Hello everyone,
I have an Ikea kitchen with wall cabinets (60 cm (24 inches) wide and 100 cm (39 inches) high, three units) and a hanging rail, and I’m currently trying to mount the wall cabinets securely to a wall.
The wall is a gypsum wall about 50 mm (2 inches) thick with a cavity behind it. At the hardware store, I was first recommended Fischer DuoPower anchors 8x40 mm, but the employee noticed that they require a drilling depth of 50 mm (2 inches) and are therefore not suitable for this wall.
In terms of length, the size 6 anchors would fit, but they don’t hold much weight.
Which anchors are suitable for this case, or what is the best way to mount the cabinets securely?
The wall is in a DDR prefab panel building. On the other side is the bathroom. According to the building manager, it is gypsum mixed with straw, about 50 mm (2 inches) thick.
Best regards and thanks

Are the holding values per screw!? I think so....Correct. And I believe with a projection of 30-40cm (12-16 inches)H

The wall is about 50mm (2 inches) thick gypsum board with a cavity behind it. In that case, these anchors are probably quite suitable.
