It happens. I know there is likely nothing to worry about it this wall and I make sure by screws only go into the studs about 1.25" deep in case something is there.
If there is a gap behind the cabinet, you need a shim before you drive the screw in. Keeps things from warping or pulling the back off the cabinet so you can get the screw tight. You may need shims in other places that don't get screws like the cabinet ends to get them plumb.
Shouldn't the pilot holes be slightly THINNER than the screws? If the drill bit is thicker than the screw, the screw will not have anything to grab and will fall out.
You want the screw to spin freely in the back of the cabinet so it will get pulled tight to the wall. If you don't, you may get a gap behind the cabinet. It is more of a relief hole drilled into the cabinet. Most wood screws have this built in by not having threads all the way to the screw head. If you are mounting the cabinet on wood framing, you don't need a pilot hole in the wall unless you are using some big lag bolts. If you are mounting on concrete, brick, heavy gauge steel studs, then yes, you would drill a smaller diameter pilot hole in the wall and a relief hole, around the same size of the screw, in the back of the cabinet.
Were you concerned about possibly drilling into electrical wiring or water piping?

Hi! Do you have a video of what you did for the 1" ends?
I'm sorry, I never made a video of it. I will have to make a video on fillers soon
For the shims, you have to place them along the stud so you can screw into them or just anywhere you need them and the pressure keeps them in place?

Nice left-handed drilling ;)
TY. Funny 10:00!
Thank you. I love real life scenarios: "Try not to turn the f!@#$@# dryer on"
That was hilarious
Looks good and works great
Thanks 👍
Good video...well done
Thanks!
Where did you get the cabinets at?
I built them. There is another video showing how they were made.

Hey, I got them at a cabinet supply company but they are available on line. Little hand by Fast Cap
