I got mine in B+Q warehouse. Expensive though, but you probably won't
need many.

Better still, forget screws and rawlplugs and buy hammer in rawlbolts. This
way, you position the unit on the wall, drill a hole through the back
(through a strong section, not hardboard) typically at 10mm and then drill a
10mm hole into the masonry. The plug inserts and is hammered in, with a
final twist with a screwdriver. Drilling through the hole in the unit means
that the masonry hole doesn't wander and is in exactly the correct location.

Far easier than marking on the wall and drilling for rawlplugs, which will
be 5mm away from where you intended, at least with my drilling skills.

Christian.

I think the OP was trying to follow the Ikea instructions too carefully.
Ignore the Ikea reference to flat headed screws, round headed will do as
well. Personally I prefer to use rawlbolts.

Probably - what they mean of course is not countersunk. In a couple of
places I used a countersunk with a washer as I keep in a wide range.
