Need to hang screw hook in the ceiling. No margin.
Hi,
I am moving my ceiling lamp. I've drilled the new hole but there is no clearance for my new screw hook and plug. By no clearance, I mean the space between the gypsum ceiling and the ceiling behind my gypsum. I would appreciate if it's a 28mm batten in between. Then I don't know if it's board sheathing or masonite sitting back there. I shone a flashlight into the hole and it looks like some wood-like material anyway.
The house was built in 1976.
I was thinking of replacing the screw hook with a toggle anchor but they also need clearance to unfold once inserted into the hole.
Or can I drill straight through the board sheathing/masonite too?

What do you mean? Then the ceiling lamp's position will be completely wrong. I have to find the rule that might not correspond with my desired position.A AG A said:
