Can this only be used on finished walls or can you just attach it to the studs on unfinished walls as well? My garage isn't finished on the inside.

It would be fine either way. You can mount it on drywall or on exposed, unfinished walls. If you don't have finished walls, you might want to consider a large pegboard instead. It would fill up some wall space and may be nicer in the long run.

I absolutely would only screw it into the wood studs with the screws. Mine is rock solid AND I too am a perfectionist. If it's not in a stud, you MUST use the anchors, but I can't vouch for it's sturdiness.

We screwed ours into the wall. I think you are supposed to screw it into the wall. We put wall anchors in for even better hold when a stud was not an option. They worked wonderfully for us!!

Yes, if the garage is finished. Or you could use balloon strings to hang it but will still need something to attach the string too.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

It's light enough to use either . But I used screws in my garage .. I'd stay away from any adhesive though your rip off your paint/texture off the walls

I honestly don't know. We hung it on a sheet-rock painted wall in to a stud. I would assume if you have a stud, you could attach it to any kind of wall.

It is not necessary to mount this into studs on your concrete wall. However, you will need to make sure you purchase the correct mounting hardware for your application.

There is no "mounting" hardware with this item. You could throw it over a beam in the garage or over a solid-closing door, but it is not designed to mount to a side wall although I suppose you could rig something up. It would have to be a pretty sturdy anchor and the wall stud, I believe, would require additional anchoring as well since the pressure applied to that anchor would be quite great. IMO, I wouldn't try to install it on a wall stud.

The stud finder will find the drywall screws (and therefore the stud) in your wall. You're still ultimately mounting to a stud, so you should be fine.

this thing can be mounted over a door, or wrapped over a beam or around a tree. It can mount to a wall stud in your garage if you screw in a huge industrial hook to wrap it around.

I had my contractor put it up since I was remodeling my kitchen. He used drywall anchors (such as molly bolts, etc.) on one and on the other he put it into the studs.

Yes, I hung the cabinet in my unfinished basement on open studs. We use them to store canned jams, and sauces from our garden. I needed a back to keep stuff from falling out the back especially after adding an extra shelf. I had some 3/8 ply that I attached to the back. The whole job took less than an hour. The cabinet does come with an upper and lower back nailing strip that I didn't use,

Very unlikely. A cabinet backing is either 1/2" thick or it is thinner stuff but has a 1/2" frame keeping it off the wall. That's too far away, the magnets won't stick. This product only works on studs with drywall nails or screws in it. Those are just below the surface. However, many framing areas call for a lot more studs than are required for hanging drywall, so the drywall crew just skips them. If you don't also have a traditional stud finder, you should have one of those before you have this. Also, why do you want to detect studs through the cabinet backing? Why not mark studs before hand on the back splash and above where the top cabinets will sit? I thought you're supposed to connect cabinets to the wall through the rails at the top and bottom, not inside the cabinet.

This has to attached to a stud- it's too heavy for drywall and anchors. I hope this helps.

It is held up by 2 mounting clips, it depends on your wall, if you have hollow drywall nails may not do it. Anything solid like wood nails will work.

The brackets work best to be attached to a fixed wall or ceiling studs. I'm sure if you "fashioned" something you could make it work. I would make sure it's attached to the joists how ever not the metal pieces that hold the ceiling tiles.
