I used a couple of small wall anchors for hanging a full length mirror on the outside of the bathroom door (it is hollow).

I would use several wood screws and epoxy (if it's to be permanent) to mount a piece of hardwood to an outside wall, then attach what you need to it.

And remember - don't push very hard on the drill -one wouldn't want to poke a hole thru to the outside.]]> Mon, 15 Aug 2016 14:02:24 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8564&PID=80578#80578 screw size and thread : I have used #8 screws and had... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8564&PID=80566#80566 Author: sailor323

I have used #8 screws and had no problems. I've hung spice racks and other moderately heavy objects with them. If you want more holding power, use them in conjunction with double sided tape or use hollow wall anchors as JandL suggested

If whatever you are screwing to the wall is very light you can use a #6 or #8 wood or sheet metal screw. It doesn’t take much force to pull a screw out of an 1/8” wall so for heavy items you need Hollow Wall Anchor for wall thickness 1/8” – 1/4'’ .]]> Thu, 11 Aug 2016 09:51:08 +0000 http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8564&PID=80379#80379 screw size and thread : Need to know best screw thread... http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=8564&PID=80350#80350 Author: Giacomo

Need to know best screw thread and size for use in attaching items to the interior walls given the fact that
they are only 1/8 inch thick. Any one?
