You might have to look in the ceiling. Most are on 24″ centers. The stud finders are somewhat accurate. S1lent Greetings,

Only very narrow cabinets can completely miss a stud. When that happens attach it to the adjoining cabinet which is attached to the studs. Actually, most studs will be on 16″ center.

You need to hit the studs. All the cabinets get screwed together, so it don’t matter if the screws going in to the studs are not centered on the cabinets. You need to hit the studs.

Use a stud finder and place a mark on each edge of the stud. Do this at the top of the cabinet and also at the lower edge. Draw pencil lines between the high and low marks for each stud. Don’t worry, they will not show. Start in a corner and measure to the center of the first stud. transfer this measurement to the back of the cabinet. Mark a location for a screw at the top and bottom of the cabinet. Drill a hole that the screw will fit through in the two places in the cabinet. Place cabinet on wall and insert screw. Check with a level and insert second screw. It doesn’t matter where the screw is. Left, center, or right as long as you hit a stud. Now measure to the next stud for the next cabinet. If you can get two studs per cabinet, use both of them. Don’t forget to allow that the face frame of the cabinet is not the same measurement as the back of the cabinet. You will have to compensate for the difference on every cabinet. Side drill and screw the face frames together and you are done. Not a hard job but takes a little thinking and planing before you screw up. Before you even try to mount a cabinet, find all of the wall studs.

Make a pencil mark slightly below the bottom of the cabinet’s. This will insure you hit the studs. They don’t need to be in the center of the cabinet and it was it would be would pure luck.
