Without seeing your cupboard I can't comment on that. I have my stash in one of the rolling plastic cupboard from Walmart. It is about 2 feet wide and the drawers are about 8 inches deep. I have the 3 drawers full of my larger pieces on mini bolts. As for putting nails in the cupboards or walls, I would use the 3M command hooks instead. That way you don't damage anything and you can move them if necessary.
