I need to mount a storm door in a breezeway. The problem is that on either side of the opening there is brick. I want to mount it by using pressure treated wood. But what would be the best way to secure it to these bricks? Molly Bolts?

There are many different types of fasteners available for this.

To start you need to drill some holes in the bricks to accommodate these fasteners. 4 on each side should be enough. My choice is to use 1/4" stainless screws. You want at least 1 1/2" to go into the brick. We use nylon lugs. Use a 5/16" masonry drill bit to make the holes for the lugs.
Ask the retailer for the right size lug for the application.
