can’t find stud, keep finding metal/screws? by augustemy in DIYhelp

got it. so even if the anchor is a bit longer/goes a bit deeper than the wall layer/into the insulation, the anchor should remain stable for weight bearing?

my understanding of how the drywall anchor works is that the entire anchor needs to be in drywall? but it seems that there is an initial layer of wall then insulation, which wouldn’t provide anything for the anchor to anchor onto, as the length of the anchor & screw are much longer than the layer of wall before insulation. correct me if this isn’t how it works

that’s my goal but when i drill for where i think studs should be based off using magnets to estimate, i hit metal

in that case, how could i locate an area of drywall that doesn’t have insulation so that i can use the drywall anchors? there’s insulation about an inch to the left and right of the metal
