Can this be installed into drywall? We want to place it in our hallway, not at a door, to allow access to multiple rooms.

Yes. I would just make sure to install at a stud in the wall - at least on the hinge side. If I remember correctly, the screws were pretty long. If the screws are not long enough you can just get longer ones at a hardware store.

Yes we have ours installed into drywall and anchored well (into a stud if possible) since the kids hang on it.

We have found that the "best" method over time is to cut or buy from hdwr store a a length of wood about 2" wide by 1/2" thick, and slightly longer than the two swing connections. This can then be fastened into the stud very sturdily and the swing gate hardware is then screwed into the wood. We have found it's not necessary to do the same on the other side,

Technically it's probably possible, but its really not made for it. It has a wider base for support from the floor and it gets pretty heavy when it is full. I would advise keeping it on the floor. It is narrow enough you can probably fit it in a standard size hallway, if there isn't room for it in any of your rooms--that's where we have ours, and we don't have any trouble with running into it. You will want to make sure there is enough space between doors first though.

It'd be best if you could install it into studs, but if you mount it flush to the floor I'd assume heavy duty drywall anchors would do the job nicely.

You can mount it to drywall if you have to. I have 2 of these in different rooms and I have them done both ways. I used my own anchors and screws for the mount and I used them in all available holes. The thing is solid like this.

We put ours on a stud. Not sure if it would hold the weight on just drywall.

I installed mine through the wall just fine. I was in the process of remodeling and built the opening just to fit with studs and headers on sides, top and bottom. The unit is wider than most studspaces, so one stud had to be cut and reinforced top and bottom. It seems to work fine.

It is designed to be mounted in a door. A wall will be 4 times thicker, but you could definitely make it work if you are resourceful.

It's not designed to be mounted to the wall. You could do it, but you would have to fabricate a mounting bracket or drill the corner posts and install drywall anchors. Personally, I would buy the mounting brackets which fasten it to the bed frame.

I could use it but in mine as I have a single sheet of drywall for a ceiling. If you have a double layer, plaster, or other thick type ceiling It wouldn't secure without modification to the box.

No. It is designed for doors but I put mine in a wall and it works great. You would need to fill in the space between the interior and exterior walls.

I surfaced mounted mine... I believe it can be installed in the wall. I didn't save the install instructions so I can't verify this. I suggest you go to Kohler web site they will confirm which installation methods they have for this model #. This is a very high quality cabinet and I am very happy with it.......

I wouldn't advise it as its installed with 2 sided tape. You want a unit that screws into the wall. You could with this if you are so inclined.

Yes you can install this in the wall. You may need to add 2 by 4's at the base and for framing of the unit. This would be for support IN the wall. Make sure the unit is well supported.

I do not know of any reason this unit could not be installed in wall. Would not have to attach side panels. Just cut space to fit unit. Hope this helps

We installed it on drywall, but if you could attach the bracket that it hangs on securely, I don't see why not. I love this mantel and I receive many compliments on it. Good luck!

Yes it can. I would only use it on an interior wall because the lock isn't that strong. I have mine from the hallway to the basement and it works just fine.

It can be attached to a wall. If the wall is "drywall", it would be be better if it were attached to a stud, located behind the wall.
