Are you able to drill small holes in the strips and tack the stuff down with drywall screws instead of using the adhesive?

I don't see why not. The plastic is quite thick and a small drill bit shouldn't have any problem with it. In hindsight, I wish I had done that.

They are rather heavy, so I use nail to hang them.....I wouldn't trust adhesive strips.

Probably not, we ended up tacking ours down with staples as well as the adhesive. So, adhesive alone...no.

I mounted mine with some super heavy duty Velcro, the adhesive was already on the strips. It worked great!

Supplied mounting strips would hold on as long as it is not relocated a lot, if that was the case you could still purchase 3m sticky strips for about .99 locally. Then you could relocate as much as you desire

No. Unless u use those glad sticky strips. But I think any drilling would crack it.

It really depends what you are installing it on.If it is drywall probably drilling some small holes for the glue to go in would work.You really don't want to cut a big hole - there would be nothing to glue it to.

Hi Lisa, i dont think so, cuz there is a place for the hanger to slip over the screws and drop in place. But the holes are small....

No, command strips won't work. It really needs to be screwed into the wall to hold the knives. The screw holes are small tho. Easily caulked & a dab of paint & you would never know they were there.

I did not, but I'm sure you can. Just be sure you go all the way through cleanly if you aren't going to be taking off the paper covering the adhesive. They are not all that thick, so it should be doable.

The answer using topcon screws is right on..If you cheat and use toggle bolts thru plaster only??? MAYBE only MAYBE.. The topcon,s into the concrete are 100%.Again if you can find the strips the wall board is hanging on ?? That would work if your screws don't push the strips off the concrete..IE screw length is critical..

Yes I believe that it can be done, as long as the correct adhesive is used.

We mounted ours with plastic anchors and screws. Our assumption was that the tape would damage the drywall.

I just saw this question and the answer is yes! I have one inside a closet mounted with those strips. It works wonderfully!!! I just used one on each end since it was drywall. On wood, I might use 3 or 4. I have also mounted these with zipties on each end when there is something to thread the tie through on top (like a wire shelf.)

I don't see why not. Just use wood screws. I put mine on drywall with anchors.

it depends on the weight you intend to hang from the strip. i am hanging some basic tools and screws with plastic anchors seem sufficient. but as the weight increases, studs is what i would be looking for to anchor the strips.

Yes, but you will have to request different Velcro strips. I believe they have a stronger adhesive.
