Can anyone advise which are the best types of fixings to use for permanently fixing things to a timber stud walls faced with plasterboard and skim. I need to fix a handrail to the side of our stairs and i'm not sure which fixings to use, i've seen two types - 'spring toggles' and a 'plastic' wall plug designed for use on plaster board walls. I'm not sure which of these would be best, or if there is something else which are better than both?
I will be trying to fix into the timber studs if I can, but the positions of the handrails are fixed so I cannot guarantee there being a stud where I need to screw the brackets to the wall?
