How to Hang Garage Cabinets

Select the cabinets though some cabinets can be installed directly on the wall studs, some might need additional support through brackets. Refer to the user manual of the cabinet to determine.

Unpack the newly purchased garage cabinet and place it on the floor. Check to confirm you have all the hardware included with the cabinet packaging.

Most garage cabinets are usually installed on the wall with the help of brackets. You must connect these brackets to the wall first. Identify the location where the brackets will be installed. Take the help of a stud finder to locate the studs. Mark their position with the help of a pencil.

Now, place the assembled cabinets in the marked position. Ask someone to assist you during this step. Check to see where you would need to install the brackets. Use a measuring tape and pencil to mark the nail hole points for the brackets on the wall. Place the cabinet back on the floor.

Position the bracket where you had marked the nail holes. Use a level to confirm that it is placed horizontally. Use a drill and screw the brackets onto the wall. Be careful to level and plumb the brackets so the cabinet would fit correctly.

Once the brackets are secured in place, it’s time to install the cabinet. Fix the cabinet over the brackets delicately, ensuring it stays in place. Confirm that the cabinet has been properly aligned before fixing the screws on the base.

After the garage cabinet installation, you can install ​knobs, handles or additional shelves inside. The accessory storage may require additional shelving, especially if the cabinets are of different types, where you may require further adjustment of the shelves or other storage accessories. Space out the shelves evenly inside the cabinets. Use a level to align them correctly before securing them in place​.

After the cabinets are installed, it is time to organize your garage by cleaning it. Ensure each item has its rightful place within the cabinets to avoid clutter in your garage.
