Default Torx masonry screws

I have to attach a TV bracket to a conventional brick-with-plaster wall.
The bracket is a hinged extending design which means that even with a
small TV the weight supported will be considerable.Â* Plus, the baseplate
of the bracket has to be spaced out from the wall by some 50mm, probably
with a block of timber or similar.

Would these Torx-head frame fixing screws be suitable?Â* I've never used
them.

Alternatively I could use conventional Rawl-type bolt fittings but would
need to replace the bolts with considerably longer ones if the design
allows; I've not found any which come with longer bolts as standard.

Many thanks.



I have used them to hold in plastic window and door frames where there
really is not much load. The hole you drill first does have to be the
right size. In you case I am not sure what happens if the wall is breeze
block rather than brick.
