Some fixings expand when you screw into them but because plasterboard is soft the hole will widen as the fixing expands and begin to work loose. Take a look at this site which will explain the type of fixing you'll need. These can be bought from any hardware store: http://www.diydoctor.org.uk/projects/fixingtoplasterboard.htm Thanks Hi Louise,

Can you tell me if a screw fitted gate can be screwed into a plasterboard wall? Will the wall be strong enough to hold the fixing?? Many thanks, L Hi,
