LOCATE AND MARK WALL STUDS
Typical wall construction places wall studs on 16" centers. This means that every 16", you
have the center of a 2 x 4 wall stud to support your cabinets.

outside edges on the wall stud to determine its center. Measure over 16" from this point
and repeat the process to be certain that you have contacted the center of the wall stud.
Mark the location. Continue this process to locate all wall studs behind your cabinets.
