How to screw this hook into a solid timber door?

[Amateur_Hour]

I bought this hook to install on the back of my son’s bedroom door, but I have no idea how to screw it into the door. Any ideas please? The screw is fixed into the hook so there’s no way to use a screwdriver. Help appreciated, thanks.

Good morning @Amateur_Hour 

I can't tell from your photo if the top of the plastic handle has a central 'trap door' that can be removed, revealing a cavity and the screw head - or the screw is molded into the plastic.

"The screw is fixed into the hook"

I suspect the latter then. If so, you would use whole handle (providing the torque) to drive the screw in, after you pre-drill a small hole.

Let us know how you get on. 👍

I'm with the ever-helpful @Noyade. The best approach would be to pre-drill a small hole, then you should be able to screw the hook into the door using your hand.
