Any good suggestions for hanging a spice rack on a hollow core door? They wont be holding a lot of weight so I thought about gluing them on but that might be messy, any other things any of you have done?

You can use those folding metal drywall anchors, but they can leave a fairly large visible hole if the mounting hole is not in the spice rack wood itself.
I used them in a bedroom hollow door and they worked well.

I thought about those but it would be to big a hole for the rack to cover. Someone mentioned Molly Screws and I think the hole would get covered up using those, just from what I saw.
I have used the metal version of "screw in" drywall anchors on hollow core doors. I hang a decent sized hardware organizer thingy full of screws from two of them in the shop. The door slides, is used often and I have had no problems.

Build the rack so that the sides extend to the top and the bottom of the door, where there are internal rails not air. Or if you're hanging a commercial spice rack, consider running a board from the top of the door to the bottom, and hanging the rack on it.
It is a commercial one and thats a good idea. I have stain that would match the doors and the wood rails wouldn't have to be real thick, I just have to see if there is enough clearance with the wood and the rails when the doors are closed. The racks are only 16" high so we have multiple ones and I could just make wood hangers the same length and glue them to the door, then screw the racks to them. Thanks I will give that a go.Originally Posted by Jamie Buxton
Or left ot right, just stay short of the door stops.
