    Hi,

    I am looking to fix a heavy wooden, mirrored bathroom cabinet to a tiled hollow plasterboard wall (what was I thinking!). There are no studs in the appropriate place that can be used.

    I have done lots of research on this and the only product I can find that may not be as likely to crack the tiles is http://www.screwfix.com/prods/61529/Fixings/Cavity-Fixings/Fischer-Plasterboard-Fixings-Drill-8mm-Pack-of-50. However, it doesn't say on the website what weight it will take (the cabinet is just under 10kg). Does anyone know if this will support it?

    The alternative is this, http://www.screwfix.com/app/sfd/cat/lrgimg_popup.jsp;jsessionid=EGF0EMFQSFUROCSTHZOCFFY?productId=18266&imageNo=null&ts=17815 but I understand these are much more likely to crack the tiles when the fixing expands.

    Is anyone able to help?

    Just use ordinary Rawlplugs or those fancy Fischer fixings. Toggles are no good on tiles, the heads can't grip. Dead easy.
