I assume that you alreay have the duct work in place, and the drywall over the duct. The problem is that there is nothing for the register screws to bite into. Instead of using the screws that come with the register, use "sleeve type - hollow wall anchors" (butterfly clips), they will expand into the space, holding the register in place. Hope this helps!

I had the same problem, so I added a couple of wire springs to the side of a plastic register (I haven't tried this with a metal one as they are heavier). A picture is worth more than words - I have a video on YouTube showing how to do this. Channel name is Grinch Biker, and video is called TWH Episode 21 - Install a heat register in a ceiling without screws.

Should you install a heating device in the ceiling or near the door?
Is this an either/or question, or a "Should I do this or not" question? What would make the most sense would be to install your heat source as close to the floor and as far from the door as possible. Since the heat rises, this would provide the most efficient heating of the room while preventing the loss of heat from drafts by the doorway.

Where in the ceiling would you install a heat lamp?
The heat lamp would be installed where it is needed. The only place the lamp is not permitted to be placed is over a doors swing radius. This is in the electrical code to prevent a door that is left opened and in a position directly under the lamp. The heat from the lamp has the ability to raise the temperature of the door to its combustion point and set it alight.
How do you install a heat register in a drop down ceiling?
If I am correctly understanding the question. You have a suspended ceiling and wish to add a register. Ok, two ways, the first is easiest. Get a 2`x 2` register and lay it in the grid in the place of a tile. Second, once you have selected the ceiling location for the register, lay the register in the center of the tile where it is going and trace out & cut the hole in the tile to accept the register and reinstall the tile into the ceiling grid and connect the duct. Make sure everything is properly supported and there is no stress on the tile.
