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: Can anything get in the way of kitchen toppers like extra cabinets?

• <div><p>Before making any big plans, climb up a step ladder and closely examine the top of your cabinets. You&rsquo;ll get to see what sort of clean-up work needs to be done, but you can also check for any unexpected obstacles. Sometimes this space holds electrical boxes, wiring, or even plumbing components. Those will affect plans to install a new layer of cabinets or shelves.</p></div>

Q: Can I use drywall anchors to hang a medicine cabinet?

• <div><p>No. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-use-drywall-anchors.htm">Drywall anchors</a> aren&rsquo;t a good choice for hanging a cabinet because the opening and closing of the cabinet door can cause things to shift, the weight of a mirror is more than most drywall anchors can accommodate, and adding the weight of items stored in the cabinet will make this an even more precarious option. Using the correct mounting bracket for the cabinet you choose is the best way to hang a medicine cabinet.</p></div>
