Has anyone installed this with 3M Command Water-Resistant Strips? (I'm always reluctant to "permanently" install things) :p

The silicone that included with this product was all dried up when I received it. Fortunately, I had also ordered the 3M Command strips so I used those to install it on my shower enclosure walls (I do not have tile). Much to my surprise, the strips have held up for over two years now and are rock solid. I usually keep my dispensers full and have at least one partial bottle on the shelf. It might not work as well on tile but it sure does work for me.

I used the items supplied with my unit, when I moved I used a sharp knife, cut loose and used a silicone solvent (from Home depot)cleaned and purchased 2 sided tape and new silicone and installed in my new home. I now have 3 of these units and dearly love the ease of use and NO clutter in my shower.

That's a good idea. I put mine up with clear silicone and it worked well. Good luck.

mine work fine. all 4 strips do. its just how they are packaged that the clear rubber coating that makes them waterproof is likely to crack so be sure to inspect the shell when they arrive if you get them

I use 3M Command Strips, size large (cut a bit to fit). Because of the four small bumps on the corners of the back, the back surface does not make contact with the mounting surface, and so one strip of tape is not enough to make contact with both surfaces, so I use two strips (on top of each other) which is enough to firmly attach the doorbell to the mounting surface.

The strip is covered with a thick rubber coating on the topside. Underneath it is a thin double-sided tape. I do not believe that exposure to moisture will be a problem for the LEDs- as long as it is not in water itself. I'm not sure how well the adhesive tape will hold up to that kind of environment. It isn't very attractive to look at, so I don't believe someone would want to look at it directly - but would be great atmospheric lighting. I cut my strip up to use as lighting inside my model train buildings, so I'm just speculating here.

if you really truly trust command strips with whatever you plan to hang on these...there are two screws in each end to secure to the wall... i rather think the screws would do less damage to your wall should you want to take it down and move it for any reason... my ONLY experience with command strips was disastrous to the wall (and i can't imagine it looking good to have that under the base pieces?)... and since only the rim would be afixed to the command strips... i recommend the screws... but you could always try it ... and after the disaster THEN you could use the screws :o) good luck!!! if you really truly trust command strips with whatever you plan to hang on these...there are two screws in each end to secure to the wall... i rather think the screws would do less damage to your wall should you want to take it down and move it for any reason... my ONLY experience with command strips was disastrous to the wall (and i can't imagine it looking good to have that under the base pieces?)... and since only the rim would be afixed to the command strips... i recommend the screws... but you could always try it ... and after the disaster THEN you could use the screws :o) good luck!!!

I used 3m double sided tape. You can also use a small screw as there is a mounting hole on the back of the unit.

my tub is right against the wall but i'm still ordering it. I'm going to use a waterproof command hook on the side of the tub and hook that small metal piece....and then hopefully move later lol

No I have not. Make sure your main water valve is open wide enough. You had to close it completely during the install.

I mounted mine using Command Strips about a year ago and it's still going strong. You have to be a little creative about it and make sure that they cure before you hang anything on it. I can't promise it'll work if you're using to hold any particularly heavy knives or tools, but it works for me.

It comes with one that is already attached to the base. Clean the surface, peel off the strip and apply. After seeing your question it occurred to me that the 3M Command adhesive strips might be good for this. Then you could easily remove and move the mount to other surfaces. I'll have to experiment with that to see if it is strong enough. For instance put the mount on my helmet, then remove it and put it on my ski or the front of my vehicle, etc. Let's try it and see how it works. Thank you for stimulating that idea!

We used fishing line and push pins once and also used command strips. No problems with either.

I got mine last Summer and it's completely fine. My husband installed it with no problem at all. Good luck!

Do not use the command strips it comes with! Mine fell off the wall less then 12 hours after I put it up and cracked the bag holder. So disappointing. And I have to wait on approval to exchange it, which is even more frustrating.

I have not had any of those issues personally. I only have the cold water hooked up at the moment because my bathroom is set up in an odd way so hooking up the hot is a bit tricky....we'll get to that eventually :) But for now, just using the cold water feature, my husband had no problem installing and there is no issue with fit or length of bolt for us. I couldn't reccomend this product more highly. I hope this helps :)'

Hi Vicky: No they are not compatible with the 3M system. Thank You, WaterFiltersOnline

I have the same problem. I have the American Standard Dual Flush (two buttons on top to prevent overuse of water for liquid waste).There HAS to be a way to install this thing. I've Googled it repeatedly and haven't found any solutions.
