MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Ii have various hooks and things wall mounted in our modern internal garage with bare block walls. Over the 15 years we have been here some have got a bit loose with use.
I want to mount a charging docker for a Dyson cordless vacuum, which will be getting used most days, so need something that's proper solid and not going to wiggle loose - what are best fixings for this ?
Thanks
Mount a bit of cls or ply to the wall first. Dont skimp on fixings. Then go mental with whatever fixing you are putting on to that. If things change at a later date its easy.
good idea, cheers

For a charging dock for the very light v6 I'd just be using standard red rawlplugs. Rather than drill into the breeze put the holes in the mortar, this will give you a much neater hole to stick your plug in. The mounting holes in the charger are only small so you can't use anchor bolts for example, which would be totally unnecessary anyway.
Sockets are also likely to be on the internal plasterboard wall anyway so mount on that, unless you've had additional sockets installed.
If I was using it most days I would put it in the house anyway, cupboard under the stairs for example.
And don't use adhesive - you may want to remove it at some point.
Red plugs just pull out of our thermal block walls.
I use these:

Work really well for shelves, radiators etc.
I used threaded rod and resin to affix our bathroom sink.
cheers folks, enough in there to sort, thanks
Gary - garage is internal, so door off kitchen, no stair cupboard 🙂

Yes so did I but this is a lightweight cordless vacuum cleaner.
The issue with drilling into breeze is that you generally don't get a clean hole due to the way the block is made. That's why, unless I was using an anchor bolt, I would always drill into the mortar.
mortar should be simple, so will do that with red rawlplugs and if it comes loose I will : 1, moan at you Gary, and 2, use those thermal block fixings for version 2 🙂
