Interset fixings
Discussion
Does anyone have any tips on where to get interset fixings/hollow wall anchors for thinner plasterboard?
Am putting some shelving up but it's not going tight enough to the wall. I think the hollow wall fixings I have aren't suitable for the board thickness I'm dealing with (fixings note 8-15mm boards and I suspect mine might be a mere 5mm thick).
Have done some Googling and found that Rawlplug do an M4x32 fastener that might work. But cannot find anywhere that stocks them.
Thanks

Use spring toggles, loads here, or try and pick up on a stud.

Are you sure the wall is plasterboard? 5mm sounds very thin, would not want to put too much weight on that.
