Default Wall anchors - how much weight


wrote in message
oups.com...
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?

The company I buy my supplies from rates hollow wall fasters on the
following 1-10 scale:
plastic plugs 1-2
drill plugs 3 (those really coarse threaded things)
mollies 7-8
toggles 9-10

And of course a screw into a stud would be about a 15-20.

Based on 20+ years of experience with these products I would agree with the
above.
