Evening all.

Hoping for some help and guidance.

Have had an IKEA kitchen wall unit for ages that was meant to be going up in a downstairs cupboard/pantry thing that I never got around to. Obviously I have a bit of time on my hands now.

As it was only one cupboard (60cm width) I didn’t buy the Metod rail so will be relying on the old methods of mounting, namely screw/bolt and the metal clip thingy.

Trouble is I have absolutely no idea what would be suitable to use and can’t go browsing B&Q etc now.

The cupboard weighs approximately 15kg and maybe need to factor another 10-15kg for whatever ends up in there.

Had a look on screwfix as they are around corner from work so could click and collect but lost in choice.

Going off the instructions it only indicates to use a flat bottom/pan head type screw/bolt.

The bracket is roughly 10mm thick and the wall it will be hung on is an internal side wall So ‘solid’. Guess that’s probably plaster onto breeze block or similar going of other walls around house though.

Would these do the trick?

Sorry that got a bit wordy! Advice greatly appreciated though.

Edit: it’s this cupboard and will be mounted as from page 13.

Probably ok, will depend on how solid the wall is. I’d probably go for longer screws though. Plus make the holes on the small side and carefully hammer the wall plugs in.

Turbo bolts should do. I personally would use the brick bolts that self screw into a 6mm hole. (Having a senior moment about what they are called) Its only because I have a load in the garage.
If there is a big distance behind the plaster then space it out with some nuts slid onto the bolts.

Pretty sure most of our kitchen wall cupboards are on 8-10mm Rawl plug type fixings (through plaster into blockwork).

The room that makes me anxious is our extension as it’s lined with plasterboard on batten. You have to go through 25mm+ of that to hit block and if you’ve got similar you might think about how to tackle that. I don’t know the answer on that one.

The Fischer Duopower plugs are the best there are. The screws worry me – I haven’t analysed your post but it’s essential that the screw thread is fully engaged within the plug. The long narrow shaft looks like it isn’t. There’s no point having a screw extend beyond the plug. Although putting 2 of those plugs in series into a hole is valid if you know what you’re doing.

Same in the kitchen for us @garagedweller but with pan head screws. Can’t find long ones easily it’s all countersunk and the instructions say not to use.

@BigJohn what would you recommend?
Fischer have similar coach bolts in the complete pack but not sold by Screwfix.

The wall is definitely aerated concrete with plaster on top and looking at Fischer’s data the plugs can take either 20kg per fixing or 60kg depending on the type of block. No way for me to know that though I guess.

Again any help from anyone appreciated.

Edit: I imagine that’s a generic picture for the bolts John and the unthreaded shaft section is smaller on the smaller length versions. Could be wrong of course.
