Is the back of this board magnetic also? Does it have to be mounted? Can I just apply it to my metal frame cabinet door?

unfortunately i cannot answer your questions with certainty. This was a very difficult board to mount with how the mounting is designed. It was further complicated by the fact that we placed it in a narrow passage area where the footprint was really small. Basically, we laughed that once we got this up, it would never come down. A bit heavy too. Amazon returns are good and easy so you could see for your purpose.

Louise, The back of this magnetic board is open like a stretched canvas would be. I am sure it would not magnetically hold onto a metal surface. You need something flat that maybe you could paint the back of with magnetic paint. We hung ours on nails in our plaster wall and used a level to make sure it was straight. We love it. It keeps clutter off the fridge. Only regret is I should have gotten a bigger one.

It does need mounted, and no it would not be something to put on a door. The backside has a lip so it sticks out from the wall 3/4".

No this board is not magnetic. This little 8 1/2 x 11 did come with a magnet that you can put onto the back of it and then can hang onto your refridgerator. It should say what it comes with to hang.

My husband had to drill holes in the side of the cabinet to hang it. The back is not magnetic. Love it though, it looks good and keeps one less butcher block on my counters.

Yes - the back is "magnetic" but since it is mounted in a steel frame the holding power to the rear is limited. The effectiveness of the magnetic strip is not outstanding - for your purpose go to MSC and pay $50 to $60 for a real magnetic strip tool holder which has a strong attraction - this item is far less expensive and of lesser quality.

a fridge magnet would not stick, so I'm guessing some heavy duty black plastic. It does have some weight to it and of course the inside components are metal. Hope this helps.

interesting Q.... I just tried mine (not yet mounted) and yes it grabbed very well to the metal refrig side. It would probably take the magnet with it tho' as you draw. I'd use a couple small screwsShould work fine. The magnets are VERY powerful. I have two I just received and they will leap together and would nip a fingertip off if you are not careful.Steve

No, they're magnetic. I stick them on the refrigerator and metal cabinets in the garage, they're even strong enough to stick to the sheet metal used to reinforce drywall corners even though I pretty much use them to hang keys, hats, and other fairly light stuff. And they don't have a hole through which you could put a screw.

Yes it can be mounted to a metal door. You will need metal screws and a drill to pre drill holes. Hope that helps . I have this on all my exterior doors.

I'm not sure how you could use this on a double glass door unless you can mount it on the top of the door way at each doorway. The doors would have to swing out from the unit with the magnet attached to the door and the unit on the frame of the door way?

Only works on metal doors that a magnet will stick to. See if a magnet will stick. There is a type that fits over the corners of the door, not sure where to find them.

Yes it is stainless steel. It's a piece of stainless steel sheet metal. Yes & no. Magnets will stick to the back side w/o a doubt. But, it is built so it has edges that fold over to the backside of the board. It allows the board about half an inch spacing from where it's being mounted. It's a quality piece of stainless steel and is/was made in Germany, not China.

You don't actually mount it on a board. It's substitute filler for a 3 inch wide Filler panel like you get in cabinet section of hardware store. It goes between wall mounted cabinet pieces. But it is 3 inch wide yes

I mounted it on the surface of the door. I do believe you can mount it with screws, I chose to use super Velcro, which holds it very well. The outside of my door is metal and I did not want to drill holes in it. I bought the super Velcro myself.

No, the whole thing is not magnetic. But you can make it that way if you buy sticky magnetic strips and put on the back of it...That's what I did.

I don't know if it is magnetic, because I didn't keep the board. When I received the board it did not have a frame, so I returned it. I wanted a board with a frame.

No it is not magnetic in that I put a kitchen magnet on it and it did not stick. Does that answer your question?

If you want to get the best performance then use the screws. If you use double sided tape, magnets probably won't be held properly and your cabinet won't be secure at all.
