Does this have a screw for better wall securing? The last two I purchased would not stay in my wall outlet. Thank you for your help.

Yes; you have to have the kind of outlet with a center screw for mounting the plate.

It plugs in pretty securely but it also has a screw to make sure it stays in place

There's no anchoring screw, but mine stays right in the wall...no problem at all with it falling out.

The outlet on the end is threaded, however I have not removed it for attaching any external device. The chrome tip threaded onto the outlet does every thing I need.

No, but not for the reasons you'd think - Notice there is no screw in the center of the unit- it just plugs into the wall. It's reasonably easy to yank off the wall, which would expose the wall's outlet. A screw in model would be better

Of course you can attach to a surge protector but the main purpose of this outlet extender is to angle up and provide outlets that extend up instead of straight out from the wall. Especially useful behind a sofa, etc.

Yes. But when we got it it didn't look great where I planned tpo put it, so my husband installed it directly into a socket. Also, we avoiding drilling into the wall by doing it that way. Looks nice and is stable. But it really is a plug in unit by design.

Yes = the screw is long enough to secure to the outlet itself. In fact, I did not remove the outlet cover itself - just the screw. The I placed the Belkin Surge Master over the outlet cover and used the screw that came with it - to secure it.- This is my 5th one. I had to replace one because it failed after a couple of years. I assume because it did its job and protected my devices as intended. I keep an extra one around for a quick replacement.

Mine doesn't have screw ports either. I just push it in and try not to touch it. As long as it's still, it should work flawlessly.

There should be a screw hole at the top and the bottom of the spring tension device. It mounts directly to the wall with the push-button facing outwards. It is a little clunky when you install - not having any kids or animals that might get tangled in the cord, I ended up taking it off.

Mine came with screws. My husband mounted it to the wall. Maybe you should return it to get proper hardware. Once mounted, you are going to love it!

It does not screw into the wall. It holds itself up by adjustable pressure feet. It has two panels that expand it to different sizes.

It is a screw on or wired on holder. The only way it would stay mounted is if it were tightly wired on.

When I first opened the box, I recall I tried to remove those screws, too, as it seemed the intuitive thing to do. It's not. Those screws stay in the unit. After looking at the instructions and the wall hanger more closely I figured it out, but it's been so long that I don't recall exactly what I did. Sorry-that's the best I can do...

Yes it does. Using an adapter from two prong to three defeats the benefits of this plug since it will move it out from the wall too much. Maybe you know someone that could install a newer outlet for you. It's relatively easy to change but a rudimentary knowledge of electricity is required and power to the plug MUST be turned off.

You can remove the screw, no problem. Its only be use for tighten in ac outlet purpose only. BUT, keep in mind, you have to not use too heavy adapter to plug in, Other wise it fall off from wall. Let me know for further assistance. Thanks, "Ram green art"

Your outlet should be right next to a wall stud. You could mount this onto the stud and could position it so that it is in front of the outlet. I don't think there is a secure way to mount it over the outlet itself though.

There are holes in the back wall that allow you to secure the fixture to a wall or other surface. You will need to remove the front plate (which the outlet is attached to), secure to the mounting surface from inside the fixture, make the electrical connections, and then secure the front plate back in place. Hope that helps.

Mine came with a long screw to replace the screw on the outlet cover so that this item can't get accidentally pulled out of the outlet. I'm sure you can just plug it in and use it if the screw is missing.
