large plug for smaller screw

[redo]

Situation: a metal hook holds a door against a wall. The wall mounting broke after probably many years, screw and plug fell out.


Wall: semi-porous plaster/brick/mortar (100+ years old apartment building)


Hole: Relatively large because the old plug tore out a bit on the way out.

Screw: significantly smaller than the hole, can't easily switch to a larger one as it is attached to the metal hook.


Already tried with a regular yellow plastic plug that fit the screw but doesn't come close to filling the hole. Also tried filling the hole with pieces of the old plug and other junk but it doesn't work.

Is there any kind of plug that fills the large hole and allows me to use the old smaller screw? That should be the SMART way to solve it. But I can't find anything at the hardware stores.

(I already understand that one could essentially fill the hole with some compound and drill new and plug - or just fill the old hole and drill a new one a bit away and plug, etc. But I believe in reuse.)

Fill the hole with Husfix, epoxy, or something else that might be suitable after you've cleaned it as well as possible.
But, instead of waiting for it to cure and drilling a new hole, insert the plug where you want it, so it can settle in and cure in place. Then just screw in your eye & hook when it's dry and hard again.
