I will mount these into concrete. What diameter and length of concrete masonry screws do I need to use? Do I also need to use plastic "anchors"? I've tried to use plastic "anchors" other times that I've drilled holes in concrete, but have never been...

Hi! I own these, but I installed with hollow wall anchors into drywall. I feel you in regards to plastic inserts into concrete, NOT the way to go ! Get wedge type anchors from Menards, Home Depot, LOWE'S, etc. if memory serves correctly, the mounting holes are only about 5/16, so 4 small concrete anchors would be more than enough to hold up a speaker. The anchors won't need to be more than 1.5 inches long. Hope this helps! Loni S Howard Howard Productions, LLC

No-- the way the kit is set up you need to drill into concrete and wedge provided plastic anchor inserts into the hole. The screws provided then screw into the anchors to tighten. If you buy concrete screws you can drill a pilot hole and then screw the screws directly into the concrete without using anchors. The concrete screws create threads in the concrete as you screw them in. You can then unscrew them and screw them back in at any time because the threads are permanently etched into your concrete holes. Click on my review for more detail.

I would recommend using a mason drill bit and mason screws to install this on a cement wall. When you put your rods in and you have to give a little bit of a pull when you take your rods of the rack, so I don't think glue will last long or really work out well IMO.

Yes, using concrete screws anchors. You will need to drill into the wall using the appropriate drill and then put a contrete anchor into the hole to accept the screw. Not that complicated.

Not sure mine has been mounted to my concrete wall for a year. However I did drill them bigger as this is just plastic then I added steel plates as described in other reviews to strenghen. Used large concrete anchors instead of what came with real

I have no experience mounting anything on concrete, but there is really nothing special about this hook with that respect. I would just go to the Homedepot, Lowes or other home improvement stores to ask/buy hardware (anchors/screws/tools). The size of the holes (on the hook) for mounting is very "reasonable" (I used pretty large wood screws). Hope that helps.

it comes with wall anchors and screws. These are designed for indoor stucco or wood but if you have a drill and bit for masonry, it should work

Yes, I imagine that these would work fine when fastened to a concrete/rebar wall, with two caveats: 1) Ensure that the holding strength of the fastener is sufficient for the load you are hanging. 2) Before attaching the Quakehold hook to the wall with the anchor/screw, "set" the concrete anchor by attaching a small block of plywood to the wall; then, remove the screw, and attach the Quakehold hook to the wall. This will help to prevent squeezing (and possibly weakening) the plastic quakehold hook. NOTE: Use block of wood is same thickness as the quakehold hook.

Mine went into 2-3 inches of concrete like it was butter.....well, almost. I drilled a 1/4 inch hole first and then a 3/8 hole to put in epoxy and a piece of 5/16 allthread rod (4 places) to mount a garden hose reel securely. (Now I don't have to stand on the hose reel to stabilize it......I just crank away.) This is a homeowner's dream ...... but NOT contractor's grade (add a few hundred $ more for a high-quality/use it all day contractor's tool).

I drilled holes in the concrete and anchored each leg with 1/4 bolts. Your local hardware store can provide you with the necessary parts. The attachment screws for the legs are 1/4 inch. I drilled holes to provide 2 screws in each leg. I think the anchors required 3/8 holes in the concrete.

The box I received didn't have the right bolts for a concrete wall. The part you workout is great but I would strongly advise to get a stronger bolt for masonry from you local home improvement store. Also ensure how much weight the bolt is made to endure orit might break under a workout load. I hoe that helps you.

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.

They are not designed for concrete. There is a specific type of drill and bits for concrete and masonry. So you would ideally want to use a hammer drill with a masonry bit. There are drills that have a hammer switch setting for concrete that work well with masonry bits in concrete.

I had to mount it into sheetrock. So I didn't use the provided screws. I used sheetrock anchors that I bought from the hardware store. It slides onto the screw heads so you can use whatever length or type of screw you need.

I anchored mine to a concrete wall. The package comes with screws and instructions for mounting directly to a wall stud.

Sure. Drill small pilot hole with masonry bit - just big enough so you can hammer in a plastic anchor. Works well and you do not have to worry about stud spacing/locating.
