What screws or screws and anchor combination would be best to hold a Larger Whiteboard Multi Planner

[CuriousInRenos]

I've bought a Large Whiteboard Multi Planner to use for TAFE and other schooling, its approx. 2-5 kgs based on estimated hand weight when carrying.

What would be best to use to hang it up, as I tried using command strips but that didn't work and fell down after 7-8 hours but I need something to hold it up permanently or until I need to take it down.

The left side is able to be mounted into a wall stud but the right side is just shy of reaching another stud and having 1 stud in the middle. 

On the left and ride hand side of the planner is a D-Ring Triangle Hook to hang up the planner.

The hang-up instructions specifically state to use screws and not a picture wire. I originally used the command strip hooks because I didn't want to screw into the walls.

Any suggestions on what I can use to hang it up?

Hello @CuriousInRenos 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your whiteboard.

I suggest using Zenith 6 / 15kg Brass Plated SureHook Picture Hanger - 3 Pack. These are rated for 6kg when used on plasterboard. You can go for the sets with heavier ratings, but I believe these will do nicely even if you write on the board daily. The best part is that they only create small pin holes as large as small nails which are easy to fix with Spak filler. 

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @CuriousInRenos,

I worked in the TAFE sector for 33 years and I agree with @EricL's suggestion to use those picture hooks.

Cheers
