So I really need help installing a baby gate. At first I just screwed the screws directly into the dry wall but of course the screws quick came loose and pulled out of the wall. So I picked up some toggle bolts, thinking I could drill through the drywall and anchor the bolts in. Well as I started drilling I hit wood behind the dry wall. I tried to drill to the left of the f*** up hole, at this point I was going to pound in some plastic inserts... Well I drilled the first hole, that was fine until I went to drill the second hole below it and I hit some sort of metal! At this point I have totally effed up my wall and don't know what to do! Can somebody explain how this part of the wall is constructed or give some advice for how I can fix this?
I attached a photo (sorry it is side ways). The top left hole I managed to get the plastic insert in. The top right hole was the one I tried to drill for the toggle bolt but hit wood instead of hollow drywall. The bottom left hole is the one I drilled and hit metal!!
