Yes, it is possible to screw into a hollow metal door, but it should be done carefully to avoid damaging the door or compromising its structural integrity.
Hollow metal doors typically have a metal frame with a hollow core that is filled with insulation or other materials. The thickness of the door can vary, but it is usually between 1 3/4 to 2 inches.
If you need to screw something into a hollow metal door, it is important to use the right type of screws and to avoid over-tightening them. You should also be careful not to drill too deeply into the door, as this can damage the core and affect the strength of the door.
It is recommended to use self-tapping screws that are designed for use with metal, as these screws can create their own threads without the need for pre-drilling. To ensure a secure hold, it is best to screw into the solid parts of the door, such as near the hinges or the lockset.
If you are unsure about the best way to attach something to a hollow metal door, it is recommended to consult with a professional installer or a manufacturer's representative for guidance.
