Hi Folks, Ray's post begs a question I have in relation to drilling into masonry.
While I know that I have to pre-drill a hole when ever I attach anything to a masonry wall, do I have to worry about the type of anchor I'm using when working with different surfaces? For example, I know that in solid concrete, one can use the anchors that look like a hollow spined tube that opens up as the bolt screws in. Would that anchor be appropriate to use in brick work, especially when I think of all the possible hollow spaces in the bricks? I am looking at attaching a gate to my house at the top of a few steps, and one hinge is going into solid concrete foundation, however, the other hinge is going to be going into the brickwork that is the side of my house. Is there a different type of wall anchor I have to use in the brickwork? Any help would be appreciated. Victor Gouveia
