I have SIP sliding doors. The SIPs have 3.5" of eps covered with 8mm of Magnum Board MgO. There is 2x4 perimeter, but I would like to put a handle where there is no wood, how can I connect it? Is there there an expanding anchor or something that will be somewhat strong?

The only thing that might work is thru bolting with a metal back plate

I use molly bolts to attach things to my MgO board. You can buy them at Lowes.

duessell,
did you predrill holes for the molly bolts?
did the molly bolts just go through one side of the SIP?
thanks, gary
