If you ever buy a wardrobe from IKEA they are all supplied with square silver plates with keyholes - designed to help secure the furniture to the wall.

I used these to fix my plastic cover in place of the expensive genuine options.

Worked like a charm.

There is a brass plate known as a keyhole plate, used by picture framers on the back of frames for this very job. Never thought about them before

and they shouldn't rust, just reshape slightly with a file, available in several sizes. Picture from fleabay

Them's the fellas.

You will have to grind down one edge though because they are too wide as supplied by IKEA, the centreline of the holes in the plastic cover is narrower than the centreline of the brackets.

Suggest they make them thiner, everybody a winner

3-1/2 quid a set (each) is a tad too pricey?. For me.
