Because a "drywall stud" is another word for a light-duty anchor for mounting light objects to drywall with screws, when you can't or don't want to center the screw on the wooden studs behind it. Look here: finehomebuilding.com/how-to/articles/…. The images are of the wood "skeleton" of studs and plates behind your drywall. The vertical timbers are "studs". Excuse my frankness, but if you do not know what I am talking about when I say "stud" in terms of home maintenance, then mounting cabinets is not a DIY job for you. Pay a pro. | |

I never blinking hung a cupbaord on a drywall.. fix your answer then ill remove -1 - your answer is weak mate. | |
| Jul 15, 2011 at 14:36 | comment | added | KeithS | @ppumkin: Seriously? You would use a toggle bolt (butterfly anchor) to hold hundreds of pounds of cabinet and contents off of the drywall layer? No. You attach the cabinet to the vertical studs BEHIND the drywall, which are designed to support hundreds of pounds of load (thousands actually, but that load is the weight of the house on top of the wall, not what's hanging off the side of it). Drywall maxes out at about 50 pounds. Try hanging a cabinet from toggle bolts next time and let me know how it turns out. Now please remove your downvote. | |

Or a registered animal retained for breeding (but please don't hang your cabinets on this type of stud). | |
| Jul 15, 2011 at 11:55 | comment | added | Piotr Kula | studs? like in screws? i dont think thats good. what about butterfly screws? surely thats the better option as it holds on to a larger area of the drywall? i think you should improove your answer please.. | |
| Jul 15, 2011 at 11:44 | comment | added | aphoria | @ppumkin The point is that you shouldn't hang cabinets from drywall...they need to be attached to studs. | |
