What should I use to hang bathroom cabinet?

[Homervanderjazz]

Hi,

Am installing a bathroom cabinet and was thinking of using Gripit or Bullfix type fixings. The main downside being the size of hole required for both.

Would something like the Fischer UX6 be able to support a bathroom cabinet?

Size of cabinet is as follows- 83x16x98 cm.

The wall is insulated plasterboard. No brick or breeze block behind it.

Thanks

standard self tapping plasterboard fixings will do it.

To be on the safe side you could use hollow wall anchors, they tighten up against the back of the plasterboard and don’t come loose

I've used these very successfully in the past:

Hi, I have located studs behind it. Think I will be able to use one of the studs and then use a couple plasterboard fixings for the other side.

The situation has become a lot more complicated, having built the cabinet I have found it only has 2 fixing points which are 15mm away from the wall. One of the fixing points can be positioned next to a stud to allow a secure fixing. However, I can’t use a normal woodscrew as it needs a pan/bolt head to allow the cabinet to slot over it. I will likely need a coach screw.

Any recommendations on which type of coach screw would be best? Would 6x50mm be sufficient?

Put cupboard against the wall. Mark outside edges and fixing points with a pencil

Cut a square x2 within the outer edges, and below fixing points
big enough to then slide some baton on Ply behind spanning the square from top to bottom and behind the fixing hole.

The baton/Ply then acts in two ways.
1 so you can screw the square ️ you cut out
2 something solid so your cupboard will be held tight.

Once cupboard is up you will see no cuts
