Now, I am sure we all know what the eventual outcome of this will be. Has anyone ever dealt with this issue before and does anyone have any idea how long wood screws will last (I do not know the size of the screw). The instructions say that other screws are needed, but they do not give any specifications as to what type of screws to use. Any thoughts
Bill,
Kraftmaid is still carried at Lowes.
The picture below is of the proper screws. They have a tapered point on them and as you can see, there are three of them. They came in a plastic bag that was stapled to the cabinets.
I got my cabinets from Builders Square and they sent me two cabinets that were the wrong size. I ended up with two extra cabinets and the mounting screws.
I am sure you can get the proper screws from Lowes.
