Can this be attached to a metal storm door without having to drill holes in it?

The simplest answer is "No!" However, if I wanted to attach it to an aluminum door I would try 3M Very High Bond foam tape.

no, you do have to drill holes if you want it to stay on. I don't see any way tape would work.

You certainly can mount it directly to the door. The important factor would be to make certain you will have a secure way to fasten it.....Most inside doors are hollow and it may be difficult to use a regular wood screws for a secure mounting. If the door is hollow you might want to try to use a hollow wall anchor. There are several types available at your hardware or home improvement store.

Yes to both questions......it would be suitable for a very small dog and it can be installed in a storm door

I would say probably not. I ended up not using this magnetic strip, instead opting for rare earth magnets which are much smaller and much much stronger.Plus,there was no gluing or screwing involved, all I had to do was place the magnets on the door and it works perfectly

can't be certain since I did not install in a storm door. Would assume it to work but depends on how strong the door is. Maybe a wooden frame needs to be installed together with the frame of the pet door to strengthen the set-up.

I don't think it would be good for a storm door. I don't think it's sturdy enough.

Any construction adhesive is going to be hard to get off the door if you don't use the sweep long... I have a metal door and a small pilot hole with a drill bit went right into the steel skin of the door, no problem. So, yes, you can make a hole as the steel covering the door is very thin, but use a metal bit.

I think it's possible. You'll need the fastener to bolt to a small metal plate.

No. it uses J bolts . No drilling required. Had mine over a year . No problems. The only issue is the instructions are hard to read otherwise this is a product that does the Job. I carry ladders ( window washer) and would buy again.

We have this and fortunately had umbrella holes already in the right places so this slots right in. If you don't have holes, you would have to drill into the deck and install holes.

I used this for my security storm door. You need to have a solid door jamb for this to work properly.

Yes, If you have a secure way to mount to metal. The KeySafe unit comes with wood screws so you will need metal screws and be sure that you can properly anchor to hollow metal. It is probably best to mount using bolts and nuts going completely through the metal frame to insure the unit can't be ripped from your mounting. Even if it is removed, the device is strong enough that someone could not gain access to your keys.

No nailing or drilling, but I think the hooks that go over the door must be attached to the box itself with a screwdriver.

Not without significant modification and/or damage to the door. It was not designed to be moved up or down.

As far as I can tell, yes. Just make sure to eyeball the general configuration of your storm door handle mounting holes. I had to make two small holes to mount mine, but it was not a problem.

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.

No holes... and that's why I bought it. Be careful, we have several coats of paint on our steel door, and the paint does have an effect on how strongly the plate is attached.
