I'm hanging a very heavy mirror on a wall that is plaster on brick or possibly plaster, then breeze block , then brick. Its a solid external wall anyway, I tried screwing into it before and got no further than about half an inch when I hit the brick/breeze block. So I've bought grey nylon plugs 10mmx50mm which come supplied with screws size 6mmx60mm. Sold as suitable for masonry, brick, concrete.
I've never done this before. Bit of a novice. I'm guessing at an 8mm masonry bit but that is just a guess. So what is the best sized drill bit? Should the hole be the length of the screw or the length of the plug?
The mirror has steel loops on the back to hang directly off the screws, so that aspect is sorted.
