How to attach spice rack to hollow core door?
I'm building a fairly substantial spice rack (18x38) and am planning to
hang it on the inside of my pantry door. I'm worried, though, that the rack, loaded with spices, may just pull out screws that I'd drive through the veneer. Any suggestions? Liquid Nails, maybe? Thanks, -Phil Crow |

Thanks, -Phil Crow Use the self threading anchors similar to the ones that screw into sheet rock. Or mount it high enough on the door that you hit the solid piece at the top. |

How to attach spice rack to hollow core door?
I just did something similar - attached squares of 1/2" plywood to an
interior door (I was actually making a table, but the principle is the same). To attach the plywood, I sanded any finish off the door, used wood glue to attach the ply to the door, and a bunch of countersunk 5/8" wood screws to hold the ply on while the glue dried. Clamps would have worked too, but I thought a bunch of screws would distribute the pressure better. Some of the screws stripped the soft wood on the door "skin" pretty easily, but most of them held the ply on tightly while the glue dried. There's so much glue area I'm not worried about whether the screws hold long-term. If I wanted to mount something like a spice rack that I might want to remove at some point, I'd glue/screw a piece of plywood to the door, then attach the rack to the plywood. Good luck, Andy |

Build the rack to fit the full space between the door jambs and fasten to the solid wood at the edge of the door or make a 3/4 inch panel the width of the space between the door jambs then fasten the spice rack to the panel. Some hollow core doors are little more than a cardboard sandwich, barely enough there to hold some sort of a finish but there is enough meat at the edges to hold a hinge. |

Thanks, -Phil Crow Several good replies already, but here is my 2 cents: It really depends on the hollow core door. I've autopsied a unit from my house. It was a 1/8" thick panel of MDF covered with a really really thin veneer. The side rails are about 1 inch MDF except for the area around the door knob. The bulk of the space is a cardboard matrix. I'd agree that a door of such construction probably can't support much weight using screws or even molly bolts through the face. You need to: 1) screw into the top or side rails 2) Hang the blasted thing from the top 3) Get enough surface adhesion on the door to hold the shelf up. 4) French cleat. The answer I like the best is the french cleat glued and bolted to the panel. If possible get some screws into the rails also. So I'm recommending a hybrid from some of the other great replies. They do make hollow core doors of better construction. If you have something better, than I've got, then you could go with a simpler fastening system. DGA |
