We recently had cabinets installed in our laundry room. The professional who did this attached them directly to the metal studs and they seem to be holding up fine.

Now I want to do a DIY project by installing cabinets in the garage. While I am comfortable with the notion that the metal studs will hold the cabinets up, I'm not sure if I need to use any special screws. When I was talking with one of the other contractors (one we did not end up using) about the laundry room job he said you can't use the regular self-tapping sheetrock screws on metal studs. He said they use a special kind of screw for metal studs. Has anyone done this (attached wall cabinets to metal studs) and if so, what kind of screws did you use? If they are special, where did you buy them? Thanks.
