I'm planning on putting a bathrobe/extra towel hook on the back of my bathroom door, but I'm pretty sure it's hollow wood. Can I just use the standard screws that come with the hook kit, or do I need something else?

You'll need hollow door fixings - something like these

Expanding wings grip securely in hollow doors, thin skin partitions, plywood and fibreglass. Ideal for the home, boat and caravan.

I ended up using these. Thanks for getting me on the right track of looking specifically for hollow door anchors. – Doresoom Jul 17 '12 at 19:58

It sounds like you already purchased a hook, but I can recommend 3M Command products. They use a removable, non-damaging adhesive strip.

I've actually got a few nice-looking Command hooks, but the hook I'm installing matches the rest of the fixtures in the bathroom. – Doresoom Aug 9 '10 at 14:35
