    Light Duty Anchors for Block and Brick

    These anchors grip the sides of your hole to resist twisting and pullout in block and brick. They’re an economical choice for mounting lightweight switches, security cameras, and clocks. All are the easiest anchors to install in block and brick but have the lowest strength.
    To install, drill a hole slightly deeper than the anchor is long. Next, insert the anchor until it's flush with the surface. Then, thread a tapping screw through your component into the anchor and tighten. Remove your component by unfastening the screw, but the anchor itself cannot be removed.
    Anchors
    Alligator—Expand and fuse to hole walls for a secure hold. Projections on these anchors add gripping force to prevent twisting. Removing and reinstalling your screw will not lessen the strength.
    Flanged Alligator—Best for installing in walls with hollow cavities, the flange keeps these anchors from being pushed through your hole. The anchors split in half inside the cavity for a secure hold. Projections on the anchors add gripping force to prevent twisting. Removing and reinstalling your screw will not lessen the strength.
    Lobed—As the anchors expand, lobes running down the entire length of the anchor firmly grip your hole to create the highest pull-out strengths of all our light duty anchors. However, removing and reinstalling the screw will weaken the strength.
    Finned—For a secure hold, two large fins grip holes in solid surfaces or expand in the cavity of hollow surfaces. The fins also add tension before tightening the screw, so these anchors won't fall out of overhead holes. Removing and reinstalling the screw will weaken the strength.
    Ribbed—Soft enough to conform to irregular, out-of-round holes, yet hard enough to hold securely. These anchors expand and distort to fit your hole while ribs add gripping force to prevent twisting. Removing and reinstalling your screw will not lessen the strength.

    High-Strength Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Anchors. High-Strength Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Offering up to twice the strength of double expansion anchors, these US-made anchors expand in four directions for a superior grip in floors, walls, and ceilings. You can even use them to mount heavy machinery with constant motion, such as conveyors and vibrating feeders, because their ridges lock them in place to resist vibration. All of these anchors expand along their full length to distribute the gripping force, so they won’t crack soft materials. You can use them in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points as an alternative to drop-in anchors.
    To install, tap the anchor into a drilled hole. Insert a screw or threaded rod through your machinery and into the anchor. Then, tighten to expand the anchor. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod.

    Secure window frames and doors in walls where your drilling depth is limited. These anchors have similar strengths to double expansion anchors but only need about 75% of the installation depth. All have a sleeve that expands inside your hole to create a strong grip. The sleeve, commonly called a caulking sleeve, also creates a seal to block out air and moisture. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of these anchors, they won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. They’re also known as caulk-in anchors.
    To install, place the anchor into a drilled hole, cone end first. Insert an installation tool (sold separately) into the anchor to expand the sleeve over the cone. Then, position your component, insert a screw or threaded rod, and tighten. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod. They cannot be used in overhead applications.
    Adjustable-Depth Installation Tools—Use the adjustable stop to set anchors at consistent depths.
    Quick-Set Installation Tools—For high volume tasks, turn with a power drill to speed up repetitive installations.

    Bolt-Style Sleeve Anchors for Block and Brick

    Remove the bolt so the anchor is flush with your walls and floors to slide components past these anchors, making it easier to install or make adjustments. They’re best for door frames that need to be pressed into place or machinery you service frequently. All have a sleeve that expands inside your hole to create a strong grip. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. You can use these anchors as an alternative to wedge anchors in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong.
    To install, drive the anchor through your component into a drilled hole until the head meets the surface. Then, tighten the bolt to expand the anchor sleeve. As you tighten, the nylon ring compresses to secure the component against the surface. You can remove the bolt, but the anchor itself cannot be removed.

    Sleeve Anchors for Block and Brick

    Mount machinery, railings, and framing in walls and floors. These anchors have a sleeve that expands inside your hole to create a strong grip. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. You can use these anchors as an alternative to wedge anchors in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong.
    To install, drive the anchor through your machinery into a drilled hole until the head meets the surface. Then, tighten the nut or flat head to expand the anchor sleeve. Remove your machinery by unfastening the nut or flat head, but the anchor itself cannot be removed.

    Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Also known as double expansion anchors, these expand from both sides for full contact with your hole’s walls. They’re often used to mount handrails, shelving, and light fixtures. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. You can use these anchors as an alternative to drop-in anchors in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong.
    To install, hammer into a drilled hole and position your component. Then, insert a screw or threaded rod and tighten. For maximum expansion, the anchor should protrude slightly above the surface before threading the screw. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod. They cannot be used in overhead applications.

    Light Duty Drive Rivet Anchors for Block and Brick

    A step up from a nail, the rivet head creates a secure connection with a finished look for mounting lightweight signs, screens, and panels. Easier to install than other types of anchors for block and brick, the anchors expand as you hammer in the pin or screw. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials.
    To install, insert the anchor through your component and into a drilled hole. Then, hammer the pin or screw until it's flush with the anchor's head, which expands the anchor body.

    Vibration-Resistant Drive Anchors for Block and Brick

    Best for securing heavy machinery with constant motion, such as vibrating feeders and conveyors, to walls and floors, these anchors won’t shake loose. As you hammer in the pin, the anchor body expands while the ridges bite into your hole’s walls for a superior grip. These anchors require more force to install than sleeve anchors, so the block and brick you are installing them in should not be worn or cracked.
    To install, position the nut and insert the anchor through your machinery into a drilled hole. Then, hammer the pin until it's flush with the top of the bolt, ensuring the anchor is fully set.

    A tamper-resistant nut prevents the unwanted removal of machinery. Turn the nut round side up for a domed look or flat side up to create a flush finish in countersunk holes. Once set, the nut can’t be removed. The only way to remove the machinery is to pry out the pin and remove the entire anchor.

    Lag Anchors for Block and Brick

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Contains Annotated. Anchors. Lag Anchors for Block and Brick.
    Pair with large-diameter wood screws, often called lag screws, to secure heavy wood structures like beams and joists to block, brick, and concrete. As you tighten your screw, these anchors expand while their lobes grip the hole’s walls for a strong hold.
    To install, tap the anchor into a drilled hole until it’s flush or slightly below the surface. Then, position your structure, insert a lag screw, and tighten. You can remove your lag screw to disassemble or adjust the structure. However, frequently removing the screw will weaken the strength. The anchor itself cannot be removed.

    Drive Rivet Anchors for Block and Brick

    Fasten signs, security cameras, and motion detectors. All of these anchors have a rivet head that creates a secure connection with a finished look. Easier to install than other types of anchors for block and brick, the anchors expand as you hammer in the pin or screw. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of the anchor, it won’t crack soft materials. These anchors can be used in concrete near edges, corners, or other weak points, but they are not as strong as other drive rivet anchors for concrete.
    To install, insert the anchor through your component and into a drilled hole. Then, hammer the pin or screw until it's flush with the anchor's head, which expands the anchor body.
