Hollow Core Doors

I want to hang a piece of 1/2" plywood on the hollow core door. Then I want to put shelves on the plywood to store spices and other small items. What can I use to hang the plywood?

I have a hollow core door that had to be cut down to fit the odd doorway in this house. I'm going to have to take it back down because the panel of the door is coming off of the solid bottom. My point being that they are not completely hollow. They have to be solid at the top and the bottom. You should be able to attach the plywood there. For that matter, they may have a solid frame along the sides as well. And you've given me a idea, LOL.

There are 'over the top' hangers that fit on top of doors that would serve your purpose.

That is a good idea. I never thought of that being solid at the top, bottom and sides.

Hollow core doors are made with a wood frame, 2 sheets of luan, and filled with cardboard rings that look like a heavy roll of paper towels that was cut up. The top and bottom plate are wider to allow for trimming that might be needed, and the piece where the door knob goes is large enough to install the knob. I recommend that if you add plywood, secure it about a half inch from the sides. You'd probably be better off to build the unit before attaching it to the door. Predrill as well. Use a construction adhesive like liquid nails.
