I have a kitchen cabinet that has seperated from the wall. It’s still connected as I cannot remove it but I can move it some. I only see one nail on top center behind the drawer. Anyone know how I can repair this. Thanks

    Easily done. Pick up a few 3″ drywall screws, locate the stud behind the cabinet, and screw one or two of the drywall screws through the cabinet into the stud. It will be solid as a rock.

    I Agree. But It Could Be Stripped.

    NEVER use dry wall screws for anything but drywall. They are brittle and have a tendency to break. The improper use of drywall screws is also illegal in som areas. Use wood screws.
