Plasplugs Hollow Door Fixings – Toolsy

Screw heads are exposed on the handles and any fixings need to match the finish: Exposed screw heads will likely be 6 gauge raised head countersunk screws where the face is rounded over instead of flat. If your handle fixings either miss or have not secured well into the lock block and become loose, the handle will be loose on the door.I really like some of your ideas and will give them a go (and then will probably have to get a new door) Ha ha ha! Many modern interior flush doors have a hollow core often consisting of little more than a honeycomb of corrugated cardboard to provide rigidity, and a thin plywood skin covered in a vinyl or foil decorative finish.

In this DIY guide we show two methods of fixing to hollow doors, one using specialist hollow door fixings and the other using construction adhesive. They also come supplied with correct sized drill bit to drill the correct size hole in the door to push the fixing in to so the surface of the plug is level with the surface of the door.As it’s planed we don’t need to sand it down, but if you are using just sawn batten, give it a good sand down first and once painted this will produce a good finish. Measure and mark the centre point of your batten around 30mm in from either end, drill out two small pilot holes and then countersink them ( see our guide here on pilot holes and countersinking for more information).

Match up the marks on the door and hanging rail and then use a spirit level to level the hanging rail.If a lock block is present, you may find that placing a match stick into the fixing hole may allow the screw to bite again. I put in some hollow door plugs which I thought might help the screws grip better but that has made it worse and the hinge is now coming away from the door. Insert a piece behind the existing - but a longer piece so you can drill and fix it above and below where the hinge is located. Once level, use a screw or other thin pointed object to mark through the fixing holes on the hanging rail to show where you need to drill your fixing holes.
