  • I second the UX6 fischer wall plug. They are expensive but they work in any type of wall, including plasterboard.

    Great! Thank you very much. I found a very similar screw in my garage and I believe is a masonry screw. The screw is 5mm thick and 50mm long.
    I will try and use that and hope it will withstand the weight :).


    I have drill bits and other required tools so I am okay with those.
