Cabinet Connecting Screws
The method used to fasten cabinet boxes together depends largely upon the type of cabinets used.
Face frames are generally joined by attaching the stiles together using #8 flat-head steel screws. The screw should penetrate a minimum of 1" into the second stile. The hole may be plugged for a finished appearance. A Face Frame Clamp simplifies attaching face-frame cabinets by drawing the cabinets together, and at the same time, draws the front stiles flush. Once the faces are flush and tight, simply predrill the pilot hole (7/64" to 1/8"), flip the drill guide out of the way and drive the screw tight while the cabinets remain clamped in position.
European cabinet boxes are joined with panel connecting screws, which fit through predrilled 32mm system shelf pin holes on the inside of adjoining cabinets. Once the hole for attachment is selected, simply drill through with an 8mm bit, align the boxes and slip the connectors in place.
