How easily can a thief pull this off the wall? Can I add epoxy to the stiky backing for a tighter hold? Thanks.

I wouldn't worry about an outside wall since the least bit of moisture will kill it. Mine lasted one day in the Florida humidity. Inside (and I don't know why you'd want it there since its solar) I'd imagine there's enough goop on it to make it stick. But yes even in the desert where this product might stand a chance of working its only adhesive and can easily come off. I would find a better product though.

A determined thief could pry this off a wall fairly easily. Epoxy would probably help although I would remove the adhesive strip before applying it. Scuffing up the surface with some coarse sandpaper would help it to adhere to the wall.

The sticky is very surprising strong. I added commercial grade adhesive because I stuck it on Belgium block. It would have held without it!

If you're worried a thief or vandals will tear it off just use the screws that come with it, or place it higher than someone can easily grab it w/o a ladder. I think vandals are more of an issue than a thief. Most thieves won't take the time to tear down light fixtures. They most likely avoid the area due to the light being on.

No. I had a lot of issues when removing these from my walls. The adhesive pulled pieces of the wall off. It may be possible with extreme precision. I tried to put care into taking it off but maybe I was not careful enough.

Yes, it would be removable. It really is not sticking very well on the wall at all. It would not take much time to pulll it off.

I bought this same board 6 months ago. We hung it on the wall with just screws...it is very secure.

What i did was put them on my wall using thumbtacks. So it's super easy to remove, When it's time to move out my apartment. Just don't use glue. And you should be fine.

It can simply be lifted off door. You could always secure it to a door or wall though with screws.

Double stick tape would be the most secure, but if you need it easily removable, you can use the swing out mounting tabs to screw it up (onto your cabinet that is).The unit itself is light so there's not much stress on it, the main concern is when you're plugging in your devices and they're a tight fit; that's when the most force is placed on the mount. Should be fine if you're careful and brace it with your other hand when using it with plugs that are unusually tight.

I think it would be trial and error as far as gluing it to that kind of surface. At the end of the day I used the wood screws and hide it near the bottom of the side of the house behind a bush. For me it's an emergency key if needed - not a day to day solution. The next issue would be, I would think, how easy it would be to pry off. Not that it would be easy to open. May need a torch or heavy tools. It is very well made. At issue - you might need to re think where you want to put it.

I guess it depends on where you live :) For someone to steal it they would need two ratchets, one to hold the huge no wiggle bolt that goes through mount, into the hitch and then into a HUGE nut on the other side and 3-5 minutes of no one looking to work on it. I figured for the price of this, it was a risk I was willing to take and so far no problems. I think anyone who just walked by and looked down at it would think there was no way that thing is coming off easily.

It is designed to be removable from it's wall mount so it can be emptied. So, I would think it could probably be easily stolen.

It depends on your particular situation. You may be able to use 3M hooks that require no drilling or damage to the walls. IF this is a problem for you I would definitely recommend giving the 3M adhesive hooks (the ones with the pull tab for removing) a shot first. Otherwise, use screw in hooks to hit the wall stud and/or drywall anchors such as the tornado anchors that grip really secure. Either of these will, unfortunately, put holes in your wall. It can be repaired pretty easily if say you're renting and have to move out and make sure everything is fixed back for the landlord by using either a calk or drywall mud and putty knife and some carefully tinted paint to touch it up. Didn't mean to get technical but wanted to help you out as much as I could. Good luck.

I think it would fall off when it opens. Plus it would also be easy for someone to steal.

The safest way would be to put a screw/nail in the wall. The unit has a slotted hole for a device with a head to safely hold the unit to the wall. It is light enough however, to use double sided tape or velcro which would be better than tape. I would reccomend the screw, should you have to change the battery, just pick the unit off of the wall.

I might add that if put on drywall like I did, that the screws be screwed into a plastic expander to hold it tight. You do not want to accidentally pull the tie holder off the wall. It is not that heavy, but better to be safe.

It's pretty sturdy and the hook is a loop so under normal outdoor conditions it shouldn't fly off the wall. Outdoors eh...never thought of that. Great idea. As Mozarkian said, I would put on a sealant to avoid rust.

Depends on the weight of the frame and the surface you are hanging it on. I used some small brackets to attach it to the wall and they hold it securely. The material isn't that heavy and if the frame isn't heavy, it doesn't take much to attach this.

You can secure it with some of the double sided tape that came with it, but it doesn't give you very much...I found it to be to flimsy to stay under my door...I really think the product is pretty worthless!!
