How to fixing cabinet to dry wall?

Hello All,

 

While attempting to fix a tall cabinet of height (around 2m) to dry wall, noticed the stud is away from the location where the tall cabinet demands its position.

 

I have purchased wall anchor from Bunnings (https://www.bunnings.com.au/ramset-mini-nylon-anchor-wallmate-50-pack_p2260690).

 

Is it advisable to hook the cabinet with above anchor [ The concern here is the anchor resides on dry wall and not fixed to stud ].

 

In this scenario of the cabinet away from stud, what would be the right fix for securing the cabinet from topping down.

 

Thanks
MM.

Hello @nagumuthu

 

The angle brackets at the store don't have oblong holes in them. However, the technique for mounting the angle brackets is very simple. Place the bracket on the cabinet first and mark the position and hole on the cabinet. Then push the cabinet to the wall and mark the angle brackets position on the wall with a pencil. 

 

Once the positions have been marked attach the angle bracket to the wall first. I then suggest slowly sliding the cabinet in until it is in the correct position. Make sure to double-check the angle and position of the cabinet before you fix the angle bracket to the cabinet itself.   

 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
