Do the mounting hardware do damage to the wall? I have damage-free 3M hooks. Is it possible to hang it on the hook with a string? Thanks.

Yes it does do damage to the wall. The frame has a hole on each side for sliding a nail into. The 3M hooks would also probably fit into the hole but the board would no longer sit against the wall. Or, you could probably figure out a way to attach a string to this hole and then hang off the hook but it'll require a little creativity.

I used the small key holder command damage-free hooks and they work great. I didn't use a string. I just put them on the wall like I would of put the screws. But I'm pretty sure the string idea would work. Just make sure you use picture frame wire. I used string to hold a medium size picture once and the string broke and my frame was shattered. Good luck.

The hardware itself doesn't damage the wall. But if you drive a nail into the wall to hang the boards then yes, obviously, you'll do some damage to your wall. The boards are very light and could easily be held with a string.

I would not recommend using these hooks at a weight that exceeds their rating, given that they are plastic. And there is no good way to distribute the weight among 3 hooks. Maybe 2, yes, but not 3. I would recommend metal hanger hardware; for example this one, rated at 200 pounds: OOK 55099 Heavy-Duty Drywall Hanger Supports Up to 200 Pounds

The heaviest item hung on the hook is a lightweight robe. I would think more about what are you using in the wall for an anchor. I did not install mine, someone else did and do not know what type/size screw/bolt/anchor used. It is hung on drywall.

It has three screw mounting holes on it. I just used the drywall anchors which were supplied and haven't had any issue. Looks Great Too

to the best of my knowledge there is no way to hang it on a wall. We don't need that application so I can't say for sure we may have thrown bracket out but it honestly does not look like there is any way to attach it to anything

No I did not mount it to the wall. It stands up perfectly if you push in the metal stand in the back. I've had it standing up against the wall for several months with no problem. I suppose you could add double-sided tape to the back to mount it more securely.

We had to use Molly bolts to secure it to wall but the length of screws worked fine. You can always go to your local hardware store and purchase longer screws/same diameter for $ little cost. Then it should work. Ours has held fast with no problems and we move it for use several times a day!

I can't remember that brackets for wall hanging came with this board. I would go to a handware store and look at the picture hanging brackets. It is a light board so you won't need a heavy duty bracket.Instructions are usually on the bracket package for hanging. I just have my board propped up against the wall in front of my computer. Good luck!

Hi Mike. Yes, I mounted this unit to the finished walls in my house. First, to answer your question, there is no damage to the drywall associated with the installation. The 4 holes you drill are hidden behind the mounting plates. However, the unit is pretty close to the wall, and I've had some...minor yet unexpected issues from use. First is that it's easy for your feet to strike the wall when doing pull-ups. Once you start exerting yourself, it's easy for your feet to swing around a bit. Avoid wearing shoes and this shouldn't be an issue. Secondly, I've noticed that over time, there are some stains on the wall that I can only assume are coming from sweat or saliva when I'm grunting out the final reps. As for installation, I have a couple tips that I uncovered while installing mine. First, find the center of just one stud. I use a stud finder, but then used a 1/64" drill bit to drill to the left and right, so when I was off the stud on each side, I could split the difference and be sure I was in the exact center. This unit mounts with large lag screws, and if you are not in the middle it could break out during use...anyway, then what you want to do is mount this first unit to the wall, but only tighten up the lag screw just unit the unit holds itself on the wall. Then, mount the pull-up cross bar to the wall mount, just getting it slightly snug. Then, place the second wall mount up and bolt the cross bar to it, finger tight. Using a level, parallel the mounting plates and mark your holes. This is important because there is very little play between the cross bar and the mounts; if you are off by even a little bit, the bolts won't drop into place. By having the cross bar in place and finger tight before you drill your second set of holes solves this. Oh, one last thing. The foam grips are comfortable, but don't hold up well at all if you are using gloves. Be prepared to buy some rubberized grip tape within a few months. All in all, this is a very solid unit for the price, and I'd buy one again. Best, Bill.

I have the same item. I would **GUESS**: Try a"REAL" Hardware Store. Also... I chose to not use screws and so avoid holes in the wall. Instead, I **thoroughly** cleaned the painted wall surface and applied a NameBrand double-sided, permanent adhesive, FOAM mounting tape - FIRST, to the ENTIRE (Cleaned) back of the key hanger. You must trim the foam to fit and NOT SHOW from the front. PRESS FIRMLY to the wall. I used a cloth over a softwood block and "tapped " with a hammer to firmly set the hanger. I gave it 24hrs to bond - didn't HAVE to, BUT... Then I hung up the Keys, etc. I have had no issues.

I have used mine mounted to the wall for over a year now & have had no problems at all! Just make sure you use a strong enough lag bolt when doing so & you will have no problem!

It does not come with any wall mounting hardware nor instructions. If you wanted to mount it, you could put up a shelf and set it on that. Otherwise, you'd have to drill holes in it, etc. to create your own mounting system.

Yes it does come with the mounting hardware but it for hanging on the wall.

It has a metal ledge across the top. It should be fine. (I'm not sure what a 3M hook is) I hung mine on a nail.

I have never used it to hold up any wall hanging. My experience with this product makes me very hesitant to use it for your intended purpose. The weight of the art work will be a big consideration. If you are willing to give it a try, you would be a experienced source of information for the next potential user. Good Luck.

Some of you say it can hang on the wall and some say no. I only want to buy it if it's wall mountable. Let me know. ;-)

Hello Ali JuliaI wouldn't trust that hook on any surface. My experience with it was really bad. The adhesive tape on the back failed repeadily (usually in the middle of the night) I called 3m and they sent me new adhesive strips which also failed after about a month. I liked the design and that is why I purchased it at first but if you really want to use it I strongly suggest you screw it to the wall with a mechanical fastener otherwise you're in for a rude awakeing in the middle of the night!
