You should mark the studs in the wall where you plan to mount the cabinets.Use a commercially available stud finder or tap the wall with a hammer and listen for a hollow sound that indicates the location of a stud.Studs in residential construction are usually 16 inches apart from center to center so you can measure the location of additional studs after locating the first one.
To hang the cabinet units on the wall, cut the suspension rail to the cumulative length.Ikea cabinets have suspension rails in 80 inch lengths.If extra length is required, additional suspension rails may be mounted on the wall.
Measure the height of the rail.The marks should correspond to the desired height of the cabinet's top edge because the rail runs along it.
An assistant should hold the rail at the marks.To verify the level of the suspension rail, use a level.The rail mounting holes should be marked.
