How to attach Ikea wardrobe to the wall

Do you know how attach Ikea wardrobe to the wall? Because of their height, for safety reasons wardrobes and all other tall and bulky furniture should be arttached to the wall. To prevent accidents, anchoring your furniture is one of the most fundamental steps you can take in rendering your home a little safer.
Anchoring furniture is actually pretty straightforward, it usually come equipped with wall-mounting hardware to keep them from tipping over
In my video I attached Ikea Pax wardrobe to the plasterboard wall but this method will also work for other types of furniture. Ikea provides the metal plate, but not the fixings.
I used:
Cavity Wall Anchor Metal M5 x 52mm Plasterboard Drywall Fixing:
amzn.to/3zHGwZE
amzn.to/3OaPToM
Cavity Wall Anchor Metal M5 x 65mm Plasterboard Drywall Fixing (only screw):
amzn.to/3xvv7cG
amzn.to/3Ok8gr4
NOTE: Different wall material requires different types of fixing devices so double check what is suitable for the walls in your home.

I removed a part of the skirting board and screwed the wardrobe directly to the wall. This has the benefits that there is no dirt behind the wardrobe. It's the best solution in my opinion.

This video saved my marriage 😅

[@k-nemo]

Great :)

[@scotthuntsh]

Great advice and thank you, all Pax units secured with skirtings on.

[@k-nemo]

Thanks for watching.

[@mijalic1]

Excellent work. Thank you for your time and effort to make this video and share it with us. Greetings from Croatia.

[@k-nemo]

You are welcome!

[@Maggioretom]

Thank you very much! Clear and useful! 🙏

[@k-nemo]

Thanks.

[@MeloxTV-iu2ny]

IKEA never provided my with the screws for the wall, are they sold separately

[@lordgains3317]

If your going to go to all that trouble might aswell remove the skirting board and have it flush against the wall

[@k-nemo]

It's easier to add blocks.

[@evyb00]

If renting maybe its not allowed to make such modifications, the blocks provide a good solution 👍🏼

[@pandadoublexl]

Sure if you want to make it more complicated and harder to repair for no reason whatsoever.

[@jakylili]

Thank you! This is amazing

[@momphidog]

This os so clear. Perfect thank you.

[@cdlcx]

What size drill bit did you use for dry wall? Thank you. I purchased the wall anchors you provided. Very helpful video.

[@k-nemo]

I selected the drill bit to match the thickness of the fixing.

[@hayleycooper1425]

Hello - do you know how to remove the white plastic covers that fit over the metal plates? Do they just flick off with a flat screwdriver underneath? Thanks!

[@cam1210]

How do you manoeuvre the spacer into place that is in the corner?

[@Screamer1989]

why did you decide to leave a gap between the wall and the closet instead of removing the plasterboard and positioning it flush?

[@k-nemo]

I didn't want to tear off the skirting board.

[@bhaleekarayaya]

Can nylon washers be used instead of wood piece to fill the gap?

[@k-nemo]

Yes.

[@mahmoudfathy2074]

I wanna know the name of that piece that should up o @2:07

[@norizanmatail5857]

May i know how to remove that white thing you installed at the end, should i pull it upward or downward, i want to remove it to rearrange

[@k-nemo]

White plastic cover? Pry with a screwdriver.

[@Lizwindsor]

Remove baseboards before installing pax.

[@k-nemo]

And then seal the holes in the wall after mounting the baseboards, seal the holes between the floor and the wall. And paint the room.

[@Lizwindsor]

@@k-nemo correct. Do it properly not half-assed

[@anonymousanonymous-tw3wm]

😊

[@k-nemo]

Thanks for watching

[@aprilberry1088]

Hi! Do you have a link to the anchors you are using? Thank you!

[@k-nemo]

I added to the description of the movie.

[@shayanpopalzai7768]

It's not can you tell is

[@darrenmooney8511]

Use the correct tools...you get a tool to pre flate the plasterboard fixings , drawing the whole thing in and securing the fixing in place before even placing the wardrobe

[@Afritunez]

Dry wall?

[@k-nemo]

Yes

[@3abdangry]

which fixings do I need for solid wall please?

[@k-nemo]

Try this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnKXeIppg52onsU#t=1m26s

[@lord_of_the_null_lines3030]

What size cavity anchors are you using here? Cheers.

[@k-nemo]

I used 2 different anchors because one had too short screw, I moved the longer screw to the shorter one.

[@jane-marieharvey4068]

I just tried this and the screws won’t tighten. Any idea why?

[@TheCrackentone]

Just use toggle fixings much stronger
