How do you hang cabinets on metal studs -- need to install base and wall cabinets in an office that has metal stud walls and a drop ceiling?
The correct way is to install a 2x 6 backer plate between the studs where the cabinets are to be hung. If there is not one there you can tear out the drywall and install one. However the base cabinets can be attached using metal drywall screws or lag bolts. Since the countertop will put weight on these they really wont go anywhere, the wall cabinets are the main concern. you can try to use metal stud screws and lag bolts on them as well.

Installing Base Cabinets?
Base Cabinets InstallationBase cabinets in the home serve a variety of purposes. You can store food, cookware, and dishes in them. You can make the cabinets basically any size that you want, and you can also install them yourself. The first thing you want to do is tear out the old cabinets. Be sure that everything is out of the cabinets before you take the old ones out. Measure the width and length of the cabinet space so that you can purchase the correct size of the new cabinets. You can then go to a hardware store and get the type of wood that you would like to use on your cabinets. The thicker the wood, the more expensive it may be, but the longer it will last.When you get the wood home, cut the wood in the shape you need for it to fit underneath the counter. If you are replacing the entire counter as well as the cabinet, you need to measure this area as well. Use sturdy joints in the corners of the cabinets so you can easily open and close the doors. If you want to install shelves in the cabinets, install them before you place the door on.
