1Could you grab us a couple photos with the cabinet door opened? basically, the four edges on that wall and the side of the cabinet interior opposite that? I don't think hammering it back in will solve the problem for more than a couple weeks if it succeeds... It's really going to depend on how the cabinet is constructed (Hence why I'm asking for photo).Chuck Terry– Chuck Terry2025-12-05 11:25:07 +00:00Commented 2 days ago

Here are some more photos, thanks Chuck! Actually, now that I look more closely, I can see the head of the nail from the inside of the cabinet near the cabinet hinge door, but the weird thing is that from the gap that I’m trying to close (where the cabinet is pulling away from the side trim attached to the dry wall), it looks like the nail is smooth and not like a typical screw? (Even though it looks like a screw head from the inside of the cabinet). See last photo. imgur.com/a/5tK02VdMelody– Melody2025-12-05 14:25:47 +00:00Commented yesterday

No problem! I just added an answer to give you an initial plan of action I couldn't fit in a comment. If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll provide some more details.Chuck Terry– Chuck Terry2025-12-05 14:49:41 +00:00Commented yesterday

1Please take the tour ASAP. You've posted a thank you response as an answer, which isn't appropriate.isherwood– isherwood2025-12-05 15:59:15 +00:00Commented yesterday

As many of us know, they make screws specifically for mounting cabinets, called (usually) "Cabinet Mounting Screws". One feature they have is a broad head, almost like one with a washer built in, which helps prevent the screw from pulling through the wood. They come in various lengths. Oh, and never use drywall screws for fastening cabinets to the wall.SteveSh– SteveSh2025-12-05 22:12:31 +00:00Commented yesterday

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. electrical-panel), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
