How to attach wall cabinets to brick?

[Lynn10]

Hello,  I want to install two wall cabinets to a brick wall. I have purchased Ramset zink plated 8 mm x 75 mm hammer in anchors that holds up to 10 kg. Have i chosen the correct anchors and if so what size drill would i need. Thanks again.

Hello @Lynn10 

Are you referring to the Ramset 8 x 75mm Zinc AnkaScrew Masonry Anchor. These anchors need to be screwed into the wall and not hammered in. I suggest using either Ramset 8 x 50mm Blue Wall Plugs Blue - 25 Pack or Ramset 8 x 60mm Countersunk DynaBolt Plus Masonry Anchor. Using six fixings is ideal and should be enough to hold the cabinet and its contents in place. In regards to the type of screw, I suggest using Zenith 10G x 65mm Gold Passivated Countersunk Rib Head Chipboard Screws.

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves and goggles when working on your project.

Here is a handy step-by-step guide: How to install masonry fixings.
