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.

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

@larrybenrus7608 3 жыл бұрын

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.

@charlesvenangojr.3513 Жыл бұрын

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

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.

@waveriderz2687 Жыл бұрын

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

@larrybenrus7608 Жыл бұрын

@@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.

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?

Hi, do you have a video about joining one cabinet on top of the other? Thanks in advance.

What size cabinet screw did you use?

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.

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?

@mikeweckesser4450 3 жыл бұрын

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.

@2MinuteHowTo 3 жыл бұрын

Yes construction adhesive works great. Power grab has an instant stick.

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.

@JustinSmith-yr7xj 9 ай бұрын

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.

@AlexKost-tq6bj Жыл бұрын

I thought you don't need to predrill with those GRK fancy screws? At least that's how they market them...

@marcusjames3035 Жыл бұрын

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
