Is it possible to hang a heavy cabinet without a wall stud?

• <div><p>It’s best to stick with lightweight cabinets, such as <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-is-mdf.htm">medium-density fiberboard</a>, if you don’t have a wall stud to secure them to. Unless you’re attaching the cabinet to a flat board attached to wall studs, it’s best not to risk it with heavy cabinetry or contents. Solid wood cabinets and heavy dishware should be avoided if you cannot secure the cabinet to a wall stud. Either way, always check the weight on your wall anchors and be sure not to exceed it.</p></div>

Q: Do cabinet handles come in standard sizes?

• <div><p>While a three-inch center-to-center handle is common, there&rsquo;s no guarantee that sizing will be the same for every cabinet. Different types of handles have different sized holes to attach them and there are lots of different cabinet handle widths and styles. You should measure to be sure you know the size of a handle and to avoid surprises.</p></div>

Q: How hard is it to move a kitchen cabinet?

• <div><p>Moving a kitchen cabinet can be extremely tricky for DIYers, especially if it's attached to plumbing, electrical outlets, or walls. The project requires meticulous planning, the right tools, and some muscle, not to mention a friend or two to help. While experienced do-it-yourselfers can manage it, hiring a pro is often safer to avoid damaging cabinets, countertops, or surrounding fixtures. </p></div>

Q: What type of paint is best for painting cabinets?

• <div><p>There are a few different <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-paint-explained.htm">types of paints</a> that you can use on cabinets&mdash;latex, acrylic, and oil-based. Most cabinet painters choose latex, but acrylic paints are also a great choice. In addition to the type of paint, you also need to select a finish. Matte finishes tend to be less durable, whereas semi-gloss or high-gloss options are better for highly-used cabinets. </p><p>It&rsquo;s important to note that regular wall paint does not adhere to cabinets correctly&mdash;you&rsquo;ll need cabinet-specific paint. </p></div>

Q: How do I protect my kitchen cabinets from water damage?

• <div><p>Apply a sealant to your cabinets to repel water and moisture. This will help prevent further water damage from developing, such as mold and rotting wood. Lacquer, polyurethane, and varnish are commonly used sealants with waterproofing abilities. Brush them onto your cabinets and follow the manufacturer's instructions on drying time, which can take up to several hours.</p></div>
