The setting tool is a must for these fittings. It's much easier, and quicker, than trying to tighten them with a screwdriver first.The following should work
They are similar to interset fittings but those are used for plasterboard, which is thicker than the hardboard on a thin door. Additionally, intersets have teeth thay dig into the substrate.
Before buying them, read the reviews, you normally need to use a special tool. The tool grabs the screw head and as it pulls it towards to you, the wings on the fitting clamp to the reverse side of the door skin.
Someone in the reviews talks about not having the setting tool.

Thin door is unlikely to be hollow, is it a cupboard door?I want to hang up a spice rack on a door that is hollow
Is this OK to do?
I thought would be OK if I used dry wall anchors
The problem is that the door looks like it's less than 3cm thick. So not sure what anchor to use
Thanks
Thin door is unlikely to be hollow, is it a cupboard door?
The problem is that the door looks like it's less than 3cm thick.The hollow doors with the cardboard interiors are often 35mm. The OP says it is about 3cm.
The problem is that the door looks like it's less than 3cm thick.
Hence my questionThe OP seemed to be guessing.
I have seen cupboard doors that are hollow- by that I mean that regular door blanks were used.
Hence my question
OP said less than 30mm . We don’t know how OP determined it’s hollow, in fact we know next to nothing about the door given the little info by OP.Ok, I am lost. The OP says it is about 3cm (which is close to 3.5cm). I would imagine that if the OP were to tap the door, they would hear the hollow sound.
