Cheers. Had a look at a few videos and they look really simple.

Any thoughts these which don't need plugs?

(haven't considered length,etc. just mean this style)

I used these when putting up some batons for kitchen cabinets (not in a kitchen) on brick. They were quite hit and miss. The ones that worked seems very secure but others just span, so maybe get a small pack and try first.

Ended up using decent rawl plugs and 100mm general screws (after watching a vid on youtube). Made sure i tapped in the plugs past the plasterboard. Worked everytime and seemed super strong at the end.

Cheers. Currently hunting good videos on how to do this and get everything level.

Also this will be brick not plasterboard.

As if my walls are that solid.
Spent a whole eve fixing three batons to an alcove, sub 50% success rate with drilling holes, the slight majority just crumbled away.
