To all,
Saw this on "This Old House", they mounted upper cabinets by screwing through the top and bottom recess (the 0.75 inch recess at the top and bottom of the cabinet). Just wanted to know if anyone has done this and whether it's a good idea? I assume if you pre-drill you won't split the wood. I have purchased the GRK #8 2.75" screws so I'd get at least 1.5" inch worth of travel into the stud so I'd think they'd have the holding power there. I like the idea of not having any screws showing in the cabinet (they're solid back with no visible nailer).
Appreciate any feedback,
Bob H
