Probably a dumb question. How realistic are these? I want to fasten one next to the front door handle to discourage people from hanging fliers there.

They are realistic enough. I work with a guy that's an arachnophobia and I bought these to keep him on his toes. They look real enough to scare him so they should look real enough to stop people from hanging fliers.

They are not that realistic. At a distance, it may give someone a quick double take, but that's likely it.

Close inspection obviously plastic to touch but looks good at a glance. I use them in drawers for fun regularly

These are more suited to Australian type pull ups. I have more training to do before I can do at least 10 standard type pull ups, so I got these and use them in the Australian format. I'm getting stronger and plan on using the in the door frame type bar then. If you get these hoping to sort of have a set of rings attached to the wall, you may be wishing you could shorten them by 10 ft, they really aren't meant for that. You MAY be able to tie a knot close to the handle to achieve that, but then it would weaken the webbing.

think of these as nice brass coat hooks. If you could hang your bow from two coat hooks then these will work just fine.

Not certain how "dummy" you need. The only way these are affixed to the door is to have the grooved rod go through the door -- the knobs screw on to the grooved rod on either side of the door. They also really need a brass door plate on both sides of the door for the base of the handles to securely fit into in order to stabilize the handles. I have used these door knobs in doors with locking mechanisms that the rod slides through -- so that when the handle is turned the door latch opens. But I see no reason why the rod can't just go through the door to hold the two handles in place.

If positioned within the window slide frame. They are bilt as strong as the ones you'd get from your local hardware store!

They are fastened using screws. It is a very solid cost hanger and the hooks don't move even when heavily loaded. I'm really happy with it.

No problem, just be sure that your fasteners are attach to studs or thick wood... Enjoy

I would certainly hope so. They're holding up your house. Plus as I recall they are stronger than traditional joists, by far. Ok, that was a bit more flippant than I meant. Still I think you're safe.

Not really, they use a closure system to keep them closed. You could rig up some sort of fastener for them, but it would be awkward. I think they make something for French doors, keep looking!

I used them to hang some metal sculpture outside. I used 2 hooks and think it should support at least 7-8 lbs.

1. They are not thick enough to stand on their own. They a very flexible and need to be hung rather than free-standing. They have the c hooks to join them together in 3 pre-drilled holes - one hole on each corner and one in the middle (or they would sag). 2. I used them as a window decoration to obscure an ugly view of a neighbors unkempt yard and roofline. I hung 2-across & 2-down. Your measurement will depend on A)how high your ceiling is and B) if you plan on going floor to ceiling or is you are going to use fishing line to hang them a couple of feet below the ceiling. They will not be a hard, wall like surface and will move around as people bump into them or even in the breeze of an open door or window. Mine are very attractive in the window and serve their purpose of adding privacy and add to the overall look of my shabby chic office. Hope this helps.

They are mounted flush by two screws to hang on. I assume you could get the right sized masonry screws to use.

I have not but I used them to anchor huge shelters for my horses. The winds on the property are insane and they have not budged. One got lifted but once it took up the slack it went right down. I used rebar and a t post driver to get it in the hard ground. Easier and faster

There is a metal ring in each corner. So it's certainly possible to simply tie directly to those; however a fastener kits with clips and a tensioner makes it a much much easier install. It's all about convenience. If you're putting it up in a permanent location, with never an intention to move it or take it down and put back up (and you're good with knots), then I might just tie off directly, but if it's seasonal or you'll want to take it down on occasion, I'd invest $10-20 in the fasteners.

These are strong for their size, specified at 1.5 pound pull. The magnets will stick together. It is the weight of the plexiglas that determines if they will hold. I would use several magnets, attaching them to the door and plexiglas with a very strong adhesive.

You'd want to make sure you got the fastners into the ceiling joists and NOT the 1x4's for the lookouts. I've mounted several of these for people in my Home Repair Business. I've had a problem with the chains that come with it rusting within a year.

You can get hooks to put on the back to hang them from and store that sells frames but I would make sure your items and the hooks are really secure before hanging. I have a few with sharks teeth in them hanging and they seem to be holding well.
