Hi there!I’ve recently bought a ten year old semi detached ‘new build’ type property- which mainly has metal stud plaster walls internally. We’ve hung a few things up so far using bolts left to us by the previous owners - M6 Hollow wall anchors 37mm.We bought an ikea coat rack yesterday, which this afternoon I’ve tried to hang by the front door... marked up and drilled the pilot holes through the plaster fine, but after drilling one hole with the 10mm drill bit to fit the anchor, realised I’m coming up on concrete/brickwork about 3mm in so the bolts won’t fit as they’re too long. Can I drill into this? Will my anchors still work on this or what is a suitable alternative fixing?Thanks in advance, any advice very much appreciated! via /r/DIY https://ift.tt/2OQYdea
