When should floor kitchen cabinets be screwed to the wall if at all?

Should kitchen floor cabinets be screwed to the wall when installing? We just finished installing the wall cabinets. The floor cabinets are level. We have shemed the cabinets. Any suggestions? Do we need to wait until we have our counter tops installed?

    The base cabinets should be screwed to each other first, then screwed to the wall studs to give them some stability. Sometimes they have to be shimmed out from the wall, depending on the cabinets / counter tops.

    You do need to screw them to the studs in the wall. You don’t need to wait for the counter tops.

    Screw them together at the fronts (predrill first) then backs to the wall.

    Yes, screw them to the wall and to each other. You need to start with the corner cabinets. For complete instructions, see http://www.kitchen-design-angel/how-to-install-kitchen-cabinets.html

    you should screw them to the wall now so they wont shift. I recomend using a 3 inch screw for this. The cabinets should have a nailer in the back for this. studs should be spaced 16 inches appart or you can look for electric outlets to find one.
