I live in a new build flat (built in 2007) with hollow walls with what I have been told are metal studs. I want to fix a large, heavy oak framed mirror to the wall but am not sure how to do this. I have been told to locate the studs and then fix a baton but can you screw into metal studs?
Have you had a look at the DIY Doctor Projects section: https://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects.htm We have several projects related to fixcing to walls, what fixings to use and how to locate studs
