Ceiling anchor for front cabinets
I just finished rebuilding my old TV cabinet to cut it down for a flat screen TV. On the old metal cabinet, there were four screws going up into the ceiling through support tabs on both sides. On my new wood replacement, I started the install process, but any screw that I put through the top of the cabinet into the ceiling for support finds nothing to bite into. I am going back up into the same screw line used by Newmar to begin with...I thought that there would be something substantial there to screw into. At this point, I am stopped cold because the screws into the side shelves will not be enough to hold it up and in place. I feel kinda stupid because I thought that I was going right back into the old install location. I have used 2.5 inch screws so far. Is it possible that I just need longer screws?
