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.

I will take a look at both of them at Ikea and once I’ve made a decision, I’ll let you know.
Best regards

I used these on the bottom drawers because our cat otherwise opens them ☺.
However, you will need to push the last few centimeters (inches), since the soft-close function only works up to the push-to-open device, which then needs to be reset.
