Does it have to be mounted to a solid wood door, or will apartment cheap doors suffice?

I mounted it directly into studs on a dry wall. Without knowing the weight of your quilt, I would think that you could still mount on a apartment door if you used anchors?

The rack comes with two mounting options. You can either mount it directly to the door using their provided hardware or you can use the included "over-the-door" hooks which slide over the top of the door and do not require any mounting hardware. That's the way I hung mine - it would be perfect for an apartment as there is no damage to the door.

The hanging quilt rack had the option of padded c-clamps that slipped over the top of the door, so I didn't have to mount it with screws. This works very well and is quite secure without leaving screw holes. I currently rent a mobile home and the inside doors are very light. I have had no problems.

It has brackets on the back that go over the top of the door. You would need to modify it to mount to a wall.

This will only work on a door frame since the top part of the bar sits on the molding of the top door frame while the sides of the bar presses against the side molding of the door frame. This bar does not require any mounting with screws to the door frame at all. You can easily put it up or take it down when you want.

Definitely needs to be screwed in, especially if you load it up. The metal hooks that hang over the door seem to bend quite easy and won't hang if you don't screw the racks to the door.

I did drill holes in my door, and used the plastic brackets furnished to mount to a wall. This made a very tight, solid installation. But you should be able to buy some removeable, glue-tape brackets, and use them just as well. The shelves worked very well for us.

Hi Craig, I used a piece of wood for years and it worked fine. This does seem to offer better security (if you need it) and it is very convenient. It is mounted inn the center verses at floor which will give more security. No more bending over to get the wood and it laying by the door on the floor. I personally like it better than the wood. Have a nice day.

It mounts to wood flat surfaces with wood screws internal to the box to prevent access or removal without combination. Good question on mounting to metal door frame. I would not be confident of any type bonding agent as it could be overcome by chemical reactions. If the door can be drilled through, I would recommend machine screws that are long enough to go through the door where lock washers and nuts could be used.

No, the over-the-door hanging does not secure to the door, however, depending on what type of door you have, it could mount to the door.

I have the same situation. It needs to be mounted inside the house as it pushes the door closed.

read about and you will find the answer. i live in a building apartment and have that standard metallic door. When you will install remove a back of the item and put it in from the outside inside to your room.

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 nailed mine onto wood cabinet doors. It doesn't look the greatest but it works.

My 2-door system is 2 5/8 inches from the wall. My solid wood doors cost me $400 and are just slightly less than 1 1/2 inches thick. So I say 'yes'.

I mounted it on wood, but If you have a lightweight bycicle, you need only specific screws for bricks and nothing else special.

I mounted it on the surface of the door. I do believe you can mount it with screws, I chose to use super Velcro, which holds it very well. The outside of my door is metal and I did not want to drill holes in it. I bought the super Velcro myself.

That type of mounting would work as long as there's room for the door to swing completely open it goes beyond 90°

It needs the doorframe to secure into, perhaps if you had studs on either side it might hold
