My husband is hanging a cabinet in our 1/2 bath for extra storage. He just text me and said that it wont hang and he thinks that it is because of the water panel in the garage and that the home builders must have protected it with metal. I really cant find another spot that would be decent enough to hang the cabinet. Is there any way to still hang it in that spot?|||Is it possible they used steel studs in that wall and that's why he is hitting metal when he tries to drill? It is tough to diagnose these issues as there are so many strange things you run into. He might be able to cut a small hole in the sheetrock (since the cabinet will cover it) and look what is behind there (in case he is drilling into the main gas pipe, electrical conduit, etc).|||Use a 5/16 '' drill bit to drill the holes needed to mount the cabinet. Then use "butterfly bolts" to secure the cabinet to the wall. Home Depot will know what they are.
