Coat hooks

Would like to mount some coat hooks or a wood strip with some hooks on the wall just inside the entry door. What would be the best way to attach them to the wall? Not sure if wood screws would hold, seems like the walls are only about 1/8th inch thick.
  • Thanks flor the tip guys. I have not heard of these before. Did a google search and found there to be lots of sizes and styles. Looks likes it going to be "command strips". Thanks for the advice.
  • Yep, command hooks work for us, too. We each have one for a coat, and I hang my purse on one. We have them for keys. We have a small basket hung with command hooks that holds the dog leash, poop bags and a small flashlight (for when we take the pooch out at night). We have them in the bedroom for clothes, and in the bath for towels. In the kitchen for the oven mitts.

    Good advice. We hang coats, hats, dog leashes, and extra kitchen sinks on ours.
    Seriously, they are great. Ours have been up for years.
    Get the heavy duty ones.
