How to install these bolts for a safe
I've got a home security safe but I don't know how to install the bolts that came with it, see pictures attached.
The metal sheath does not have a thread, it's loose around the bolt. The smaller end part does have a thread.
Can anyone help me find out:
A picture of the wall where the bolts are to be inserted is also attached.
Thank you in advance.

Can anyone help me find out:
- what this type of bolt is called?
- how to install it?
- what size hole to drill - the bolt sheath is 10mm in diameter?
- which part is meant to expand?

Thank you in advance.

If you look at the part that goes into wall you will see a tapered head.. As you tighten the nut it will expand and lock in wall. Need a 10 mm drill. If going into concrete you will need a masonry bit. If that is a block wall those may not work. If you drill into a hollow of wall you will need a different anchor.Something like this
