is this a double magnet, ie, you can secure it to a metal surface without any screws?

It is great! Does requires screws however. I've owned two of these type of knife bars and I strongly recommend this one.

It is a magnet...... Yes both sides stick to metal. :) I put one on the fridge and challenged them to remove it for 5 bucks. I still got my 5 bucks! That sucker is strong!

It is actually a large strong magnet inside a stainless steel housing that fits together like a shoe box. You remove the top of the " shoe box" and screw to wall. Then place the top back on. But be careful that sucker is strong and can pinch your fingers. If putting it on a steel backing no screws needed. It's metal. It will stick to it like white on rice.

The back of it is a metal sheet you screw to the wall to give the magnet a solid place to stick. The edges of the sheeting around it stick our enough to cover it (about 1/8 of an inch). It might stick to your metal surface on its own, but the grip won't be as strong and you might have sliding. The magnet is powerful enough to secure it to the plate it is designed for quite soundly- in fact it bit off a chunk of finger as I was placing it on the wall! I'm extremely happy with the product.

I would say probably not. I ended up not using this magnetic strip, instead opting for rare earth magnets which are much smaller and much much stronger.Plus,there was no gluing or screwing involved, all I had to do was place the magnets on the door and it works perfectly

I put it in a metal hollow core door and it works fine for me. I've not had any problem with the magnets.

No. It is a snug fit and requires contact with metal because it has magnets.

NO. Mine (purchased end of August 2013) has a snap closure. No magnets at all.

Yes, it is magnetized. It will stick to any symmetrical end-surface properly as long as that surface is ferrous. If you don't mind that much money for a little convenience, it will work for your application.

I'd say no because magnets hold it on . Possibly could be modified to work if you used double sided tape.

The mount has 4 small magnets under the rubber cover, the plate is just plain metal

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.

Doubtful, the magnet itself is pretty heavy without any knives stuck to it. I have two myself and have mounted them on the wall making sure at least one end is on a stud.

You can screw a piece of steel strip onto the bottom of a shelf in your workshop and stick the magnets there. I haven't tried it, but I suspect that the magnets are powerful enough so that you could store the whole thing "upside down" and that the magnets would hold the plastic carrier on to the bottom of the shelf.

Yup! I just stuck a magnet to it. take a look at the picture, it does what it looks like. hope this helps!

I don't think so, unless you have some REALLY strong double sided tape. We used screws, and that magnet really grips when taking a knife off.

yes. There is a metal spring clip which attaches nicely, and then a magnet on the unit, so that it attaches and unattaches very easily.

It may stick however I put two screws to hd mine . Drilled two small holes in plastic. Comes with screws. Cannot see the magnet unless you are looking for it. Secure too!

You could just lay it flat, it seems to lay fine without being magnetically attached to anything.

There is a screw in the center of the plate (see picture) that screw is drilled into the surface you wish to attach the plate to. That plate is NOT the magnet. The larger piece is. I agree with J. Metcalfe, while I inly used this little one for my child science fair project, it is mighty impressive for it's size.
