Has anybody tried mounting on the door to your craftroom? I currently have shoe bags with clear pouches but want the rails. ( actually I already bought them) I have absolutely no wall space left in the room. Hubby said it won't work as doors today are hollow. I still want to try this. Maybe anchors of some kind? Anyway, has anybody put them on a door?
Your DH is correct. Each long rod will hold 13 of the SU punches. That's A LOT of weight. Even anchoring mine into drywall (and a few studs), I had to use anchors.
Since doors are only very thin plywood sheeting, an anchor or mollybolt would likely pull right through it.
You could anchor your rods to a piece of plywood and then hang that over the top of your door with U brackets, but it seems like a lot of work to me.
I was wondering this, too. I have them on the wall right behind my door (yes, they fit there). I also have the shoe bag. I saw someone had an over the door shelf rack thing. I would really like to know where they got that from!
Depending on how stong you believe your door to be, I would check out toggle bolts. If you search it you should come up with some helpfull articles to help you determine if it might be possible. Personally, with a toggle bold and a door that is in good shape, I would probably go for it.
My hubby mounted 9 of the rails to a piece of plywood...then bought a bracket that goes over the top of the door. It works great...I have a rack like this on the wall and one on the door and still need MORE>..lol. I really love the baskets you can hang on the bottom rail too! Mounting the rails on a piece of plywood (painting the wood first) and then securing the plywood to the wall requires a lot less holes in your wall.
blessings.
search for an "over the door shelf rack thing" in kitchen storage places. Perhaps the "solutions" catalog... I love the idea of a sheet of plywood instead of drilling lots of holes in the walls! I should have read this before I started drilling...

I would be afraid that over time the weight would make the door not hang properly thus making it not close properly.
Door hangers are great space savers, but . . . please consider the amount of weight you are hanging on your door. I had my punches in the clear door hangers. That weight over time loosened the screws and hinges on my door causing problems. Granted the door is not great but . . .a word of warning ....
I bought the elfa system for the over the door pantry, only the "pantry" is my punches. I absolutely love it and cannot imagine life without it... here's a link. get it on sale! http://www.containerstore.com/shop/e...allRackSystems
I started cheap and then kept adding shelves...
my interior doors are hollow and this is heavy but it is made specifically for this!!!!!
looking it up again, made me realize that I should buy another one for my closet door and put my CD cases (unmounted stamps storage) into them..oh and it's on sale...wow. I cannot believe I have not thought of this.
Bygel rails mounted on the door???
