. If you’re putting up against a wall its not really necessary.
How about attaching 3 base cabinets at an angle
Would counter sink
show us a CORNER cabinet .. those angles...
I thought you don't need to predrill with those GRK fancy screws? At least that's how they market them...
That’s how they’re marketed however if you split that face frame then they are ruined. Predrill with a tapered bit. Don’t drill the entire way though. You want the screw to slide freely through the first cabinet and screw into the second cabinet pulling it right
Also if you drill at hinge mark you’ll never see screws with door back on
True and that’s great advice!
Are you blind? This screw is from am electronic connector plug
We call the screw head Torx not star.
Totally wrong wrong screw no counter sink bad teachings this is how not to do it
