Can you elaborate with the problem you are having? If you are trying to "hit a stud", these tend to be METAL, and your will not be able to drive a nail into to it. You can drill a small pilot hole, and use a sheet metal screw and hook.

Hope this helps.


If going into an exterior wall on a block constructed house wouldn't you need to drill through the block? The furring strips are only a 1/2" thick. How can the expandable ones work ? I haven't tried it yet, just curious.
