Having a hollow door can come with a lot of challenges when it comes to attaching a hook. You may have encountered this problem yourself when trying to hang a rack on one of your hollow doors. If you haven\u2019t got the proper material to accustom your hollow door, you may find it difficult when it comes to hanging stuff on there.<\/p>\n

Warning:<\/strong><\/span><\/em> It\u2019s possible that you may end up damaging the door completely because you didn\u2019t install the hook properly. In order to hang hooks properly onto your hollow door, you need a hollow-core door anchor (View on Amazon)<\/a>. These anchors are made specifically for attaching things onto hollow doors. For example, there\u2019s special equipment that allows you to hang hooks on drywall or wood. A hollow door anchor will make sure that you don\u2019t damage your hollow door when it comes to hanging stuff on there.<\/p>\n

Hollow doors may be caused by damp from hanging towels on your door, or you may just have a low-quality door that you aren\u2019t willing to replace.<\/p>\n

1. Measure a Hole<\/h3>\n

Before you start to drill any holes into your door, you need to make sure that you have hollow door anchor screws that won\u2019t go all the way through your door. You may have a hook that comes with anchors and screws, but it\u2019s important that you get a hollow door core anchor that\u2019s specifically for hollow doors.<\/p>\n

First, you need to figure out where you\u2019re going to drill the hold in. You need to first measure from the door of your door and hang the hook in the same spot. From here, you can use a colored pen to mark when the hole needs to be drilled for your hollow door anchors. You can use a tape measure to double-check this.<\/p>\n

2. Drill Hole<\/h3>\n

Tip:<\/strong><\/span><\/em> Before you start to drill a hole through your door, you can painters\u2019 tape (View on Amazon)<\/a> to the pilot, so you know when to stop drilling through your door. You\u2019ll need to stop as soon as you hit the tape so that the pilot doesn\u2019t go through the other end. This allows you to know the furthest you should go before you stop your drill.<\/p>\n

Before you start to drill a hole, make sure to get a feel of your drill. This is important because putting in a bit too much power can result in you poking a hole through your door. This is why you need to make sure you have some measures put in place such as the painters\u2019 tape.<\/p>\n

When drilling, make sure to drill slowly because your door is hollow. As soon as you drill you may notice the drill falling forward, it\u2019s important that you don\u2019t put too much power behind it.<\/p>\n

3. Add Hollow Door Anchors<\/h3>\n

Put the hollow door anchors into the hole you just drilled and much sure that they\u2019re secured \u2013 this can be done by tightening the screws into the anchor slowly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
