Drilling in to a metal lintel

[kayenesse]

How do i fix a curtain pole to a metal lintel?

Well you could drill holes in the lintel and use self tapping screws.

Or it may be easier to use "No more nails " or similar to glue a batten to the wall and then fix the pole to that.

Drill a 5.5mm hole and then tap out to 6mm and use a long bolt or drill a 4.5mm hole and tap out to 5mm.....

"No Nails" - a lot easier, and very good!
