Get the metal type. They're more expensive, but vastly better. You may need some countersunk M4 screws to fit what you're hanging.

On a ply or hard board door any fixing can be ripped out easily with any weight on the hooks.

I'd have thought that readi drivas would give a good enough fixing in a door for robe hooks.

Hold a piece of decent wood the other side and screw through the door into that.

Doesn't look so good but wont come out
