I can't figure out how to remove these from the wall. Anyone know the trick to getting them to come off?

These are held to a flat steel "donut" of metal which is itself attached to the mounting surface with a pair of screws. The magnet holds to the steel by only the magnetic pull itself, but that attraction is VERY strong! I suspect, if you are very careful, you may be able to slip a flat-blade screwdriver or strong putty knife under the lip of the magnet, between the magnet and the wall, and pry it away from the steel backing plate it is attracted to. I would caution you in this! There is a very good chance you will damage the wall beneath the magnet, where you are prying against it! The attraction between magnet and plate is that strong! Also, be wary of your fingers when trying to slip your prying device under the lip of the magnet; you will need to use a lot of pressure, and if it slips, it could stab into something! The attraction between that magnet and the metal plate behind it is so strong, I can't think of any way you could simply grab it and pull it away. Perhaps with a suitable clamp, or a very large pair of vice grips? But you're likely to mar the surface of the magnet if you aren't careful. Once you have the magnet pulled away from the backing plate, those can simply be unscrewed from the wall they are attached to.

It is actually very difficult to remove from the wall at all. I used a mud knife to remove it.

I think that you slide them on from the end first but they seem like they could possibly be pushed on with effort. They do not come off easily & I so not want to mess them up trying. Handy man set this up for me.

Well the instruction was in mine but it wasn't exactly explicit.I just figured it out somehow.What i did though was peel off the sheet of paper at the back carefully and then with great care,carefully put some pressure on the letters while putting it on the surface of the wall and then peel it slowly one at a time while lifting away the paper.I hope this helps with yours.Good luck.

Yes, I took a piece off and moved it, leaves nothing on wall. Was not hard to remove, just have to get edge.

On the back there should be plastic pieces that clip together. Hold each side and slide them towards each other they should come off.

they just stick to your wall and it might pull off some paint when you take it down. it is just a small tab that sticks to your wall. the door works great

The brackets on the back of the tv are separate from the ones on the wall. Hold the TV firmly and lift vertically upwards, the hooks on the tv brackets release from the wall brackets and the tv can be removed. Hold tv firmly as it is heavy. Also remember which hooks were used to put it back as it has several options. Good luck

Mine are actually still up. I assume you can just pull them off. I have mine on some stained woodwork. I personally would not use them on painted woodwork for fear of pulling off the paint. Hope this helps.

The best way is with both glue and staples. The glue will help hold it more securely. You can use staples to attach to the walls. Thank you.

I have only had them on for about 8(ish) months but they peel off just fine. The walls that they are stuck on was just painted a year and a half ago and when repositioning I haven't seen any damage the walls what so ever. The adhesive is very passive - enough to stick on the wall but not *too* sticky. However, I'd have to get back to you on the "several years" part - maybe someone else will pipe up?

They have adhesive on back, they come off of glass fairly easy. Wall may be different story, maybe if you just use a little pressure and not press them on tight, you may be OK. Hope this helps.

From my understanding you can remove them from the wall with a blow dryer but they are not reusable. Contact the company maybe there is a way, they were very helpful to me.

I have the same item. I would **GUESS**: Try a"REAL" Hardware Store. Also... I chose to not use screws and so avoid holes in the wall. Instead, I **thoroughly** cleaned the painted wall surface and applied a NameBrand double-sided, permanent adhesive, FOAM mounting tape - FIRST, to the ENTIRE (Cleaned) back of the key hanger. You must trim the foam to fit and NOT SHOW from the front. PRESS FIRMLY to the wall. I used a cloth over a softwood block and "tapped " with a hammer to firmly set the hanger. I gave it 24hrs to bond - didn't HAVE to, BUT... Then I hung up the Keys, etc. I have had no issues.

I used some pliers. They are very tight. I had to tare off a chunk of it and keep pulling on it until it finally came off. Good luck.

I used a spray adhesive to get mine to go up as it's easier to adjust that way. The wallpaper paste is harder to remove. If you want to be able to take it down, try a general purpose spray adhesive that is sold at all Home Depots and see what you think. I love the look of mine and it is great for focal features.
