Dear all, I haven’t found any answers through searching online or in the forum, so I’m asking you.
In my kitchen, I plan to install only two wall cabinets on one wall and one cabinet (all Metod) on the other wall. Now my question is—what kind of saw should I use to cut the wall rail, and which screws and wall plugs should I use? I have a 60 x 60 cm (24 x 24 inches) wall cabinet and a 140 x 40 cm (55 x 16 inches) horizontal cabinet that will be placed directly next to each other. I’ll need the remaining part of the wall rail for the other wall. I have UX 8x50 R universal wall plugs and 5x70 mm (5x2.75 inch) screws. These should be sufficient and support quite some weight, right? Would it be better to fix them at 20 cm (8 inches) intervals, or is every 25 cm (10 inches) enough? The wall is really difficult to drill into because it’s uneven and requires deep holes, so every hole I avoid is a relief :/ Would it be manageable to do this alone, or should I get help to install it?
Thanks in advance for your tips and advice.

they probably assume a different type of fastening inside the cabinet.
You could use Fischer wall plugs.

It took a while, but I wanted to sincerely thank you for your support.
My "Floating Sideboard" is now mounted, and I am very satisfied with it:

easy-zicke26 Feb 2017 14:30...I can tell, the professional is watching....
It is actually a bit "unfortunate" – I’m only accessing it from the side... but I didn’t want any "proper" handles.
There used to be very discreet ones – just stainless steel with a minimal grip – they were placed on the edges, but I can no longer find those...
On my next visit to IDEA, I’ll take a look at TOSTERUP or BERGHALLA... to see if they are "discreet enough" for me... otherwise, it will stay as it is for now.
Best regards

BLANKETT is also minimal.
