Hi, can this item be installed on the side of a california closet - eg about 1" deep. How long are the screws? - Thanks

The screws that came with it were strong enough to use it on a laundry room wall. Hope this helps!

I think so. Screws are about 1" long but smaller screws could be purchased and used if needed.

I'm not sure what a California closet is, but if it's a particle board material, I should think it could be installed with no problem. If the the screws that come with the Instahanger are too long, you could always substitute shorter ones.

I think the screws are around 1" but if you want longer, you can get them from a hardware store that would work with this hanger.

You are going to need 11 5/16" to install this item. It is approx 13" deep so it will stick out about an inch after you install it. Hope this helps.

You can mount the screws at any position. However, the wider you get the more stability the unit will have.Good Luck

I used drywall screws (instead of the screws that come with it), and it seems pretty secure in the drywall. The mounting holes are about 28" apart, so you will not be able to get both sides in a stud. It's not that heavy though, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Sells Homes has the right idea. The screws are just about 3/4" long, and even with a desktop that is just over 3/4" thick, I had opted to run a thin washer, just to be safe (taking into consideration the thickness of the brackets). Running a shorter screw would compromise the holding strength, as the tray is fairly heavy, so you may have to engineer a solution as suggested earlier.

I can't recall the exact depth, but like most timers it was pretty deep. I really don't think you would be able to install it in a shallow switch box and/or wall with a 1.5" depth. My parents had the same problem with their wall, so they used a Wiremold surface-mount box to put the switches in.

Quite shallow if you have a large case, you will only get one screw in on each side. You could put it in a bracket or internal case, which will make it more secure. I was surprised at how short they are (amongst other things).

I have two of these. The mounting screws are not very long, but too long for a very thin cabinet door. They work best on a raised panel cabinet door. The screw is 1/2 inch long, but only 1/4 inch penetrates the cabinet door because it goes through the mounting bracket first. If you have a flat panel door, you'll have to attach the bracket near the top of the cabinet door where the wood is thicker. Be aware that the mounting bracket is 2 inches (as in the photo) above the waste basket and could interfere with the cabinet door closing if you mount it too high on the door.

Aloha A C, Mine fit great between the wall studs that were sixteen inches on center. A little sloppy so I used some shims on one side due to it being an older condo and built in Maui. Height is no problem, just make sure you know where the wires are at in the wall. Depth will be a problem installing it in a 2x4 wall with insulation. Your will have to cut the insulation out behind the safe. It took me less than fifteen minutes to install it. I love it. Aloha, Captain

I can't imagine it not working with any closet system as it attaches with only two hidden screws pretty much anywhere you have wood or some other sturdy backing. It could possibly even be mounted to drywall though you'd need anchor bolts or something similar. My answer is "yes"....it would work.

I don;t think they can be switched for longer screws... but they are about 1 1.2 inch I think... seemed to be the size for standard cupboards.

The screws that came with these knobs (BEAUTIFUL and heavy and definitely would buy again) are about 2". I measured the thickness of my cabinet and cut the extra off with a small hack saw. Glad they were this long - my cabinets turned out to be 1" thick.

They aren't super long, but long enough to secure it. I heave it installed on a medicine cabinet which is about a quarter thick. They almost penetrated, but didn't. I also might have over tightened. You could very easily get the same type of screws at a very low cost (0.10 cents) at a hardware store. I used to work at one. :-P new I heave ordered two sets now. I love having the hidden lock. I do recommend ordering a backup key though.

There was def some room to give when I used this on standard drywall, but I couldn't give you an exact depth the screws allowed

Sorry, can't find the mount package right now, as I use it free-standing. If I recall, the screws appeared to be about 3/4"; if so, given the thickness of the mount itself, should work fine on std. 3/4" cabinet frames. Of course, if the screws are too deep for your application, or not deep enough, replacements to suit should only cost $.50 or so.

The screws that come with are quite long. I used alternate screws. (That's where I installed mine)
