What happens here

Once the face frame is assembled, apply a continuous bead of wood glue along the top edges of the cabinet box where the face frame will sit. Carefully align and place the assembled face frame onto the cabinet box, ensuring it is flush and properly positioned. Then, use a cordless drill to drive appropriate wood screws from the inside of the cabinet box into the back of the face frame, providing a strong and lasting connection. This step integrates the decorative and structural face frame with the main cabinet structure.

Goal: Securely fasten the assembled face frame to the front of a pre-built cabinet box using wood glue and screws.
