Hi everyone

I’m looking to mount my hoover holder to a hollow door, and wondered if hollow wall fixings are appropriate or if there is a specific thing I need.

I’ve got these and was hoping I could use them:

Cheers in advance!

Thanks, Jake.

I used these recently to help hold a sink to a hollow wall. Best fixings I have come across for these situations.

+1 for these, great fixings. Although, I hung on my door a towel rail, and my girls used to pull down a bit, and it didn’t last long, grip it fixings weren’t of use, as the holes would have been too big where the screw holes lined up, so I drilled a hole, 22mm diameter, cut short stubs of 10mm copper pipe, and used these vertically to screw to as an anchor, a great fix now.
