Equivalent anchor compound in drywall

[Dowser4711]

I've got some insight into Fischer after having been a product manager there.

Well, you may have been, but that still doesn't mean that a disc without anything behind it is included in the examples...

But sure, if you say so, then anyone who wants can go ahead and test it.

 

[Dowser4711]

Absolutely. It's fine if you just have a sufficiently large piece of wood for support. Plasterboard is strong in that direction. It's similar to the concept of a molly bolt, which increases the contact area against the plasterboard. The piece of wood has a much larger area than the molly bolt.

If it was a matter of mounting a TV on the wall, I would definitely think it was a reasonable solution in the absence of expansion plugs.

But this is a stair railing that will be subjected to wobbly forces repeatedly, which will quickly cause the drywall screws to work into large holes.

It was just a suggestion, and we obviously have different opinions here. Good luck regardless of the solution.

Even better, of course, as someone already mentioned, to tear down the wall and place a full-length stud, but in my opinion, that's completely unnecessary.

I have concluded that the other side of the wall for this hole is the back of the refrigerator.

Also, they possibly aimed for a stud when the previous owner put up the railing. Because the hole is seriously 1 cm from a stud.

So I'm considering pulling out the refrigerator and opening the wall there.
And if so, use that stud.

Why do you need to open the wall to use the existing regel?

 

[Jacob Gumpert]

Because I need to have the hole at exactly this position.

The railing is attached at three points. And the other two points remain (and are secure).

 

[Kane]

Because I need the hole at exactly this position

Yes, I understand that. But then you should probably put a new rule through the hole from the refrigerator side?

So I'm considering pulling out the refrigerator and opening the wall there.
And if so, use that rule.

 

[Dowser4711]

If it sits right next to the stud, you don't need to place an entire block between two different studs, but you can attach a stud parallel to the existing one, making the hole behind the refrigerator slightly smaller.

But it sounds like everything works out for the best in the end, that's great!

Put a proper nogging to screw into between existing wall studs, I would take a piece 45*195

 

[Jacob Gumpert]

I'll see how it looks once I open it.

We ended up putting regular plaster in the hole along with the plug, let it harden and then secured it tight.
Turned out good enough. It will probably last for at least another 10 years.
