I bought new kitchen cabinets to install myself. Using a stud finder i was able to locate only 2 studs in one wall. They are 24 in. apart. Short of replacing the whole wall are there any suggestions for hanging the cabinets.

Hello,
I'm sure you have more than two studs in your wall. I've never had much luck with stud finders, I would suggest you measure off a known stud and drill small holes to find your other studs. They should be 16" apart, but depending on how old your house is, this may or may not be the case.
Good Luck!
