I'm about to start construction on some cabinets which will have melamine boxes (typical melamine with the particle board core) and oak face frames. Boxes will be 3/4" and the backs will be 1/4".
First question: What is the best way to attach the face frames to the boxes? Glue? Biscuits and glue? Pocket screws?
Second question: These are hanging cabinets. What is the best way to reinforce where I will be hanging them? I'm thinking a couple 1/2" plywood blocks behind the cabinet back with screws through the sides of the cabinet? Hanging is going to be fun as the wall they mount to is plaster over solid brick so I'll probably end up using Tapcons. The go to the ceiling so a french cleat is not an option.
Boxes will be assembled with Confirmat screws.
