Some reviews say it has to be drilled into wall/door jamb. Description doesn't say. Does this need to be screwed in?

Lol, I can only speak for us but it works for us well without being drilled. My husband was in a hurry to open the back door and forgot it was there and tried and tried to open it and couldn't and we just had it wedged in the door down close to the bottom. We havent drilled anything and it works great

The bracket that holds it up is attached to the door with 2 screws. The bar itself is attached to the jam with 2 screws also.

You have to drill holes for the screws into the far side door frame of the stationary part of your door and the outer edge of the sliding door.

To be installed correctly it must be drilled and screwed in place, but its easy to do. However you could extend it and lay it on the ground.

I would think screwed in, but I'm not sure, it's pretty much already put together, you just have to position the high middle one. not a problem

It can be installed afterwards, but it is very difficult. It has to be assembled in pieces inside the cabinet as it won't go in the door and the nature of the tight space makes it very difficult to squeeze in there. Have some long screw bigs and plan on using a ratchet set with a small screw bit for tight corners. It took about 2 hours to get it in after all the planning and manipulation, but it was well worth it, the unit it GREAT.

You would need to screw it to the wall. If you are ok with drilling your siding then you would need to drill trough the siding and screw it to the OSB (Oriented Strand Board) (or whatever is behind the siding).

Use supplied screws. Relatively easy installation, easy to use once installed. Take care to align the wall and door pieces and it will work like a charm.

Yes it doesn't have to be screwed down. If your existing cover is flush, then this cover won't stay in place, however, since there would be nothing to anchor it.

Yes it needs to be attached to the top of the existing door jam . It's pretty flimsy too . I'm using it in a vacation lake house as a temporary fix but I would get a better one next time . Hope this helps .

The gate comes with hardware to make it swinging door, or a pressure mounted gate. For both options there are screws with a rubber end surface that go on the gate, and press against a plastic base to receive it mounted on the wall. Yes, either way one have to screw hardware into the wall, so if you are concern with patching walls after this might not be your first choice. In general, I believe is a awesome gate and the wood finish give it a more solid and elegant finish than the regular metal or plastic gates.

Yes you definitely have to drill it in but it comes with everything you'll need to mount it.

I installed mine in a wall. It works great. Easy to install. I had no issues with putting mine in the wall instead of cutting into a door.

Usually, you need to position and install it through peephole. But if you door frame is thin enough (like ~3 in), you can try to install in the door frame.

if it is a solid wood door, I see no reason why not because it needs to be screwed onto surface. When its closed it locks into place... I love mine but its attached to a wall in my laundry room...

I installed it to a stud in the wall,. The screws that came with it are really long. It works just fine for me. Hopefully that helps!

It MUST be bolted into the walls studs to ensure proper hold. I suggest getting a stud finder before installing.

Yes, it may be bolted to a wall or hard surface such as the floor, or a permanently mounted shelf, etc. Bolt holes are included.

From the description here, I'm pretty sure it needs to screwed into the door frame. I didn't install it, so I can't answer that from experience. I have, however, been sleeping in the guest room, the doorway to which is where this is installed - and yes, I could close the door. I could also easily move the swing to one side when it wasn't in use.
