Wall Hooks What type of wall hooks I need to hold a heavy object on the wall? I'm cleaning the garage and I want to install wall hooks to hold them securely and two folding chairs really heavy metal on the garage wall. Go with Gizmo on this, except that you'll most likely need 8 or 10 mm bolts, as the screw threads are large enough on the hooks I think! You should look for hooks to the weight of what you are suspended, and make sure you hang on a wall stud or withdraw from the wall. Head to a discount store like Wal-Mart or Kmart. Go to B & Q, they do packs of hooks to hold garage you need. Get hooks for hanging heavy ladders, etc.. You'll also need a 6 mm drill and masonry plugs until you arrive to mount the brackets. No problem, most DIY stores, or one pound shops carry the kind of thing you meen. They are extended up to 6 inches long hooks well. If you are unable to screw in the wood, you may need to be "taken" from the wall for a secure fit. Why not do what we did in our garage to keep the ladder. Just put up a pair of shelf brackets, the kind that are L-shaped They sit well on them. Hello, Go to Lowe's Web site and review products Gladiator. It is more expensive than buying hooks, but did a good job. You can buy hooks that are up to 6-8 cm long after the little screw, they can be a standard hook or a rounded off square type. Just drill and plug the walls of good size and quality of corks and they saw the same thing only smaller. You can get them in most hardware stores and I've even seen them in Aldi. We used to lift a roof box high in our garage when he was off duty, with two bikes, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, blah blah blah. Go ...... get your work surface. ;-) Posted on May 18, 2010.
