Yeah, Detolf units normally come with anchors.
I've never put any on them; neither when they were stock-Detolfs, nor after I modded them to be doubles. The doors are slightly heavy, but I've never had an issue with the weight or balance of the units.
AND, as a side note, Ikea is using thinner glass panels for the sides when compared to my older units from years ago.

Thanks for the compliments.
I thought about making more and selling, but as of now, my process isn't streamlined nor precise enough. I mean, I already work with a template rather than measuring each time, but the holes aren't drilled through as cleanly as I'd like them to be, and there's always been a little bit of adjustment needed each time while going through the assembly process.
