How to Install an ELFA Pantry on a Wall

I wanted more pantry storage so I added the ELFA wall & door system to my garage wall just outside my laundry room door. The baskets are shallow so you can use them almost anywhere (even behind a door) and they're great for keeping things like canned goods, extra foil, baggies, coffee, dry goods, and any other kitchen overflow. Love 'em!

Neat bit of kit! Going to see if it's available here in the UK - would be very useful in the glory hole.I'm not much of a DIYer though - if it hadn't been dry wall but wood stud what would you have done differently? (And how can you tell the difference?)

@NormyPie If you drill your tiny pilot hole & find you've hit a wooden stud instead of drywall then you simply use a wood screw by itself in that hole, instead of using a screw and anchor. Even if you're not a DIYer, this stuff really IS easy to install. Once you get the track on the wall, standards simply slide on, then shelves & baskets snap in and are completely adjustable. I use ELFA all over my house & love it! (Google ELFA UK)
