Can I screw straight into plasterboard?

Ordinary wall plugs are not suitable for use with plasterboard as they expand once you screw into them, which will create holes and cause the plasterboard to crumble due to its softer properties. It is essential that you use the correct fixing such as self-drill zinc alloy or nylon plasterboard fixings.
