Do you have to drill holes into your door if you want it to be secure? I want to hang it over my pantry door but do not want to drill holes.

No need to drill holes. place over door. I bought 3M Command small hooks and placed them horezonal to grasp onto the wire rack to keep it from banging when opening door. this all works well & will be easy to move when the time comes with no damage to the door.

I did drill holes in my door, and used the plastic brackets furnished to mount to a wall. This made a very tight, solid installation. But you should be able to buy some removeable, glue-tape brackets, and use them just as well. The shelves worked very well for us.

We did not drill holes. It rattles a bit when we open the door but it's not bad.

Initially I hung it over my door. Maybe because I open my door so quickly that it would lift up a little on the bottom and move around each time I opened and closed my door. A friend of mine tied a white twisty wire from the pantry shelf unit to the pantry door know to secure it on the bottom half without having to mount it ( thereby not drilling holes ). I went ahead and drilled holes and secured it to my door - it's wonderful and never moves !

Hi S.O. - No, you don't need to drill holes. There's two brackets at the top that fit over the door. And the shelving units are in 2 separate pieces that you loop to connect. If you swing the door super fast it can cause the bottom shelf to bang against the door which I wouldn't encourage. Overall it's a great product!

no you do not have to drill holes over your pantry door. My is on my door and is very secure.

I have used 2 small command hooks to attach it to the inside of the cabinet door, it hangs well. I believe screws will work fine too but that will give you holes in the cabinet door. its a personal preference thing.

Has anyone actually tried this with the "Command" brand hooks as the original poster asked? The provided, over the door hooks are just fine. I'm curious as to if you could use Command hooks so that you don't see anything popping over the front of the door. I would assume Command hooks are not strong enough for this so I am contemplating just screwing the rack into my door...would prefer not to though!

Terry, No, I did not have to drill any holes to support the draft guard. It slips under the door and the larger size ensures that it will get stuck under the door. It slides very smoothly and works great.

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. ☺

Not at all, although it comes with some screws and they say if you attach them it will be more stable but you don't have to because it is very stable once you hang it on the top of the door. So the screws I didn't use them, they are not neccassary.

Shin, No need to make a hole. It comes with a hook that will hang from the door. You can use any doors you'd like in your home. That's what I liked about this. I bought this for my grandson when he visits. He is only 1-1/2 years old so when I move from room to room I take the goal. I hope this helps you. Oh and by the way, we love it.

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.

Because of the way it is installed it is really up to you as far as the placement within the door frame. That is part of the reason I own this model. My girlfriend uses it for hanging her yoga swing so I wanted something sturdy and reliable. The twist in or wrap around kind just lack the safety.

I had got the product and it doesn't need holes to be installed. but when I saw my friend's door frame I knew that this product would hurt the frame a lot. the frame will be broken in a long term. but if you don't mind, it would still work alright.

My husband mounted it and didn't have any problems. I would recommend mounting it and not using the door hanger part. He used the screw wall mount things.

We mounted on the door permanently because it comes with little screws that you use to secure it go the door. The screws that were included were however too long for our thin door. We bought shorter ones at the store. When we put it together we used the over the door hook as a guide to start. I would suggest using the over the door hanger part otherwise there *may* not be enough door securing mounts/screws for you to really be able to position it without it moving or being weighted down too heavily. The rack itself must be secured to the door or it would flip everywhere. It is the type of system you must secure in order to be useful. So yes I think you could just mount it to the door but depending on how many shelves/baskets you want and how high you stretch it, without using the door hanger, you may run out of mounts.

I don't recall that there is any brackets on the top to mount, but the way the box opens, there would be no reason you could not drill holes through the top and mount under a cabinet. The front door drops down when opening, and it would fit that way.

The over-the-door hooks are optional. It comes with plastic brackets that loop around the wire frame and screw to the wall/door. I recommend getting more if you can find them at a hardware store.

The door really make this cabinet! I think I would look for something without doors if I didn't want them on. I would be OK I guess, but there would be holes were the door goes.

my door previously had a hole. you can buy a hole template. there is a pull already on it. you can see it on the picture to the right, looks like a hook. you just push that in and the hook pops out for you to grab onto when the door is all the way in the pocket. i bought a pocket door kit to install my door at home depot if you are making a pocket door from "scratch" fyi!

Hi Brian, I installed the lock on my cabinet but I never use it. I am not sure if it leaves a hole or not.
