If you didn't use any screws at all and just slide the 2x4 into its slots.. would it still be relatively secure?

Absolutely not. Still wobbles a little bit even with screws in it. Used L brackets to secure it to the wall.

No, you must have screws to establish shelf height on the upright 2x4s, and the screw on the horizontal 2x4s serve to tie the shelf together, else it will fall. I DO advise getting different screws - mine shipped with flat tip, and phillips are much easier to work with when using a driver.

The screws are what holds everything in place. Without screws to hold the supports in place, it's just a pile of wood.

Not at all. These are a good product in my opinion, but even when constructed using screws they have a little wobble to them.

In my experience of using the ShelfLinks I would not say they would be secure without using screws to hold all the upright and horizontal 2x4's in place. Especially when you are taking items on and off the shelves...I even secured the bases to the floor so that the base would stay as secure as possible.

Pertty sure it came as an undermount only so there would be no need for bolts.

Yes it would be.....you tighten it in two places like a vise........very secure

Very little damage if any at all. The door frame I have been using this has a thicker lip than most and did not require the hardware installation. However, if it is needed the hardware only requires a few screw holes that could be easily patched if necessary.

Yes it's pretty secure and doesn't move much, unless you intentionally do it!

It is not going to tip or anything if you do not bolt it, but a safe really should be bolted down. It only takes a couple big guys with a furniture mover to steal the whole thing.

I had no problem, but remember not to tighten any of the bolts until they are all in place. That provides the wiggle room that you may need.

Yes, you can tighten up the screw and it shouldn't move unless you try pushing really really hard.

there are 4 1 1/2" screws on the interior of the box, if mounting on drywall into studs you will want longer screws. The box is fairly secure if someone was really persistent to steal the box they could which is why I placed mine in an inconvenience place to be able to pry behind it or swing a hammer at it. I would say all in all it is secure.

Yes. This would be appropriate. I have placed it inside of a lower cabinet and no screws or installation was needed. Just place it and it is great!

as I remember there are only four holes for screws. However I would be easy to drill a hole in it. Remember this is not a really tough safe. I have it in a place that is hidden and almost impossible to access as well as about an inch into the wall. But is does the trick for me

That is completely up to you. With a minimum purchase, yes the 4 screws would hold the entire weight of the contents. The screws should be able to support the weight, but they may be difficult to position in order to tighten them. I bought a set of rails for the bottom case of my rack. Another option would to be to install the case in your rack empty, and then add the contents. That postpones any problems until you need to service anything inside. If you do buy the rails, the bottom machine can support the next machine until you get those screws tightened.

I didn't try it but I looked at it and all you would need to do is not put the screw covers on one side and either screw them together or use brackets.

It is pretty hard to catch a stud with all 4 screws. I would think that 2 screws into studs is pretty good and secure.

It's actually pretty tight without using the lock down screws. I think this will work fine for your needs.

I would not try, but if you do, make sure it is securely attached to say a 4x4 using say 2"+ deck screws.

I think it would work as long as there was enough frame to put the screws in
