It's a reasonable but not infallible assumption that the provided
anchors are sufficient to support the weight of the item with which they
were supplied -- unless the anchors were intended for use in a brick or
block wall, in which case you probably need to substitute anchors
intended for use in sheetrock.

But if you can locate the studs to which the sheetrock is attached, you
can use the screws without the plastic anchors.

I have a wall cabinet for my bathroom that came with 6 plastic anchors.
But the thing weighs like 40 lbs. Are anchors in sheetrock going to be
able to support it?
