Thread: Got any good methods for securing cabinets off walls ?

I'm planing on making up about a dozern small medicine cabinets. Variations on them maybe.

Want a good clean way of securing them to the wall.

The only way I've tried is with a couple of battons. You'd know what I mean.....both beveled on one edge. With one batton built into the cabinet, whilst the other is secured to the wall.....and you just sit the cabinet on top with the two bevels interlocking.

Remember hearing of an improvement on that.....where you deepen the locking with a rebate in the bevel somewhere....bit of thin ply etc.

But the problem I've always had, and no doubt many others, is that most walls nowdays is brittle drywall right ?.......so you've got to find a noggin to hang your cabinet, even the small ones. But often the noggins arn't in the where you want the cabinet to be.

Thinking that maybe there was another way, along this batton idea that allows you to secure through the vertical onto studs.

I'm not just going to drill through the back frame/panel of the cabinet...countersink and plug.....or anything like. Like to up the standard a bit more than that. uno.

Appreciate any ideas. Be some time before I get to do anyway.

Thanks
