I have bought DryLine Pro's for hanging one in the mid floor on suite bathroo as it has dab and dot plasterboard wall on breeze block, but the main bathroom does not have a dab and dot wall which is easy for access to the cabinet( espeacialy not very accessible for my 74 year old nan who has a heart condition) so the only place that it can be put on is the stud wall above the sink but I not sure how I can attach it to it and wether it cqn even cope with the weight of it plus whatever goes in it. I know the dryline are absolutly no good for this and I don't think these are any good

Thanks in advance
If you must hang a small cabinet on a plasterboard wall, then these
http://www.toolstation.com/shop/p36548hollow wall anchors are probably the most readily available satisfactory fittings -- just be sure you get the sort that have FOUR wings rather than two. I've found they've worked when most others have failed lamentably. Particularly good for lath and plaster walls, as well, providing you get them long enough.
However, for anything bigger than a very small cabinet, best by far to mount a piece of ply, fixing it firmly to two studs. Depending on the size and construction of the cabinet you may be able simply to mount it on the surface of the plasterboard or otherwise to cut out the plasterboard and sing the ply into the recess. The last thing you want is heavily-laden cabinets descending rapidly to floor level in an unscheduled fashion.
