This looks like a great, easy to use holder, but if I hang it on a high quality wood cabinet door, will it scratch or is there a protective component?

While it hanging it seems OK; it's when I shut it when I was concerned too; it hits the wood. (I live in an apartment building, though.) it doesn't come with anything to protect it; what you see is it. It works great. The hanger is one-inch wide, so if your door is that wide you should be OK without any problems. (Mine is thinner so it shakes a bit when I open and shut it.) i hope this helps!!

There is not a protective component but I have not had a problem with it scratching the cabinet. It fits securely and doesn't shift.

There are protective pads underneath on each side and top to protect the finish of your cabinet. My cabinet is painted and there are no scratches whatsoever on the wood.

It has inner pads on each side of the hood. It would help to directly contact your component. But in the case that your cabinet door is a high quality wood, you might custom padding for better protection.

Yes, the hardware that fits over the cabinet door has black rubber strips (like pieces of tape) on the inside of it to protect the door.

There is no protective component on it. We have been using it for about two months now though and it hasn't caused any scratches on our cabinet. It fits pretty snug so that may help.

There is a double stick tape on the back of the holder. My original installation lasted about 4 years before it became loose. When I installed my new one, I also put one screw in the provided hole to make the attachment permanent.

I think a few scratches and dings are probably inevitable, over time, because the wood is soft. But, my table still looks almost new because I wrap it with a couple of layers of bubble wrap in three strips--one strip wrapped around each end, with the sides folded over to protect the corners and a strip down the middle to hold the legs in place. I tape with clear wrapping tape or masking tape, if it sticks well. It takes a little bit of time to put it away this way, but has protected it between uses and the wrap is reusable. A friend who bought one had enough sewing skills to make a sturdy envelope of fabric, which I think is very nice. She cut a strip of fabric and tied it around the middle, to hold the legs in place and she bought cardboard corners from a framing store, to put around the corners, before she slips it into its open-ended envelope. I hope this was helpful.

The holder seems to be made of some perhaps galvanized metal, not plastic-coated. It is exposed to moisture all the time because I use it for draining flatware after washing. There are no signs of rust.

It does not scratch the door. And the only issue I have is if I want to close the door I have to push or pull a little harder so the lock is in place. Hope this helps.

This napkin holder is solid metal, with a brushed finish. It's not coated to look like metal. So as long as you don't scratch the finish with an abrasive cleaning tool, you should be fine. By the way, I really like this item - you will be pleased. I also bought some small trivets that sort of match it in design.

I used this on a bathroom vessel sink countertop(teak)...but i put over several coats of tung oil as that was my initial plan. It is 100% water/toothpaste etc proof. As far as scratches, I don't know if anything can protect wood from that...what application are you thinking that would expose it to scratching...

I mount paper towel holders like this on the back of cabinet doors a lot. Just mount them high, so the towels don't unroll and hit the ground or bottom of the cabinet.

The door that I use it on is an all wood door with no paint but it has not scratch the wood in any way. I hope this helps.

Wow, I am not sure how to verify your question without really trying to scratch it. I will say though, I keep it mounted on my night stand and I occasionally bang it against my desk and have not scratched it. I would say it is as susceptible to scratches about the same as a bathroom mirror, which in my case is not easily. I really dig this mirror - Hope this helps.

I can't see where it would damage the door. That said, where I live right now, I am using it on a metal door. I can say there have been no indentations or anything to the door. The piece is small, but holds securely.

I've only had it for about 1 month, but haven't had any problems. The plumber that installed it did scratch a part of the shower arm with the pliers he was using, so I would recommend putting a cloth between or something. Other than that, the finish certainly looks sturdy.

Asked my hubby who installed it, and he said he more than likely bought screws to fit (not using the one's enclosed with the product). We also mounted it on the outsideof a cabinet, so not a very thick piece of wood. Love the holder, it allows for more counter space now.

It shouldn't scratch that easily if your careful with placing the items on it. Its made of styrene plastic that should stand up to normal placing of items.

A coated magnet, should not scratch or mar anything it is placed on. If that helps with your decision. I got this one to hold smaller screws and bolts. I have a larger one for bigger jobs and I can use both to keep up with left and right sides of anything I take apart.

This holder comes with the screws needed to mount it. Adhesive tape holding that much weight just could not hold up long. The provided screws are the "molly" type that are designed for hollow wall board/sheet rocked applications. Those have a plastic sheath/anchor that goes into the wall board first and then the screw goes into the anchor. Molly screws hold more weight and the anchor helps keep them from pulling out of the wall. The Mollies will work to keep this holder on the wall far better than adhesives or plain screws can. If you are careful and don't tug on it, it will probably stay put for years. But, I like things to stay put and not have to worry about them. It is always better to mount things that get a lot of use and/or hold weight into two studs, one at both ends. When that isn't possible, situating it so that at least one screw goes into a stud is the next best thing. It only works if it stays on the wall.

It will scratch anything that is softer than the plastic that its made of. For example, I don't have paint on the corner of the wall where mine is setup. I suggest adding some rubber or felt feet to keep it from scratching things up. Just make sure what ever you add is large enough to not be swallowed in case it comes off.
