I have to mount a heavy wooden plaque on a sheetrock wall with metal studs
underneath. The holes in the plaque are predrilled, so the wall anchors have to go where they have to go. What if I drill into a metal stud? If it were a wooden stud, a wood screw would go in place of an anchor, and it would be no problem. So what do I do if I hit metal? With the right kind of fastener, maybe I should Try to hit the metal for extra strength? Thx. -B |
