How do people mount this? The frame of our door is metal so drilling isn't an option.

I use 3M Command Strips, size large (cut a bit to fit). Because of the four small bumps on the corners of the back, the back surface does not make contact with the mounting surface, and so one strip of tape is not enough to make contact with both surfaces, so I use two strips (on top of each other) which is enough to firmly attach the doorbell to the mounting surface.

It comes with double-sided foam tape for mounting. We have this button on two different doors: one is sheltered, the other is exposed to the elements. They have been up almost a year and have had no problem with either one staying up.

Assuming your metal door is hollow or wood core, yes is the answer. Most drill bits will drill through aluminum easily, and steel. I did not install the mount on mine since it (door) is thin steel over foam insulation and screws don't have enough to bit into to hold any weight. The kick plate is being held by screws and a cauking/glue product (Liquid Nails?) - can't remember name. Hope this helps.

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.

The bracket requires drilling holes to mount. Otherwise what's going to hold it up?

you need to drill hole in window frame slide shaft through hole then install small piece of metal as a back plate

Just find a stud and screw it in. No anchors or bolts needed. It comes with screw hooks that seem rather sturdy

You have to drill it out yourself. Hardware includes special screws to mount once drilled.

I bought 2 of these, one I drilled in screws and mounted that way, the other I used a wide strip of Velcro, not sure what your needing to hang to but you can always reinforce with some gorilla tape for a good secure hold. Hope this helps and I am sure there are many more ways, but this is how I put mine up.

There's a Plexiglas panel that slides into place and is held in with a pin. This makes it VERY secure. It's not as 100% secure as a metal door would be, but pretty close IMHO.

My husband mounted it and didn't have any problems. I would recommend mounting it and not using the door hanger part. He used the screw wall mount things.

Use the provided magnets. Sounds like you didn't mount them on the door when you assembled the item.

There is a "soft mount" and the recommended "hard mount". So basically it's like a tension rod that you keep twisting in the door frame until there is enough tension to hold the bar. That's the soft mount. The hard mount you screw in to the door way.

You don't need to mount it to a door. It has a 3-leg base. Still, beware, as mine doesn't work and the seller can't help fix. A local repair shop couldn't do anything either.

it is over the door and you have the option of screwing it to the door also. I hung it on the door and used Command metal hooks No. 17067-VP to fasten it on the sides to keep it from moving.

I had got the product and it doesn't need holes to be installed. but when I saw my friend's door frame I knew that this product would hurt the frame a lot. the frame will be broken in a long term. but if you don't mind, it would still work alright.

Any Hardware store should carry some type of angle iron that you and drill holes into and attach to your door frame. The metal brackets are a safety feature.

There should be a couple grommet holes in the door for you to use a ball bungee to hold the door up. Just roll it up and bungee it in place.
