Could I mount this on the underside of a kitchen cabinet?And will the knives stay on?

I'm assuming you mean on the wall beneath cabinets and not facing downward on the bottom of the cabinets. I have mine on the wall and it fits perfectly and they knives stay on. But if you DO mean under the cabinets the knives will probably stay on because the magnet is quite strong. It "grabs" the knife when I get close to it.

The magnet is very strong so the knives would probably stay on. However I wouldn't choose this method since you would be unable to see the knives and might cut yourself.

it's a pretty strong magnet, but not sure about hanging with the knives hanging down like that...if they fall off...oh boy. We have it mounted on the wall and they stay at that position very well...sometimes it's even hard to pull them off... but, again I would be worried if it's under the cabinet. If the knife was lite weight...maybe....

Definitely, this can be mounted on the underside of a kitchen cabinet.The magnet is strong enough to hold the knives in place, don't worry about that. You just need to understand that for safety reasons you need to have a clear view so you grab the handles.

I suppose if you want to put screwholes in your refrigerator door, it could be mounted there. Seems like a dangerous place to store sharp knives though.

I would say no because of gravity :) Unless you managed to perfectly balance your knives horizontally on it or if you only have very small knives. I would not hang a butcher knife on it horizontally, for instance.

No....it mounts on the wall. I love this item!! It's wonderful and very sturdy for your knives!

The back is solid (it's actually two pieces, a magnetic strip that mounts to the wall, and a metal piece that goes over the top). You could use two-sided tape, however the screws offset the base strip from the wall, allowing extra clearance for the knives. If using tape, I would layer a few pieces of padded tape, to mimic that stand-off. It will allow you to grab knives easier, as the handles won't be flush against the wall.

HI Kristi. I don't think it was intended as such, but I don't think it would cause any problems. The magnets are fairly strong so small paring knives will stay perpendicular. A large chef knife might have a little bit of an issue, perhaps. My guess is that as long as it has a good center of gravity and is balanced it will stay how you want it. The actual strip just mounts via screws so vertical would be easier, whether on a stud or with just the dry wall. Hope this helps.

Yes, keeping in mind the blades will need clearance above the magnet strip, and the handles should have space to hang down.I couldn't put mine where I wanted due to electrical lines and an outlet in the wall, but am pleased with my knives being out of drawers and off of the counters.

not sure... Google them? I really love them!!! I have mine on a vertical magnetic knife rack in my kitchen on the side of an end counter by the sink... it looks really cool!!!

I have it on my fridge and I LOVE it...it does swivel but I never tried mounting it under the cabinet. They are magnets...don't know how you would do that.

Yes, but if the knife is too heavy it will slide down the side. I went and stuck a Henckls chefs knife on a stack of four just to see what would happen and it held no problem. However when I attached a Kershaw "outcast" brush knife it slide down to the floor. YMMV.

It does not have hangers on the bottom, but I believe you could install your own and the foam would hold the knives in securely if it was to hang on the wall

Yes, as long as you have the room for the knives under the cabinet the magnet will hold them. I love mine. The wood is great quality and the magnet is very strong. :)

You could mount it anywhere that two screws would hold it. Ours is mounted on the wall just belw our cabinets. Solid, looks good and keeps it off the counter. Win, win, win.

Yes it could be mounted under a cabinet. It can be mounted horizontal or vertical. We put them up vertically on the wall. The are fantastic at allowing using only one hand to grab a paper towel, the friction is set perfect. Mounting to the wall must use anchors to secure hold since will be pulling on it - unless the wall is solid wood or screwing into a stud. TIP: When mounting under a cabinet because of the narrow depth of cabinet bottoms, suggest taking a block of wood and mounting that block underneath cabinet first by using screws inside cabinet down into the block, then the paper towel holder can be firmly mounted to the block (painted or stained - the small craft plaques like from Hobby Lobby or Michael's are perfect for this use). Use counter-sink screws the ones that go down into surface so the screw is not sticking out.

Ours is hung on the wall. I have large MAC knives and I don't think it would work if hung under a cabinet for something that heavy. If you're hanging lighter items (small knives, metal spatulas, etc) it would probably be alright. We tried to hang farberware tongs, but they kept falling off and eventually we got sick of it. There wasn't enough metal in contact with the magnets. I wouldn't hang it under a cabinet unless I were only using it for lighter items.

I can't say if it would work vertically. Ours is mounted horizontally, and it's GREAT!We have 5 knives, from carving size to paring knife, as well as a pair of kitchen scissors,hanging from it. No problems at all, I love it!

Yes, I have both a 8" chef knife and a 12" bread knife on this rack and it holds them well, no sliding. I had the rack for a few month only, so I am not sure of magnet power over time.
