Hello
I have a loose shelf in my walkin wardrobe as in pics. I cannot drill a support as nail/screw will hit
the sliding door. What's the best option to fix this ?
Hello @hesamshimi
I suggest using GripIt 25mm Blue Plasterboard Fixing - 4 Pack in combination with Zenith 25mm Stainless Steel Angle Bracket. The general steps will be to position the angle bracket at the bottom and mark the drill holes with a pencil. The Gripit wall mount will only occupy the thickness of the plasterboard and a few millimetres of space inside the wall.
Once you've installed the Gripit wall mount install the angle bracket using the supplied screws.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi @hesamshimi
@EricL Way will work well.
A simple alternative would be to liquid nail a (a contact super strong builders adhesive) a stripe of timber support 40mm tall and 19mm thick by the inside length under your shelf Proping up or tapeing the shelf into place for 12 hours. Also tape new timber support into place as glue will slide a bit when fresh. Or screw the support timber to the wall with 30mm screws just until glue sets.
The piece of timber glued to the wall will hold well for 10KG plus a bit. but that shelf cant hold a lot of weight. Try moving the heavy stuff to the other end where the shelf maybe screwed to a stud.
