I took the easy way out and got one of those rows of hooks that hangs over the top of the door.

Hi Fred

Thanks for this - I see the 'minimum thickness' panel thickness for these seems to be 6mm, which would probably be OK. The ones I saw were quoted as being for plasterboard and the 'barrel' was probably 10mm or so.

I can live with the thickness of the tang - could make a spacer with suitable cutouts or similar.

Cheers Jon

Hi Owain

I was looking out for those as well but didn't spot any. Can you suggest a supplier?

Thanks Jon

Would a self adhesive one not suit ?

SWMBO got so fed up waiting for me to fit some hooks on the back of our bedroom door that she bought a couple of self-adhesive jobs from Tesco or somewhere and plonked them on. Yeah right, says muggins, they'll *really* work.

Three or four years later they still haven't fallen off. Go figure!

Argos. They're introducing a new catalogue about now, but page 217 in the Spring/Summer one, or

all are for 4cm door thickness. I think I've typed them correctly.

Thanks Owain! Jon
