Need to hang a Fire Blanket and need recommended screw fixing (1 Viewer)

[FrankNicklin]

I need to hang a fire blanket near the kitchen which is at the rear of the MH. The ideal place is on the wall just inside the hab door, there is no where else that won't interfere with cupboard doors opening. Command Strips are useless on the internal wall coating so will have to screw a hook in.

Any suggestions are a preferred fixing method. Was going to use a hook and a cavity type fixing. Not sure how thick the inner wall material is or how much space (wall depth there is) behind.

I'd try and get an idea of the material it's made of and any likely cable runs a lot of the wallboard is very lightweight .

What about that Nano tape stuff? Would that work?

Nano tape might work, I do have some in the MH, it needs to be strong enough to withstand yanking on the tapes to pull the blanket out. I could supplement the nano behind the hook with nano on the back of the blanket pouch as well I guess.

A stud wall is covered with either 12.5mm or 9mm plasterboard and a skim of plaster.

If you tap around where you want to place it and it goes between hollow (stud) and
solid then it's likely to be a 'Dot and Dab where a solid wall is covered in plasterboard
that is 'glued' to the wall by an adhesive.

I would use double sided tape and a short screw or two, I put three hooks on the back of our wardrobe door like this and they have never moved, I will add that the hooks didn’t have screw holes so I just drilled and countersunk them.
