Does this mount securely to the kitchen drywall? Will I need drywall screw anchors? Does the block wobble at all when you pull knives off of it?

It comes with everything you need, even drywall mollies I think. We have a tile backsplash so my husband just used gorilla glue epoxy to mount it,now I think the house would come down before it does. The magnetic pull on it is awesome, I think you will be happy and it was worth even penny for me.

We mounted ours on the side of the kitchen cabinet. It came with two screws and a template for marking the cabinet (or wall, case may be) for drilling a hole that matches. The block is extremely sturdy because it was mounted this way and doesn't wobble at all.

It will mount as securely as the wall behind it allows for, and I have used anchors. No wobble and that is a good thing as the magnet is strong.

I used and recommend anchors in drywall. The included ones that came with the block were nice beefy ones and I used them. I have to think screws alone into drywall would work loose over time. If you have any wobble after the install you could tighten the screws a bit more into the anchors until the final install is flush and firm to the wall. This mounts by slots on the back of the block sliding onto the screw heads so you control how tight the install is to the wall.

This comes with screws for either wood or drywall. There is a slight wobble when you pull knives off, but it is secure.

Yes, it will mount securely. You have to play with the distance of the screw head from the wall to get the board tight enough so that there is no movement. The block does not wobble at all when knives are pulled off.

It's quite strong for small to medium sized knives. I wouldn't try to mount a butcher knife, but everything else should be ok!

I think it would. Mine is already mounted parallel to the wall, but it is very strong. Mine currently holds 12 knives from a small paring knife to a large chef knife. The trick is to "pry" the knife off to break one of the two magnetic strips. But I would be confident mounting parallel to the floor.

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall. The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

We mounted into drywall. But I also used anchors rated for 60#. Works well.

I'd be nervous to hang it up with anything but the screws given with it. Given the weight of the bar and the knives stuck on it, I'd worry that it would fall, especially when you're pulling something off of it. If you have tape that you know can withstand that kind of weight, I'd say try it. I've had knife magnets fall when not properly attached and it's scary!

I mounted mine to drywall using a 100lb wall anchor. Bit of overkill but never have to worry about something going wrong. A stud would work perfect as well. The rubber feet work great to make a nice secure and sturdy base against the wall.

I did use the screw-in anchors for drywall just to me safe. i do not intend to put a lot of weight in the racks, but secure is better.

No dry wall anchors or toggle bolts. If you need those it might be a good idea to pick up some. We attached ours right to the studs in the wall and it has been okay no slippage.

Short answer is you will be fine. It takes two screws to mount and does come with the necessary hardware to mount onto drywall. Mounting into the stud is the best option in which case a normal wood screw can be used and would only leave a smaller hole than the anchors. These are very inexpensive guitar hangers and I wouldn't trust it to hold an instrument of any value.

it's a pretty strong magnet, but not sure about hanging with the knives hanging down like that...if they fall off...oh boy. We have it mounted on the wall and they stay at that position very well...sometimes it's even hard to pull them off... but, again I would be worried if it's under the cabinet. If the knife was lite weight...maybe....

You should be able to us this rack on wood- I don't see why not. You won't need to use the anchors that go into dry wall but do use the wood screws that come with it. Good luck!

Make sure you use. GOOD drywall anchors (toggles or similar). Mine is mounted with no stud. Holding strong for a year fully loaded (about 10 heavy duty AS pots & pans)

It is strong enough to work horizontally, however if you mount on a cabinet door, be gentle opening and closing the door as a slam could still dislodge knives

This is safe to mount on drywall. I'm not 100% sure on hardware as it was mounted in my classroom by our maintenance department.

It is held up by 2 mounting clips, it depends on your wall, if you have hollow drywall nails may not do it. Anything solid like wood nails will work.

Make sure you use the anchor properly by placing directly into a stud, or using a drywall anchor. But yes, it's very secure. It does allow for some space for the baseboard. There isn't really a noticeable gap behind it, and the unit does not have a noticeable lean. The room I have them installed in had basic, low-profile baseboards. I'm now sure how it would work if you had bulky, ornate baseboards/trim. I'm very pleased with these units (I have 2).
