Does Command Strips Work on Brick?

Will Command™ Products stick to brick? No. Command™ Products are intended for mostly smooth surfaces such as those listed above. However, our products will stick to painted, smooth cinder block (the type found inside many school and office buildings).

How do you stick Command hooks to brick?

If you need to hang Command strips on brick for any reason, I've found that a dab of hot glue works wonders! :-) And finally, if you have freshly painted walls, you should wait at least 7 days before hanging Command strips. (Even then, you may have trouble getting Command strips to stick to certain kinds of paint.)

How do you hang something on a brick wall?

If you need to hang heavy objects or ensure the object is secure on the wall, use screw-in anchor hooks. All you have to do is pre-drill holes into the mortar or brick, then screw in the anchor hook. You can also use anchors that stick to or clamp to the wall, but these are best for light objects only.
