What is the best way to attach curtain hangers and picture/mirrors to wall made of plaster over metal lath on concrete block.
I would normally use plastic anchors, but when I drill, the bits grab the metal lath and chunk out the back of the plaster. I don’t think a regular molly will hold all that well in the ragged hole.
There is not enough clearance to spring open/rotate in a toggle.
I did get a couple in, with expanding anchors into the concrete block, but this is overkill for curtains.
Next, I’ll try lead anchor into the block with long screws.
Is there an easier way that I’m missing???

Why not just use Tapcons into the block?
Because, I'm not smart enough to think of that! Thanks, great idea.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
