Can these cabinets be wall mounted only?

No.
To ensure long-term durability and safety, our cabinets are designed to be supported by steel legs and mounted to the wall.
  • The legs provide primary structural support
  • Wall mounting adds stability and safety
For additional clearance, we offer 6”–8” adjustable legs, which make cleaning easier while maintaining proper support.
Our lifetime warranty requires the legs to remain in place.

What tools do I need?

Installation typically requires standard household tools, including:
  • Drill
  • Power screwdriver
  • Level
  • Measuring tape
  • Stud finder (recommended)
  • Appropriate wall fasteners
Most homeowners already have the tools needed.

What if my floor is uneven?

No problem.
Our cabinets are designed to handle uneven floors using:
  • Adjustable legs for leveling
  • Installation adjustments to align cabinets
You can still achieve a straight, level, professional-looking installation.

What if my walls aren’t straight?

That’s common in garages.
During installation:
  • Cabinets can be adjusted and aligned
  • Minor wall irregularities can be accommodated
You can still achieve a clean, consistent layout.

Do you provide installation instructions?

  • Detailed written instructions

Can I install these cabinets myself?

Yes.
Most customers install the cabinets themselves.
  • Designed for DIY installation
  • Uses standard tools
  • No specialized equipment required
However, this is a full cabinet system, not a lightweight shelving unit—so it does require time, care, and attention to detail.

How difficult is installation?

Installation is manageable for most homeowners, but it does require:
  • Careful leveling
  • Proper alignment
  • Securing cabinets together and to the wall
It’s closer to installing a full kitchen cabinet system than basic shelving.
When done correctly, you get a clean, professional, long-lasting result.

Do I need to mount the cabinets to the wall?

Yes.
Wall mounting is required for:
  • Safety
  • Stability
  • Proper system performance
Even though cabinets sit on legs, wall mounting prevents:
  • Tipping
  • Movement
  • Misalignment over time

How long does installation take?

Installation time depends on:
  • Size of the system
  • Complexity of the layout
A designer can help estimate installation time based on your specific project.

Can I hire someone to install them?

Yes.
You can hire:
  • A contractor
  • A handyman
  • A professional installer
No special or proprietary installation process is required.

What if I make a mistake during installation?

We’re here to help.
If you run into issues:
  • Contact our team
  • We’ll guide you through solutions
You’re not on your own during installation.

Should cabinets be attached to each other?

Yes.
We recommend fastening cabinets together to:
  • Prevent movement
  • Eliminate gaps
  • Create a clean, built-in look
We provide screws for this purpose.

How do I attach cabinets to each other?

Use the provided screws and attach cabinets at the front:
  • One screw at the top front corner
  • One screw at the bottom front corner
This keeps cabinets aligned and secure.

What size hole is needed for euro screws?

Use a:
  • 3/16” drill bit

What type of screws should be used to mount cabinets to the wall?

This depends on your wall type:
For concrete walls:
  • Use Tapcon concrete screws
  • Must penetrate at least 1” into the concrete
For wood studs with drywall:
  • Use washer head or cabinet screws
  • Must penetrate at least 1” into the stud (not including drywall thickness)
Common brands:
  • GRK
  • Spax
  • Hillman
Note: Some garage walls (especially shared walls with the house) may have multiple layers of drywall, so choose screw length accordingly.
