Does this pot rack use toggle anchors or can you fasten it with only screws?

this would depend on your walls, I used the wall anchors provided to secure it better. Due to length size, I could only find 1 stud on my wall in my apartment, so I had no choice. The rack itself is also quite sturdy and heavy in weight, plus the added weight of the pots I would recommend using the anchors.

We used toggle anchors because of the amount of weight we are putting on it as well as in being directly installed into dry wall. If you can install it directly to studs, you might not have to use toggle anchors.

It came with screws and those plastic thingies you pound into the wall first, that will hold the screw in better when they expand a little as the screw goes in. Not sure what a Toggle Anchor is. Sorry to be so little help!

The pin screws into the hitch to hold it steady and there is a safety pin that keeps it from getting loose. Would be hard to add a locking pin. I just run my locking cable through the hitch's safety chain loop so the rack can't be removed easily.

I have pots and pans hanging from 4 hooks, plus lids and utensils. Other reviewers are correct, taking the time to find a wall stud & hanging it correctly is the only way to go! Otherwise you'll have a 'decorative' pot rack vs something that is actually 'useful'. It is attractive and sturdy and I'd buy it again

yes it can be fastened with the small screws but it is not necessary to be secure

I have a dozen pots/pans hanging plus assorted utensils, like ladles, strainers etc. I secured the supplied grill on the inside of the potrack with tie-clips before hanging the utensils, and bought some extra hooks at a hardware store for those. The amount of weight the toggle-bolts support depends on the thickness of the drywall in your ceiling: it's 265 lbs. for 1/2" drywall, and 356 lbs. for 5/8" drywall. That's probably more pots and pans than you'd ever come close to finding room for anyway.

ours was installed using butterfly drywall anchors. I think they came with the pot rack

yes,there are u-bolts included to mount to a rack if you wish.4 to eight holes will need to be drilled in the container itself,or,another option is simply use some tie down or adjustable type straps.Very easy to mount and remove..Its roomy and very well made...

It depends on how many iron skillets you want to hang from it, and how big they are. This is a very sturdy rack. I brought 2 racks to fit my entire set of pots and pans plus a few more. I would say that the deciding factor would be whether or not you can get each side into a stud when mounting. I have one side in a stud and the other on a butterfly anchor and they hold a lot of weight perfectly.

I can't speak for everyone, but mine did indeed come with a full set of screws for securing gear to the rack. If you find you do need to get crews, they are a common size and threading, so while it may be an inconvenience, it is not insurmountable.

I just checked my rack and I don't think it can be locked. I really like mine- so much I got two. No problem so far.

Yes. The actual hooks that the pots hang on are "v" shaped and simply sit over the rack's edge. So you can use all of them or less, you can hang pots from either side of the "v" hook, and you can position them wherever you want around the edge.

There isn't a locking mechanism with the rack. It's easy to use the usual bike cable lock looped through a bracket at the hitch, when leaving unattended. That's a secure fix for me.

Toggle bolts won't support the weight of the pans. Screw hooks into ceiling joists.

it came with 3 screws (maybe a mistake) because it has 4 holes. They are not very long, hence I don't recommend hanging a heavy pot from it. But you could use longer screws

This can be mounted without studs but it definitely needs anchors. Toggle bolts are what I used and it is working great! It comes with plastics anchors but after reading some reviews, I went out and bought toggle bolts.

Quite simple. There are tethers in the front that tighten or loosen the anchors. And once tightened it stays in place.

The rack does not have a quick release lever. It uses a hex screw which would be an extra step.
