Default Putting a hook in a steele door

Magnetic hook?

Thankyou Nancy for the link that is EXACTLY what I need...Why didn't I think
of a magnet... DUH ,smacks myself in the head....LOL



SWMBO likes to hang seasonal stuff on our front door (steel) too. I
discouraged her from drilling a hole for a hook and she settled on
having a magnetic hook. Our door faces east and is protected by a
storm door and she likes having the sliding window in the storm door
closed. This creates an oven-type environment between the doors. One
day this summer, she noticed that the magnetic hook had been sliding
down the door. I assume the heat had melted or weakened the magnet
enough to allow it to slide. This left a trail on the door (which I
hope can be buffed out). The magnet also could not be removed as it
was stuck to the door! I removed it using dental floss. I guess if
your door does not face the sun, or is adequately ventilated you won't
have this problem.
