Product Information

I think with it being ‘only’ 500mm high, I’d be tempted to get long outdoor screws, preferably with a hex head and then use regular wall plugs as deep as I could get into the masonry. Drill holes very slowly and carefully (SDS etc)and blow out the dust (seems worse on vertical holes as the bit doesn’t clear as well as horizontal holes). Don’t worry too much about hitting mortar, obviously if it’s three out of four holes maybe! As long as it’s only the odd one, it should still hold well. Any really bad holes you could resin fill maybe and push the screw into it (seen this done with outdoor ‘no-nails’ type stuff in a pinch, he left the screw a couple of turns proud and nipped it up after 24hrs… big dodgy but what can you do sometimes!). When choosing a drill bit for your wall plugs, it’s important to select the correct size. It’s usually best to use the drill bit size that’s recommended for the specific wall plug you are using. Here are the most common sizes for different types of wall plugs: Wall Plug If the hole is too big, the wall plug will be loose and could fall out, which could cause damage to the wall.

By understanding the relationship between wall plug colours and drill bit sizes, you ensure that your fixtures remain secure and your walls are undamaged.Once you have selected the proper size drill bit and have determined the right speed to use, you can then begin drilling the hole for the wall plug. Start by drilling a pilot hole in the center of the mark that you made on the wall. This pilot hole should be slightly smaller than the size of the drill bit that you are using. If you can lift it easily, the grey plugs should do, as long as they holes are not too big and the plugs not a sloppy fit. Start by drilling smaller pilot holes then go for the correct size for the plug. Make sure the tip of the screwdriver is sharp so that you don't ruin the slot in the screw. Put a bit of wax or petroleum jelly on the screw and fit the mirror - presumably you're using mirror plates? If the screw goes in very easily or the plugs don't need tapping in with a light hammer, think again as the mirror could fall off squashing tibbles or fido or whoever is asleep underneath it. I saw this happen many years ago, scared us all to death. It’s worth noting that while brown plugs are commonly used for general applications and can support medium-weight fixtures, it’s essential to evaluate the specific weight-bearing requirements of your project.
