Whats the recommendation for plasterboard fixings for wall units. So many to chose from at the moment

I need to hang some wall units and its like papier mache. Its an 80s build, would have considered cutting out and adding some timbers between the studs but as its internal theres nothing to fix to, centres are at 600mm

any advice is welcome

gripit fixings from toolstation ive used in the past

have you considered a hanging rail?obv ya might have to notch the cabinets a bit on the gables to allow the rail to pass through them all..... or have the cabinets slightly forward and packed off the wall at the bottom....

Forget the plasterboard fixings, use a cabinet rail and screw to the wall studs.

This is a example but there may be cheaper suppliers
