Friends, It is a long time since I requested assistance but I have hung a 3 foot wooden gate on a brick wall using those 8mm plastic plugs into which you hammer a threaded screw like pin.
The plugs are now pulling out of the wall and I would like to replace them with expanding bolts or anchors but I keep getting confused over the lenth of bolt required.
The post is 3 inches (I prefer Imperial, my age, you know!), therefore what length of bolt do I need to purchase?
I am expecting to drill out the old holes to 10mm and there is clearance between the gate and the post to accomodate both nuts and a large washer to spread the load.
Regards, Peter.
