Could I hang this rack on the back of a door (rather than on the wall)--or are the screws too long? Would they go all the way through the door?

I guess it depends on what your door is made of, and how thick it is. But I think you could safely install this on a standard wooden door.

It's not designed to fit on the 'back' of the door, although you *can* mount it there. The downside is that instead of the top of the doorjam pressing the top over-the-door-hanging-part against the door, it the top part hangs loosely on the door, making the climber extra wobbly. I 'fixed' this by shoving pieces of cardboard behind the black hangers until they were tight against the door. It's not ideal, because the cardboard does show from some angles. But that is a work-around if you want to mount it on the 'back' of a door.

NO! The screws supporting the rack have to be mounted well above the center of gravity or the excess load will be placed on the rack instead of transferring that load to the stud in your wall.

Definitely needs to be screwed in, especially if you load it up. The metal hooks that hang over the door seem to bend quite easy and won't hang if you don't screw the racks to the door.

No, you do not *have to* make holes in the door. You simply attach the hanging brackets and then hang it from the top of your door. Depending on the thickness of your door, it may have a snug or loose fit. If you prefer it to be snug against the door, then you can use the screws but you do not have to. I mounted mine on the wall because I have a longer ironing board due to my over 6' tall family members. ☺

The screws are no more than 1/2 inch long. The base were the screws go into is concave as well. I have mine mounted on the frame of a widow above the kitchen sink. I would suggest mounting it on the frame area of the cabinet...not just the cabinet's thin middle section. Even if the screws that are supplied are to long once you receive it... You can always pick up some new screws that work with your cabinet. The rack itself is impossible to find in stores! It's a good deal! I'm happy with my purchase....

I didnt mount mine on the door, but they come with screws and anchors, two different lengths. My pantry is really deep, so mine are mounted on the forward side of shelves against the interior walls (i have 6 that are full and still need more. I like spices). If you want a visual, it was inspired by pinterest pantry organization.

I hung it on the wall behind the door and it works perfect for me. When the door is open, it hides the tie rack. I would think that hanging on the door would cause the ties to slip off since most ties are silk. Too much movement on a door.

Note: you should consider whether you really want to hang this or use the wall mount version. Cabinets aren't always adequately reinforced /rigid for bearing the load this could apply. For sub-cabinet mounting you might prefer to use long bolts rather than the supplied hardware: you only need 1/2" above the wood bars (to clear the hooks' tops for sliding) but using supplied hardware would drop the bars inches lower and that could pointlessly reduce your counter-top access.

The unit I purchased is a wider variation ... but I would think this size would be perfect on a wooden door. As the other reviewer says, the hooks are pretty sturdy so be sure the door doesn't bang into something.

It depends on whether it can hang on your door or not. Mine could not hang on the inside but i bought christmas wreath hooks to hang them from the door myself and secured them with velcro without screws. otherwise the most secure way to hang it would probably be with screws. In other words, yes, but you will need extra hardware depending on your situation.p.s. I love the thing even though it is annoying to buy extra parts and kind of crooked after putting together. Also, the two parts came apart on its own once when the button gave way.

This has two large hooks on the back that are perfect for a door. Mine is hanging on a closet door. I am using the styrofoam it came with in between the hoop and the door because my door is thinner than an average door. It works perfectly.

my door is about that width and it's not a sung fit, but the back of the hooks just lean on the door and it's not a problem. works great for me.

It is meant to go over a standard-thickness bedroom or closet door. It would not easily be mounted on a wall. The backboard is hard plastic with a U-shaped hard plastic bracket attached at the top -- very sturdy. If you had a cutting device for hard plastic, I suppose it could be cut off and somehow hung on a wall with Velcro or some kind of heavy tape. Probably not very aesthetically appealing.

Hi Lisa, i dont think so, cuz there is a place for the hanger to slip over the screws and drop in place. But the holes are small....

No. The bendy metal hooks that go over the door are designed for 1 1/4 inch thick doors or thinner. That said, the hooks hook into eyelet holes at the top of the fabric, so you could probably get different hooks and insert them instead. Or re-bend these ones--they're thin, and probably easily bent up.
