How should I attach a wardrobe to triplex plasterboard?

[JP500]

Hello.

We are going to set up two IKEA wardrobes over two meters high (2x50 in width) and the wall behind is made of drywall that is 36 mm thick (assuming it's triple drywall then?) and the studs are made of metal. What should I use to attach them and where can I get it? I have checked Bauhaus, Hornbach, Specialbeslag and a few others that don't have any expanders for triple drywall in stock.

Bauhaus has a Toggle Anchor that should suffice for 70 millimeter walls but in more detailed info, it says it is suitable for up to 16 mm drywall (if I understand correctly) and their own customer service didn't want to recommend it to me.

So, anyone know what I should use and where I can get it?

Grateful for tips!

Hi.

We are setting up two IKEA wardrobes over two meters high (2x50 in width) and the wall behind consists of plasterboard that is 36 mm thick (I assume it's triple plasterboards then?) and the studs are made of metal. What should I use to fasten them and where can I get it? I've checked Bauhaus, Hornbach, Specialbeslag, and a few others that don't have any expanders for triple plasterboard in stock.

Bauhaus has a Toggle Anchor that should suffice for 70-millimeter walls but in more detailed info it says it's only good for maximum 16 mm plasterboard (if I understand it correctly) and their own customer service did not want to recommend it to me.

So, does anyone know what I should use and where I can get it?

Oh yes, they exist. https://www.bygghemma.se/hus-och-by...4xYHSvIAgXMpePI_1rRSYdjbe48fa_rxoCx-cQAvD_BwE

Try screwing in a screw. It could be 2 layers of drywall + 1 layer of OSB, for example. In that case, you can screw the wardrobe directly into the OSB.

Yes, sorry, I was too quick and careless when I wrote the post. I have found slightly larger packs with trippelmolly, including the one at Bygghemma. But on one hand, they are unnecessarily large and expensive packages, and on the other hand, I have only found them in online stores where there will be a few days' delivery time. My hope is to be able to get them in a store (in Gothenburg).

I am also surprised that none of the major hardware stores I called had them, or could offer another solution?

But is it a box for several hundred kronor that I can get delivered to me next week then?

Essve has them too.

Bluntly, the mounting should just prevent the wardrobes from tipping. So a couple of Molly bolts at the top are sufficient, but regular plugs work too if you use a few extra.

Plaster anchors might work https://www.biltema.se/bygg/fastele...JGvZ4cElW96_Oq60XUoXPoHhnm5dRImxoCJw4QAvD_BwE

A type of anchor screw or similar, I honestly think, is enough to keep the wardrobes from toppling over if someone should decide to climb on them.

Put screws in the metal studs so you don't have to think about all the expanders and anchors.
