Install with screws instead of tape: Could I install with screws instead of the included tape and get a decent result?

I had thought about using screws myself, but it is a bit difficult to try and keep the "flap" open while trying to drill holes and putting screws in. If you try it, I'd use very very flat head screws. I just used thin wood .... I believe even popsicle sticks would do....pre-drill small holes in them, use little tacks to minimize damage to walls....then use the tape again the popsicle sticks, avoiding the adhesive on your drywall.

Yes, that's exactly what I did . It's a lot easier to change with Velcro than to keep using screws.

I used 3m double sided tape. You can also use a small screw as there is a mounting hole on the back of the unit.

It can be fastened with screws, which are supplied with the drywall fasteners if I remember correctly. Or, I think a strong double sided tape would work. Personally, I would use the screws, less damage to drywall vs tape.

Well, yes, but I found them kind of useless. I tried to use them but eventually I decided to loosely tape them up and position them that way. I used industrial strength double sided tape to install mine in my cabinets instead of screws. As long as you clean the surface really really well first they stick great! Good luck!

Use zip ties to hold all of the pieces in place when screwing themIn- will save you a huge headache

I used the screws & mounting parts in the package. It took me about 15 minutes to install.

Yes.. in fact you can use both screw and the tape. However, there is no need to screw it to the wall. I have installed these in every home we've owned and never had one come loose from the wall. I apply the doublesided tape and the silicone only. In fact, when renovating one time I had to remove one in order to do that wall. Talk about a chore to get off!! They STAY.

We mounted ours with plastic anchors and screws. Our assumption was that the tape would damage the drywall.

No just your original screws should do the trick, I also had wood grips on mine

If you want to get the best performance then use the screws. If you use double sided tape, magnets probably won't be held properly and your cabinet won't be secure at all.

It has tape. Make sure when you line it up you are sure of the placement. It was easy to install, but I can see where poor placement would create a problem.

No. It comes with a double sided sticky tape pad that works fine. You could also use some 3M VHB tape or similar. It's not heavy, so the tape should work fine. I went for overkill and used the tape and the screws.

I think it would be better to use shorter screws than Velcro (even heavy duty).

Mine is installed on the wall, but you might try that spongy double-sided tape - something like this: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotch-Mounting-125-Inch-314/dp/B0007P5G8Y/ref=sr_1_10?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1412563943&sr=1-10&keywords=double+sided+tape

I do not think so. It comes with a double-side tape thing, but I don't remember screws. I'm sorry I can't tell you definitively.

Use drywall screws and it should work out just fine. If you do in an 'MLV installation' search on the Internet you'll get plenty of good suggestions. Good luck!
