What do the things weigh?
In the ceiling. Molly plug for single drywall, as large as possible.
On the wall, it depends on the thickness of the bracket, but a 5x40 rounded wood screw should work well, alternatively, something longer if it's a thicker bracket.

I would probably have preferred a metal expander designed for double boards.
So that the chipboard can also take the load.

Sure, if it’s not heavy stuff. But it also depends on how many fixings there will be.H Husköpare said:
It actually needs to hang from the ceiling.
Use a standard screw that is long enough to go all the way through and grip well into the chipboard.
Diameter approximately 5 mm.
He only has single plasterboard in the ceiling. Hence molly for single plasterboard. On the wall, of course, you would use a wood screw if you have particleboard behind.KnockOnWood said:
