Fitting wall hangers

[RhysP]

I used long masonry screws, drilled into the brick (old house, no plasterboard), brown rawlplugs.... and the f***ing thing still came away from the wall & smashed my bass into the floor.

Holes drilled too big? Screws too thin? Screws too short?

I now feel much less like a DIY numpty and know what needs to be done. I am a man empowered!

Faulty brick that I had no way of knowing about.

Many good suggestions above.

This is my way of being certain that the hanger will be secure with no damage to the plasterboard.

Option B is probably the easiest solution, and therefore the best. I hadn't even considered using spacers!
