How does the main unit mount on a wall? Double-sided tape? Velcro? A screw?

Others have answered this -- However, have you considered magnets? (If you want this near, say, your washing machine, a modest sized neodymium magnet glued to the back of the alarm, should stick quite well to a metal appliance. I bought 10 magnets, a pair of which would hold this device, for 3 bucks at a national hobby store.) Amazon has 91 pages of neodymium magnets - I looked at the first 3 pages and they'd all be overkill to hold the Watch Dog I'm sure Amazon has them, but finding the right size might take a little time.

The safest way would be to put a screw/nail in the wall. The unit has a slotted hole for a device with a head to safely hold the unit to the wall. It is light enough however, to use double sided tape or velcro which would be better than tape. I would reccomend the screw, should you have to change the battery, just pick the unit off of the wall.

There are holes in the back for a screw or nail. It is very light weight. The sensors are two dime sized metal pads on the base so you can just set it on the surface you want to protect. Unhook the base plate (like a battery cover) and you can put the sensors about 6' feet away on a wire that plays out. If you do this you might want to mount it since the base is now partly removed.

It has holes in the back for mounting with screws. double-sided tape would work but I wouldn't recommend it because you'll need to remove it to change the battery. Velcro would work. I have two that just sit on a surface. If you're using the sensor that is on the end of the wires, then mounting it might make sense but probably still wouldn't be necessary.

There is an opening for only one screw in my unit, with space for a 6 mm diameter screw head.

There are no holes on the back for mounting - you could use two sided tape.

screws but an alternative that would work is Scotch Extreme mounting tape I think

husband did the installation. i think there were 2 anchor screws. magnet is kind of heavy, very strong!, and sturdy. mounting on drywall possible if you attach to wood support behind drywall. i've been a renter-would not recommend unless you leave it behind for the next occupant. hope this helped.

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.

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.

Hey Jim, My version didn't have a mounting option. When I reviewed it, this was one of the suggestions I made. I have put some double sided tape on it and it has been holding up pretty well.

Mine is installed on the wall, but you might try that spongy double-sided tape - something like this: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotch-Mounting-125-Inch-314/dp/B0007P5G8Y/ref=sr_1_10?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1412563943&sr=1-10&keywords=double+sided+tape

two screws. Make sure you find the stud. It has the extra accessories to mount on regular dry wall but I don't trust it. Find the stud and you set for a long time.

Comes with 2 screws for wall mounting. A poster said horizontal mounting wasn't supported by the plastic clips; I have them vertically mounted.

There is a bracket to hang unit on the wall. You can use that with some anchors if going into wall board. You may also want to use a 1 X 4 X 16" board and install that between the studs and then hang unit on the board for stability.

Yes.. in fact you can use both screw and the tape. However, there is no need to screw it to the wall. I have installed these in every home we've owned and never had one come loose from the wall. I apply the doublesided tape and the silicone only. In fact, when renovating one time I had to remove one in order to do that wall. Talk about a chore to get off!! They STAY.

I can see there are two little holes at the back which are likely for wall mounting screws. Pls contact the Seller in case of further query. Thanks.

It comes with a small piece of velcro and two screws for mounting. However I used 3M duraloc tape to finish my install and it is much more secure.

It can be fastened with screws, which are supplied with the drywall fasteners if I remember correctly. Or, I think a strong double sided tape would work. Personally, I would use the screws, less damage to drywall vs tape.
