Attaching Items to Walls ??? - Event Date: 29 Mar 2020 - 29 Jun 2020

I used Command hooks placed on the walls where I cleaned with alcohol.  So far, so good hanging pictures and towels.  

Most of us can’t go camping with the virus lockdown so have time in our hands.

The photo you are showing is a self drilling self tapping screw, aka a Tek screw, the most well know brand name. The fluted tip is the self drilling part. I wouldn’t self drill, I’d drill a pilot hole. The self drilling screws are great if you’re putting in dozens or hundreds of them but you’re not. Pre drilling gives you better placement control. Self drilling screws just have a pointed tip with threads on it. Might want to use stainless steel ones, stainless is compatible with aluminum so you don’t get corrosion.

 I have in stalled many cabinets in our pod, there all held up by coarse thread drywall screws. I was told many times in this group and others that they will fall of the wall with the first trip you take. It has been 10 years and the cabinets are still in place.
