how do you mount to a flat surface? is there a recommended bonding agent if i want to adhere it to a metal door frame?

It came with 4 screws ... I drilled holes in the wall and it has held fine.. I would not glue it ... It's so much more secure attached with the screws..hope this helps..

It mounts to wood flat surfaces with wood screws internal to the box to prevent access or removal without combination. Good question on mounting to metal door frame. I would not be confident of any type bonding agent as it could be overcome by chemical reactions. If the door can be drilled through, I would recommend machine screws that are long enough to go through the door where lock washers and nuts could be used.

I mounted mine with the enclosed screws. I put it away from the door in a partially hidden location. I do not remember if any other mounting was suggested.

I used screws to mount mine, and that worked well. If I recall, the screws came with it.

I would use metal screws to fasten it to a metal frame just as you use wood screws for a wood frame.

It should stick to a metal frame as long as its cleaned. But not sure what you're going to stick on the other side will hold.

Well, i built a simple wood frame, but you could just as easily screw the material into the wall at the studs, and you can always patch the holes up with spackling when you move. Then use that 4 inch 1mm black felt tape around the borders. I like the tape. It finishes it ff nice and helps square up the picture. JVCC-felt06 is what I used.

Yes, you can use double sided tape or screw it in. Hopefully you have room to mount it on a flat surface as that would be better. Hope that helps.

I used ceramic wall tile pre-mixed mastic to attach the brackets. If you have a masonry drill bit, drilling some shallow holes in the tile will aid in adhesion. After gluing, I used masking tape to hold the bar in place for 24 hours and then caulked around the brackets. It has held fine and seems to be extremely sturdy.

It should be mountable using a toggler into the metal stud. Did you end up installing it? I used 3 snap toggles into drywall, and 3 self-tapping sheet metal screws into the metal studs, so far it has held up. Good luck!

Yes, no problem. I have the main box firmly attached to my wooden door frame......using the original double sided tape included with the kit. Still in place after over a year!

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.

Yes,I did....go to Home Depot or the like & get some 2 inch wide Industrial Strength Velcro & put a full ength strip top & bottom or even around all 4 sides & do the matching strips on your wall or wherever & you're good to go. Tip; once you apply the strips to the wall & to the Unit let both fully adhere over 24 hours say,before you mount the piece. Technically you don't have to but I find the Velcro sticky side adheres better long term if you don't immediately mount the Unit.Good Luck,CJ

It's a smooth black plastic so something as simple as double sided tape would work. That circular feature is a mold mark but could easily be drilled out for a more secure mount. The basic unit doesn't come with any provision for mounting.

I secured mine to my standard metal frame, and it works fine. The screws you'll need are included in the package.

We mounted ours on a piece of plywood and put it in the window (kind of like a room air conditioner). It's not as thick as a door. We believe there is an attachment you can buy to make it work for a door or wall.

You can, I would suggest getting some strong "permanent" double sided tape. We found some at JoAnns. It was the only thing that worked on our metal door to hold our door knocker on.

This will definitely work! You attach to the door by pressure, not screws or anything permanent. It has a clamp at the end with what appears to be silicone (very good anyway) padding to protect the door surface, and it comes with a little allen wrench that is used to tighten the clamp. We removed them when we moved out of our house and you never would have known anything was ever there. That's why even though they're a bit pricey I like them.

I attached it to Aluminum. It's a little heavy. If you attach it to wood, there needs to be some strength there. Stud, or something. This was a great value. Would recommend to anyone. I paid much much more from a local dealer for basically the same product.

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.

I used liquid nails to mount the one I purchased, however it was difficult holding it in place long enough to hold it's own weight. I then used caulk to cover the edges. It has held up fine since then. Perhaps a contact cement would work and may even require less hold time although I have not personally tried that myself. I am not sure how someone would be able to mount this with a bracket. Perhaps an anchor bolt would give it something to rest on in the adhesion process? I am not sure. I hope this is helpful.
