Does your GF weigh more than 45kg? Odds are you'll be paying damages, even if you are lucky enough to find a joist. No disrespect, just physics.

In some Victorian era houses, rooms at the front of the house got nice millwork, and kitchens and other backrooms got cheap wood which was painted. I've seen kitchen and other doors which were literally oak or better hardwood on one face, and pulp wood on the other. If this is the case in your house, do you really want to make the effort if one side of the door was painted for a reason?
