ᐅ Recommendation for anchors or similar fasteners for mounting on drywall partitions

Good morning everyone,

Here is the situation:

Bathroom
A drywall partition with metal studs
Double-layered and additionally reinforced with wood/OSB at (hopefully) the crucial points
Tiles are already installed

Now, a wall-mounted vanity cabinet with a washbasin is to be installed here.

Unfortunately, I’m concerned we didn’t consider the weight enough.
My gut feeling says it should hold, but I don’t want to rely on that alone and prefer to be as safe as possible.

According to the installation instructions, the cabinet should be screwed to the wall at a total of 8 points.

I am now looking for the "best" anchors/screws/fastening options suitable for this purpose.

Classic metal hollow wall anchors from F....?
Or are there other alternatives?

Thanks for your advice,
best regards

The anchors will hold it,
this (hopefully) should be clarified in advance.
When purchasing a vanity unit, it comes with installation instructions, and the metal rails in the drywall should align with the mounting points.
Do you have a photo of the metal framework? If not, a stud finder might help.
Otherwise, there is a risk with a wall-mounted vanity unit.

First of all, the wall is quite sturdy. You can add wood or OSB reinforcement if you want, but that's mostly for peace of mind and usually not technically necessary.
Just pick some anchors from F.... or whoever you prefer.
Unless you have a concrete base cabinet.

Uh, isn't the washbasin mounted on threaded rods (pre-wall element or embedded directly into the wall)?

That is unnecessary nonsense.

Was a mounting board made of wood possibly installed? This is commonly done even for the bathroom vanity.

Yes, I understand that it’s better to think this through a bit more in advance. Unfortunately, we missed that this time.

I can’t say whether the fixing points align with the metal rails of the drywall construction, but they definitely hit the wooden reinforcements.

A metal detector would be an option if I knew where to get one. But it can be arranged.

No, it’s a countertop washbasin.

Do the above-mentioned weight values apply per fixing point? Or for the entire wall? Probably per point, right?
I just noticed, kilograms per meter...

As I said, OSB was installed behind the drywall panels for reinforcement.
