Not sure whether this or the Working Forum is best for this query. Tossed a coin and it ended here 
Got some single fixing point hooks that I want to fix to a bathroom door. The method as supplied is a single screw comprising 15mm wood thread then the remainder in the metric equivalent of 2BA which the hook and pretty part screw onto.
Problem is, it’s a solid panelled door and I want to fix the hooks onto the panel which at best guess is a max of 12mm thick.
I have a 3mm thick steel bracket left over from putting up some curtain rails. This I could cut into 12mm squares and drill an tap 2 BA in the centre. Rebate those into the door then use some 2BA studding to attach the hook part.
If I go down this route I would have to glue the “nut” into the rebate, since the glue would then be the only thing giving the job any strength what would the best glue to use be?
Or can you think of a much simpler way to do the job?
