Most fridges have nothing but insulation in the sides. Drill away

What's a full 5gal keg weigh? 40lbs? That'll be 160lbs on that fragile glass and plastic. |

Double a 1/2 board up and it will hold a lot of weight. MAHA |

I just keep the co2 tank in the fridge with the keg. I know its not ideal but I never have any problems. Besides everything I read said not to drill through the sides or back of the fridge. Also make sure if it has a freezer on the top mount your taps low enough so you can open it without getting near the handles and accidentally pouring beer.
Edit - we also built a base out of steel to support the weight of the keg. |

I already have a 20lb tank rigged to a high pressure line and a 4 body taprite regulator from my last kegerator. only way to use that tank is to mount it outside |

You are usually ok to drill on the sides, NOT the back. Also dont drill into the freezer section (if yours has one) That is where the coils are on most refrigerators. Over under type at least.
If in doubt look up the service manual / or check youtube for repair of your fridge. It should show where the coils are. I looked closer at your pic. Definitely do not drill through the back. It looks like the coils are in the back wall of the fridge. do a youtube search of your model number, there should be a video out there. |

Good thinking on the youtube, ive searched all over for drawings and repair manuals but didnt think to check there. |
