Thanks for the replies and tips. By the way, the thing about these Platsa cabinets is that they're really hollow so you can only really fasten them using the specific anchor points and hardware. Now that you mention the batten, I realise I was probably going overkill. It may be something to do...

I'm in the middle of fitting out one of my walls (almost end to end, top to bottom) with IKE Plasta cupboards and have come into a bit of an issue in the first column of cupboards. My house is a Victorian terraced house and the render/plaster on the walls is very crumbly (and maybe even the...
