It doesn't seem like the one mounting spot (middle of the handle at the top) is enough to hold the weight of the paper. Would I be able to put a screw at each of the top corners through the material into the wall, or it is hard plastic? Thanks.

Actually, the top mount is more than enough to hold a heavier weight. The failure point is actually how the folders hang as they start to bend and can eventually fall off if you add a large amount of items into them. I am not sure if this is due to weight or the bulging of the folders that causes the problem, though I suspect the bulging is the real issue. This has only happened to me once in practice and was more to the fact that I had avoided my inbox for months...

I used small velcro Command Strips instead of the hanger on the top (it's retractable, so I just pushed it down so it doesn't show). I put 1 command strip across the top, the bottom, and spaced 2 along each side and velcro'd it to the wall since many people will be taking forms in and out of the various folders. It makes it a little more stable, and the strips worked great!

You could put a screw, but I agree with the other response...I have heaps of unpaid bills in mine!!! and it holds them fine...

I believe mine came with the two brackets I use to hang over the cubical wall, which is what I am doing. And they adjust to various thickness walls. On the top edge of the unit itself there are two keyhole shaped holes for mounting on nails-screws-hooks, etc. On the side of a file cabinet you could use sheet metal screws if the didn't go in too far or interfere with the track. It is possible you could use stick on hangers of you weren't putting much in it. but mine has 3-4 lbs. of papers in it most of the time.

I used screws to mount it. I decided to go the extra mile and first I cut a piece of plywood a little larger than the base of the wall organizer and mounted the plywood to the wall first. It was a drywall wall, and I wanted to be able to screw the plywood to the studs behind the drywall, and not just into the drywall alone. Then I screwed the wall organizer to the plywood. It may not be necessary to do that, but this way, I know it will never come loose or pull away from the wall. I personally would not trust double stick tape for something like this.

It's really meant to be attached to a wall. If you just placed it on a counter, every time you tried to pull a paper towel off, the whole thing would probably just slide off the counter as it's not that heavy.

We only used two screw at the top. It was put into our vinyl siding with no problems. It is heavier than our old plastic box, but the screws have secured it to the wall very well. I love it because it is deep enough to hold all my publications and mail and it looks really good.

I just peeled it off the attached paper and stuck it to the wall. I didn't separate it. It would be too much work and I wasn't sure I would get it straight.

It is sturdy enough for books but I'm not sure about mounting on the wall. I am doubtfully but haven't tried it.

The document holders nicely hold an 8.5" x 11" piece of paper (possibly two or three), but there is no innate way of mounting it to a wall. The covers are also not completely transparent, so that needs to be taken into account.

You'll need about 3+ inches clear behind the face of the wall. You will also have to come up with a different bracket to hold it in place, as the bracket that comes with it is for a wall thickness of up to two inches. I would go with a flush mount paper holder.

Mine is installed against a wall, not on a post. A newspaper will jam the slot open possibly if pushed in from one end. It will not drop down into the box. It is intended for regular mail. It might be best to add some sort of holder under the unit or possibly lay the paper on top if the unit is fastened to a wall.

I believe the question has been misinterpreted: the intent does not sound to be mounting the speaker to the wall using this product, but rather using Blu-Tack between the speaker and a dedicated speaker mount to increase the hold collectively. If that is correct, I am purchasing this product now for exactly that purpose. The speaker mount itself should have decent grip, but this can only increase that hold. I will report back after applying this product, but am quite certain it can only prove to be beneficial.

This holder comes with the screws needed to mount it. Adhesive tape holding that much weight just could not hold up long. The provided screws are the "molly" type that are designed for hollow wall board/sheet rocked applications. Those have a plastic sheath/anchor that goes into the wall board first and then the screw goes into the anchor. Molly screws hold more weight and the anchor helps keep them from pulling out of the wall. The Mollies will work to keep this holder on the wall far better than adhesives or plain screws can. If you are careful and don't tug on it, it will probably stay put for years. But, I like things to stay put and not have to worry about them. It is always better to mount things that get a lot of use and/or hold weight into two studs, one at both ends. When that isn't possible, situating it so that at least one screw goes into a stud is the next best thing. It only works if it stays on the wall.

The top of the roll does not sit above the rubber ball and comes out as you pull. The lower part rubs the paper roll on the edge of the holder. This holder is not designed for vertical mounting.

It's installed with two screws, in the middle of the holder. It won't work if you're trying to replace a recessed toilet paper holder - only if your previous spot was mounted on the wall. It's refilled just by setting the TP in the holder - it's not actually stuck in there. Our cats and toddler have both gotten ahold of the end to pull it out but have a tough time if the end is tucked in.

Okay, the adhesive on the back of these MAY NOT be strong enough to mount pictures in frames. [enough] dual lock itself is certainly strong enough for the weight of a frame, but I'd be more worried about the glue on the back not only not holding to your wall, AND, yes, probably chipping some paint off assuming you do get it to stick to the wall well. Basically, it's gonna tear off your wall before it breaks the "dual lock". This is an amazing product, but you have to be really smart about how you use it. I have some stuck to wood and drywall around my apartment, but in certain cases I've even staple-gunned it, or superglued it, depending on the application. REGARDLESS, this product is a great value, and you may want to pick some up to test it how you plan to use it. For example, if you stick enough of it to a wall, perhaps in the shape of the frame, or just the top and bottom edge, and apply pressure for a spell, I wouldn't be worried about it holding a glass frame. But if you're stingy with it, you're bound to have little accidents. The adhesive glue is not as reliable as the dual lock itself.

We have these at work, and it took me a few trys to get the hang of this, so I can understand the confusion. The device is basically small plastic rollers that use gravity to pinch the paper. The paper is slid up between the rollers and the back. Gravity of the paper and roller pinch the paper to hold it. To release grab the bottom of the paper and pull away from wall and up...as if you had a 3ring binder mounted to wall and tried to open it. In this way, you start to take up some the weight of the paper, and more importantly, the paper pushes the rollers up slightly, and the top of the paper falls out.

Holder has 2 screws at the back of holder that attach to wall, and lid lifts up to be able to install paper roll. IF recessed wall allows for that with the dimensions of the product in mind, than go for it. LOVE this holder, keeps our pets from destroying roll. Worth the money in aggravation saved.
