Can I use the 3M Velcro tape to attach this to a cabinet wall? Is there enough of a side on the back to attach the tape?

It is heavy but I used the Command Strips for picture hanging and it worked perfectly. Just make sure you use at least 4 on each side. Hope this helps.

There is plenty of space on the back. The item is heavy though so I would be careful.

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.

There are 2 ways to attach these: with screws or with the provided 3M double sided glue tape. So unless you want to use neither and use your own velcro, the answer is no.

Yes, You would just gave to be careful with the tape from it. Or we used extras tape and use duck tape seem to be fine.

No. There is "hook" on one side and "loop" on the other. You should get Velcro with industrial strength adhesive if you want the Velcro to be sticky on one side. You may want to visit a Home Depot or Lowes to see the options and then come back to Amazon to get the better price. The adhesive Velcro has limitations. I tried to used the sticky Velcro on cloth and it did not hold up. You may have to get Velcro without the sticky side and use epoxy to attach the Velcro permanently.

I don't think tape would work with these. I also bought a second set of these to put on some other cabinets, but you have to be careful of the design of the cabinet. The first ones worked well with a thicker edge, with enough room to drill. The second set I tried to put in was on a beveled edge, thinner wood cabinet. The hole for the magnet would have drilled completely through, so they were useless. I'd say you need at least 3/4"-1" of depth, and almost 2" of width at the edge of the cabinet to be safe.

They are very light so using double sided tape might work. I don't recommend since over time it probably will fall. These are holding up great in my cabinets.

Yes, there is the metal backing piece and I suppose tape could be used. The magnetic pull is pretty high and I'd hate to see someone go to pull off one knife & the whole thing pull loose from the wall or cabinet. There are 2 wood screws for the wall piece and then the front piece is magnetically held in place. If you don't want to use screws, I'd say give it a try and see how it does.

Sure, velcro with automotive quality 3M tape will work. The unit doesn't weigh much

You can but you may or may not have to re-enforce the two sided tape but it should be ok

My experience with their mounting tape is that it doesn't work well, so I purchased Velcro with an adhesive backing and it works like a charm.

There is no reason you couldn't attach it with double sided tape. There are times it is nice to remove it, though.

No. You need 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Mounting Tape, Clear (4010) It's heavier and holds more weight.

The product is bundled with adhesive tape and screws so the answer to your question is yes. I like 3M VHB tape if you want a stronger tape (not bundled) and cannot use the screws. However, I do not like this product overall because the LED back-lights are not bright enough.

If I remember correctly it is a hallow back. Either way, I do not think Velcro strips would be strong enough to hold this to your wall :(

The velcro itself will never let go- I could see it holding as much as 35 pounds. The problem is the backing adhesive. It will peel off before the velcro will making this stuff not much more useful then double sided tape.

It is flat on one side... The intended use has the flat side facing out. However, I think it would be too heavy to secure with tape
