Walls – How to use to hang a coat hook on a brick wall

I have purchased several of these iron coat hooks:

However, they do not come with any kind of screws.

I will be hanging them on a (brick + plaster) party wall of my terraced property (UK).

I believe my options are to use either of the following:

  • Rawl plugs
  • Masonry self-tapping screws

However I am only aware of the latter due to googling for a solution, and I am unsure if either come in sizes suitable for my needs (The screw holes are 4mm in diameter, I am not sure how deep I should drill)

So my question is what should I use to attach these to the wall?

You'll need a masonry bit and hammer drill to get a hole in brick.

However it may be easier to screw the hooks to a piece of wood and mount the wood to the wall. With a nice routed edge on the wood that can look really nice.

To mount the wood you can use normal masonry anchors.
