Instructions mark the spot you re going to drill on the brick wall with a sharpie.

Hanging something heavy on brick wall.

1 mark the place on the wall where the mirror will hang using a pencil by holding up the mirror. Specialized drill bits are required to bore through the brick and concrete sleeve anchors are needed to expand inside the brick and act as sturdy durable supports. If you re hanging your picture or mirror on a brick wall you ll want to use a wall anchor. Heavy items such as mirrors or large pictures require extra care if they are to hang securely.

Drill into the brick the same depth that the screw is. 1 5 screw needs a 1 5 drill hole. To install use a masonry drill bit to drill a hole into the mortar where you want a hook to go. As you might imagine solid walls like concrete brick and tile need special techniques to hang objects.

Use adhesive hooks that are labeled heavy duty to ensure they stick well to the brick. Keep the drill straight and don t wiggle it. You ll need to use a powerful drill with masonry drill bits that gradually size up to match the size of the wall plug. Lighter items up to 10 pounds can be installed using a plastic wall plug.

Attaching heavy objects to brick is more difficult than mounting on wood or drywall. Don t hang anything on these hooks that is heavier than they are rated for.
