I would strongly recommend using the wall hanging bar, which means

Yep, the B&Q cabinets come with two ****ing little 2" pieces of that bar
per cabinet, which inevitably need screws where screws don't want to go,
fitting a whole length of bar is much easier.
Despite this there must be 100,000s of cabinets fixed to the walls with
the supplied fixings and very little reported evidence that they are
falling off walls.

I have the loading figures stored somewhere but can't find them. We often fitted bookshelves up on office walls and the biggest no no was the dickheads who insisted on trying to store full boxes of colour leaflets or A4 stationery on them despite being advised that the shelving was not built for that as standard.

In cases were this advise was ignored the cabinets didn't fall off the walls as much as slide down pivoting on any remaining brackets.
