Tips and Hacks: A Great Tip for Using Metal Anchors with Hollow Brick Walls

Description:

Having trouble mounting heavy objects on hollow brick walls? Don’t worry — in this short video, we share a must-know tip that will save your time, tools, and wall!

Metal anchors are a strong, secure choice — but using them correctly in hollow bricks requires a specific technique. In this video, learn how to:

Choose the right type of metal anchor (toggle bolt, sleeve anchor, or hollow wall anchor)

Drill into hollow bricks without cracking them

Secure heavy fixtures like shelves, TVs, or frames

Apply a bonus epoxy hack for stronger hold and long-term safety


Whether you’re a DIY beginner or a professional, this is a practical solution you can use today!


Why This Works:
Hollow bricks aren’t solid throughout — they contain gaps that can weaken anchor grip. But with the right type of expanding metal anchor and proper installation, you can create a reliable, long-lasting hold.


Tools & Materials Needed:

Power drill with masonry bit

Metal toggle/sleeve anchors

Screwdriver or wrench

Construction epoxy or chemical adhesive (optional)

Measuring tape

Wall plug (if needed)



Bonus Hack:
Use construction epoxy inside the drilled hole before inserting the anchor. It fills the voids and gives extra grip — especially useful for older or more fragile bricks.



Safety Tips:

Always wear protective gear while drilling.

Check for electrical/plumbing lines before drilling.

Use a stud finder or depth gauge if needed.

Don’t overtighten bolts — you could crack the brick!
