Can you screw the screws into a brick wall?

I suppose you could, but I would silicone caulk it to the wall and cut the tops of screws off and glue them in the holes so it just looks screwed in. I think that would be a lot easier to do.

You can.. but i would used wall anchors to secure the screws once i had driven holes into the brick

Yes. And when the crappy screw they come with snap and/or strip, you're stuck with broken screws sticking out of your wall.

Probably too late to help you in particular, but...Just use plastic wall anchors and then screws to fasten to regular wall. Metal anchors if masonry wall. Increases the load the screws can hold

the plastic things (if im thinking of the right ones) are called anchors in case you are attaching to a part of the wall where there is not a stud. It is best to predrill a small hole and then place the anchor in the hole. Then once you have accomplished that you can screw in the hooks. :-)

dont know because its in the North Shore New England and im in LA, but you can mount it on to brick with a standard masonry anchor, just go to home depot and consult the guy in the hardware aisle you just want to male sure that you make the hole using the correct size drill bit so the anchor has the right amount of compression, now if you dont want to drill holes into your nice brick masonry walls, one thing you can do is use a 3/4 or thicker piece of plywood exactly the size of the bracket back plate and paitn it black or to match the brick wall and mount that to the rows of mortar, then you hang your mount on that, or you could just drill the holes on the mounting plate where you need them i very much doubt that it will compromise the structural integrity of the plate at worst it may void the warranty. as long as you properly fasten the top row of bolts ( do like 4 or 5 bolts) you can do with one on either corner at the bottom hope this helps

yes you can, I did to my brick chimney. I had to get different screws to anchor it though.

To install these into a brick wall, you will need some sort of masonry anchor. I am not familiar with this product, so you may need a washer on the head of the screw (if the head of the screw can fall out of the hole, that's an indicator to use a washer). Type "B000XZBF8S" into the Amazon search box above, and you'll find the appropriate anchors to accomplish this, with the bit included. I'm guessing the original poster has already taken care of it, but hopefully this helps future buyers.

I believe you can, I would make sure to get proper screws and anchors for brick work.

I moounted this on a block wall. The included anchors i believe should be fine for brick. Obviously proper drilling tecnique and not over tightening is imperative. It should attach fine.

Hi! I used two screws and mounted it to brick wall in the mortar. They were #8 1-1/4 pan head concrete screws with anchors.

Yes you could just use some construction adhesive to adhere it to the brick or slip it inside the vent and put a clamp on it. You wouldn't have to screw it into the brick.

The wall screws they give you in the box are a joke...you'll want to put beefier ones in.

Hi Rosemary,I will depend on the mounting surface, If you are mounting it to wood with nails or screws it should not be a problem. If it is to brick if you want the same result as wood you have to make sure the brick nails are as straight and as close to the brick surface as possible. I hope this helps, sorry for the delayed response.

It does not appear the hardware provided would be appropriate for a brick wall. I am sure it can be done. The description for what it can be attached to does not mention brick.

Yes. However you would probably want to use some long screws, at least 3 inches, and drill into the wall studs and/or use anchors.

I don't see why not; but, the only thing I'd be certain of is that the brick wall is strong enough to support the weight and that you use wall anchors specifically suited for concrete/brickwork. There is a great amount of 'pull' against the wall, and you may run the risk of pulling out a wall anchor that is not securely in place. I'd check with a knowledgeable contractor or hardware store representative first to make sure you select the best wall anchor for this type of application in addition to knowing about the integrity of the wall you are working with. That's why, with sheetrock-covered walls, one is advised to firmly anchor the bracket into a wall stud for maximum strength. Hope this helps.

Yes, just drill with a masonry bit and use an anchor. You can also consider glue. Also consider alternate places to mount it.
