March 3, 201410 yr Interesting. I am surprised the bricks didn't crack or split in half when you drilled into them? Also, I think these would be more classified as shelve supports rather than hangers. When I saw the thread title I thought you had made a clothes hanger out of Lego or something!
March 3, 201410 yr ^I would use 1x2 technic bricks with hole in center. That way there wouldn't be any risk of cracking. I assume this is what was used here?
March 4, 201410 yr Author It's LEGO. It doesn't crack :) It is the 1x2 with hole. ^I would use 1x2 technic bricks with hole in center. That way there wouldn't be any risk of cracking. I assume this is what was used here? Edited March 4, 201410 yr by anderssons

March 4, 201410 yr Neat idea and practical use of LEGO. Interesting. I am surprised the bricks didn't crack or split in half when you drilled into them? Also, I think these would be more classified as shelve supports rather than hangers. When I saw the thread title I thought you had made a clothes hanger out of Lego or something! Maybe it depends on where and how you drill the piece. I used a 2x8 plate to fix my broken fridge handle last year. The plastic handle split in half on the top. I drilled two holes and tapped the handle to take a couple machine screws -> http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l270/dr_spock_888/lego/Picture21129_zps333c8e47.jpg It's still holding with constant opening and closing of the fridge door.

March 4, 201410 yr ^I would use 1x2 technic bricks with hole in center. That way there wouldn't be any risk of cracking. I assume this is what was used here? Duh! Of course that would of been easier and reduced any chance of cracking. Dunno why I was thinking he drilled into a solider 1x2 brick. ]I used a 2x8 plate to fix my broken fridge handle last year. The plastic handle split in half on the top. Interesting fix. Why not just try super glue or some kind of plastic welding though?
March 4, 201410 yr Nice! There's a cabinet here which has little metal pins in the side for holding the shelves. One day when I was using the cabinet, one of the pins got lost and the shelve wasn't able to stay flat on 3 pins... Gues what: I used a Technic pin in there Another one: I bought and ssd for my pc, but I forgot the ssd bracket. So, I made an ssd bracked from some plates and technic bricks and it's still holding it in there
