Coat hangers

[dan2002]

Hi, was wondering if anyone could advise on this for me.

I screwed this coat hanger onto my door. It lasted a good amount of months and suddenly today it fell off?

Would no nails silicone do a job?

Is it a hollow door?

If so you can get hollow door fixings.

Yes most likely a hollow door

Ideally dont want to make any more holes as Ive done quite a bit wont silicone do the job?

You need jack nuts. Short ones like these, not long ones. (which seem to have a different name "hollow wall anchor" but are the same thing)

With any fixing, whatever you do, don't hang too many coats on there or it will fail again.

Yes you are right, think there too many jackets on there because initially it was very firmly stuck on

You can drill into two of the existing holes.

Silicone might work if the orientation was different. By that, I mean that if the rack ran down the door rather than horizontally there would be less of a shear load.

I was going to recommend those but wont the OP need to use the setting tool given that the collars don't have spikes to prevent them spinning as you try make the body collapse?
