Delighted to have you join our wonderful Workshop community, @haupties, welcome. 

Thanks for your question. It might be helpful if you could take and post photos of the kitchen wall unit and the wall on which you're trying to secure it to. That'll help our resident Bunnings D.I.Y. experts on the site to get a better idea of what you're working with, enabling them to provide more helpful suggestions. Let me know if you need a hand uploading images on the site.

Hello @haupties 

My apologies for the late reply. I propose using the Ramset 8 x 50mm Blue Wall Plugs Blue - 25 Pack or Ramset 8 x 60mm Countersunk DynaBolt Plus Masonry Anchor. Using six fixings is ideal and should be enough to hold the cabinet and its  contents in it.

In regards to the type of screw, I suggest using Zenith 10G x 65mm Gold Passivated Countersunk Rib Head Chipboard Screws - 50 Pack.

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when working on your project.

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to install masonry fixings. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @haupties definitely follow @EricL steps as this utilises screws that can be removed if required. It also allows for some forgiveness in the case that the cabinet holes don't perfectly line up with the centre of the wall plugs. As long as the screws bite into the nylon plug the fastening will be secure.
