First step in hanging Ikea cabinets is to create a level line and screw in their sektion rails to the wall to hang the cabinets off of. This took some time to properly find the studs in the walls as using a stud finder in walls that have foil backed insulation doesn't work. I was worried too, that one screw every 16 inches wasn't enough to hold up massive cabinets (and their eventual contents) but was given a good tip on youtube to just add an additional screw directly under the rail as well. This would ensure two screws every 16 inches would keep everything solid.

| Finished panel and door in place. |
 |
| Drilled a small hole to run the cables for the inside cabinet lights. |
