I have some cabling and also thin metal material I want to secure to a door. I've tried using cable tack staples but they pull out too easy, also your normal cable hoop tack is even easier to pull out (both pictured below)

I remember seeing one time a plastic hoop with 2 screws either side, not nails but actual small screws. Does anyone know of these and where to get them, as I feel the screw thread will keep it secured to the door nicely.

Any help appreciated in sourcing these. Thanks

Why on earth do you want to secure cable to a door, it is just going to break at the hinge point due to continual flexing.

Thin metal material is on the door, it is a towel rail I don't want coming away from it. Cable is elsewhere

The correct thing I want is a small saddle clip by the way, saw one in plumbing section today for pipework so now I know the name of it I just need to find a smaller version.

Self adhesive type work well especially sticking to metal.

Thanks, already tried that route but didn't stick long as it is in a bathroom that gets some humidity
Double sided foam adhesive it not affected by humidity , you have to stick to a clean and dry surface though.

That was the adhesive I tried, didn't work. We use it in the workplace to stick trunking to walls carrying heavy cables and it's that strong it takes loose plaster and paint off the wall when you rip it off,......couldn't hack 2 days in the bathroom holding a flimsy piece of metal
