I want to hang a 30kg mirror on a 'plasterboard into brick' wall. Will two 8x100mm screws hold that weight?
Hello,
This is less about whether the screw can handle the weight, but more about whether the wall material can grip the screw that is supporting the 30kg weight. Most often it is not the fixing that fails, but the walls grip on the fixing (the fixing gets pulled out but does not snap/break).
Regrettably, due to health and safety we are not able to advise you regarding this installation etc.
Ideally you need to use a specific heavy duty fixing suitable for your wall type and your installation type.
For the safest advice you may wish to consult with a competent tradeperson.
Thank you for using Q&A.
