Has anyone tried attaching it to a wall with 3M Command strips? My kitchen backsplash is granite and I don't want to drill holes. Much appreciated.

I used 3M two sided tape over ceramic tile back splash. It worked great one 2x2inch on each end

I'm not sure it will work because the magnet is strong and when removing the knives repeatly I think it would loosen ove time.

I used Command™ Picture Hanging Strips. In fact I use those Command™ strips for practically all of my wall decor now. I love them.

Do not use the command strips it comes with! Mine fell off the wall less then 12 hours after I put it up and cracked the bag holder. So disappointing. And I have to wait on approval to exchange it, which is even more frustrating.

I would say that might be kind of difficult to affix the cover to the wall without some sort of adhesive or mechanical fastener. I would possibly explore some double sided tape options. Perhaps, something like this might work - 3M Heavy Duty Mounting Tape - But I certainly wouldn't know.

I don't have a issue. But I did anchor it in place so I don't move it myself while I'm working at my desk. I used clear 3M command strips in each corner. I can't really tell they're there.

There are two countersunk holes in each base-plate, meant to take #10 (or #12) flathead screws, with drywall anchors if necessary. If you don't want to drill holes in your wall, you could use other methods, depending on the total weight of the items you'd be hanging. Afraid I don't know what "Command Strips" are, so can't advise about those, one way or the other. If you do use the screws the bases were designed for, the racks will hold a great deal of weight: I hang three cast iron skillets, two Teflon® skillets and 3 or 4 miscll. utensils on just one of the Ikea racks I have, and it's perfectly stable.

you could probably use the sticky part (the command strip, available in packages with just the sticky strip) to stick a clothespin to the wall and use that. worth a try

I'm Not sure if command strips will be strong enough to hold this thing. The issue is that for the knives to attach and detach nicely the mount has to be firmly attached with no wiggle or play. I used 3M outdoor tape to attach mine which worked fine but that stuff is strong and difficult to remove so it might not be applicable for you. You might be able to put the large command strips across the entire length and make it work. Also keep in mind the weight of the knives you are hanging.

It is very poorly made and has no built in way to either hang it on a wall or magnetically stick it to a metal surface. This is accomplished by use of double sticky tape to stick the 4 magnetic strips (included) to the back of the board. The sticky tape could also be used to mount it to your wall but would ruin your wall when removed. If you plan to hang on your wall, I would suggest using something like Command products to protect your walls.

if you really truly trust command strips with whatever you plan to hang on these...there are two screws in each end to secure to the wall... i rather think the screws would do less damage to your wall should you want to take it down and move it for any reason... my ONLY experience with command strips was disastrous to the wall (and i can't imagine it looking good to have that under the base pieces?)... and since only the rim would be afixed to the command strips... i recommend the screws... but you could always try it ... and after the disaster THEN you could use the screws :o) good luck!!! if you really truly trust command strips with whatever you plan to hang on these...there are two screws in each end to secure to the wall... i rather think the screws would do less damage to your wall should you want to take it down and move it for any reason... my ONLY experience with command strips was disastrous to the wall (and i can't imagine it looking good to have that under the base pieces?)... and since only the rim would be afixed to the command strips... i recommend the screws... but you could always try it ... and after the disaster THEN you could use the screws :o) good luck!!!

It depends on your particular situation. You may be able to use 3M hooks that require no drilling or damage to the walls. IF this is a problem for you I would definitely recommend giving the 3M adhesive hooks (the ones with the pull tab for removing) a shot first. Otherwise, use screw in hooks to hit the wall stud and/or drywall anchors such as the tornado anchors that grip really secure. Either of these will, unfortunately, put holes in your wall. It can be repaired pretty easily if say you're renting and have to move out and make sure everything is fixed back for the landlord by using either a calk or drywall mud and putty knife and some carefully tinted paint to touch it up. Didn't mean to get technical but wanted to help you out as much as I could. Good luck.

I use mounting tape and so far no issues. You have to do it right though. First, get 3M Outdoor Mounting Tape (red). Clean the metal plate and the surface you're sticking it to with rubbing alcohol and wait an hour. The back plate will fit TWO strips of the tape side-by-side if you stretch it a little. Get all the tape you can on there. Press the plate firmly into the wall for thirty seconds to a minute and don't hang anything from it for an hour. If you do all that you SHOULD be OK. Again, I haven't had problems, but... it definitely is a risk.

Just need a drill to make holes in the wall for the anchor mounts (I suppose you could twist / push a large phillips head screwdriver through a sheet rock wall if you were careful, but make sure it's not larger than the anchors), and a screwdriver to screw the screws in. Might want to put a level up too so it's not mounted crooked when you're done.FYI mine did not align with studs, so I used those special expanding sheet rock wall anchors

Probably...if you pre-drilled pilot holes thru the plastic first. As I mentioned in a previous response, I have had amazing success with COMMAND strips. The kind advertised for use of hanging posters. The double-sided tape it came with lasted 2-days. The Commanf strips have been up almost a year with no sign of distress.

I have used a lot of different command hooks but I have always used them on flat walls. Sorry :-(

Unfortunately, the included 3M Command Strips don't tend to work well on textured surfaces. They're designed to work on smooth, flat surfaces. If you'd like to know more feel free to email us at support@dockem.com.Thanks,ColbyDockem Support

im sure you can get some of those command stick strips or maybe even drill it, but i didnt hang mine on the wall and the board doesnt come with anything to do so.
