Needs metal studs or proper toggles rated for weight. We test the wall first.
3. Door lock that won't turn
Often a worn cylinder or misaligned strike plate. Quick fix.

Wrong-size bracket spacing or wall material. We re-anchor.

Single nail in drywall. We replace with proper hangers rated for weight.
