Home Improvement > Kitchen > How to Install New Kitchen Cabinets

Learn how to install new kitchen cabinets using purchased cabinet kits.

Arrange the individual cabinets that will join to make a wall unit, setting them face up on a flat surface. Our first unit comprises three cabinets. Confirm that the cabinet faces are flush with each other. If necessary, use a temporary shim (or a handy putty knife) beneath the low cabinet to raise it and make the edges flush with the adjacent modules while you join them. Easier to perform on the floor than the wall, this process also ensures that the cabinet doors are flush.
