Does the grip open up to 2 inches wide? I have a pretty wide wood headboard. Anyone else have trouble with a switch that shorts out?

While the clip technically opens to 2", it isn't deep enough to allow you to place it on something that wide. It would pop off for lack of a firm grip. This is ideally suited for something an inch or less in width. For the record, I love mine, but I don't think it would be right for your specific application. I've had no problems with the switch

the clamp will open up to only about an inch and no i have not any problems will the switch yet.

I am looking for one that can accommodate my bed. What did you wind up going with for your 2" headboard?

The grip opens a maximum of 1 1/8 inch wide. The switch on mine hasn't failed, but if it does it is a simple matter to replace it with a better quality that is commonly available.

It will open about 2 1/2 inches, clamps fine on my laminate bar, its almost 2 inches wide

I just stretch the bed out by pulling end to end. Never have problems, but then I've never really noticed a button as such.

The clamp is very tight and I was not able to clamp onto my headboard which is 1 and 1/2 inches wide I did find a. " plan B " for using it by placing a small decorative country ladder behind my bed and clamped the light to a rail of that ladder. Believe it or not, it looks really good and the ladder can be moved to the right or left depending on where you want it. I absolutely love the light and it's the only oerfect one I have seen. Perhaps a stronger grasp then mine could have attached it to my headboard but I am happy with the look as it is

I think it'll depend on what kind of box spring you have, regular versus low profile. I have a regular box spring and it does stick out a little bit, maybe two inches? Just enough so you don't pinch your fingers when you're fixing the bed, so by the time you fix it and put a comforter on, it covers nicely so when the bed is fixed the box spring doesn't show.

I measured my GripTight mount and it stretched to 3.0 inches, which is equivalent to 76 mm. I know the limit is stated as 2.8 inches or 72 mm, but it will stretch a little bit further.

I would say, it will probably fit. The wire hooks are pretty flexible. My headboard is about 2" and all it took was a pair of pliers and a little gentle adjusting to make it fit.

The rack is standard 19 inch wide but only 10 deep. It really depends on the depth of your switch.

I have a fluffy bed spread, it more than fills the space between the bed and the draws. The headboard should be 3-4 inches wider.

Yes. Both close grip and wide grip. However, wide grip is limited to the actual width of your door.

Some answers state 1, 1 1/2-2 inches while 1 answer states it can actually accommodate 3 inches. Is there anyone who knows exactly the clamp width? I have a 2 inches thick headboard therefore 1 1/2 would not work but if it can really accommodate 3 inches then it would work for me! :-) Thanks!

I think your board is too wide. Call or email company. They were great for me.

No, there is no grip surface on the board. It is all wood on both sides. That has not been a problem for us.

If you have the THICKEST part of the top knob flush against the wall, it looks to be about 3 & 3/4 inches. That would be as close as you could get it to the wall. My Drexel Heritage wooden headboard is only 1-1/2" thick, so there are definitely headboards that take up less room. There are also headboards with thinner knobs as well, I would imagine. This one is pretty much how the picture shows with the top knobs being the biggest thickness and thus preventing it being any closer to the wall. Hope this helps!

The switch is located about a foot from the lamps. I have mine wrapped around my iron bed so it stays right where I can reach it. You could attach it to almost any headboard with tape, velcro, etc. It is very handy

I think the attachment 'hook' is too wide unfortunately. the wood sides of changing tables is still just a shy thin for it.

It attached to my daughters headboard with room to spare. It opens pretty wide but I don't think it could be a super thick one.
