Metal stud attach
The reply from Zass38 is very adequate. What I did was locate the metal studs with my stud finder. Then I used a small diameter drill [1/16 inch] in my hand with a hammer and located the stud exactly by driving the drill the through the sheet rock until I knew the exact vertical location. Mark the center and using the same drill put a pilot hole in metal stud. I used regular dry wall screws right through that hole and it worked very well. Also the board on the bottom for vertical load is essential.
