can this be installed on the side of a kitchen cabinet? How deep do the screws go?

The screws are about 1 3/8" deep for use on drywall. For kitchen cabinet made of solid material, you could you could purchase a different depth of screw and not use the wall anchors it will be fine, but make sure the head of the screw can enter the mounts.

It's s solid, substantial piece. I wouldn't recommend the side of a kitchen cabinet, unless it's a very solid cabinet. I have those cheap press board cabinets, yours might be better.

Asked my hubby who installed it, and he said he more than likely bought screws to fit (not using the one's enclosed with the product). We also mounted it on the outsideof a cabinet, so not a very thick piece of wood. Love the holder, it allows for more counter space now.

Yes, just take care that the screws don't go through the face of the cabinet door. We used different, shorter screws than the ones that came with the unit.

The organizer needs screws that are provided. There are 2 screw holes at the top and 1 at the bottom. The holes at the top are 1 1/2 inches from each side. I was afraid when ordering it that it wouldn't fit on the back of my kitchen cabinet doors because they are recessed on the outside. But the organizer fit right in and the screws are in the deeper part of the wood.

There was def some room to give when I used this on standard drywall, but I couldn't give you an exact depth the screws allowed

Probably not. If the cabinet is 15" once you subtract the thickness of the material forming the side walls (.5"ea? .75"ea) your interior dimension of the cabinet might be 13.5"-14". Don't forget that under mount sinks have brackets that attach to the bottom side of the countertop and require an additional 1" of clearance around the sink....so you need about 15 5/8" to mount it. There are ways to mount it without the supplied bracket, that's another conversation.

I'd worry more about the depth of the screw if your doors are thin. If you have 1/2 thickness on your cab door, these will work. Less than that, I'm not sure. If you're worried about the hardness of the wood, pre-drill and add a little soap (liquid or dry--doesn't matter) to each screw right before you screw it in. I installed mine on the back side of a pantry door.

Depth is probably a bit under two inches. My cabinet thickness is more narrow but they worked great for me.

The screws are no more than 1/2 inch long. The base were the screws go into is concave as well. I have mine mounted on the frame of a widow above the kitchen sink. I would suggest mounting it on the frame area of the cabinet...not just the cabinet's thin middle section. Even if the screws that are supplied are to long once you receive it... You can always pick up some new screws that work with your cabinet. The rack itself is impossible to find in stores! It's a good deal! I'm happy with my purchase....

These can be mounted to the back of the cabinet, rather than the sides, and are very sturdy once installed. I think you should therefore have enough clearance. Why don't you order one. It comes fully assembled, so you will be able to know immediately if it works. It's Amazon; you can always return it if it doesn't work. I love mine. I used them in every cabinet.

I measured mine - 1 1/4 inch total but only an inch goes in the wall (cabinet). I'm sure you could use shorter screws of the same width (Home Depot or lowes) if you wanted it screwed in.

I installed this awhile back, but i had to make sure the screw was going through the thickest part of my cabinet. If your cabinets are very thin, it might not work with the provided screws and you might have to get smaller ones at the hardware store. You could reinforce the organizer on the door with some sticky tape too if you need to use smaller screws.

I didn't either so I cut dados/slots in the sides of the cabinet to give just enough clearance for these guys to fit. Only ended up being about 1/4" deep + the existing gap between the drawer and cabinet side walls. Is that an option on your project? Good luck!

Yes. You'd probably have to use different screws than the ones it comes with (since they are fairly long - they would probably go through the cabinet door).

Yes. There are actually 4 holes to place the two base screws into. Two on each side. The two holes furthest apart are 6 inches apart while the other holes could be 5 or 4 inches part depending in which you use. I did not need to drill. I used a hammer and a punch to start the hole and then screwed in the screws in less then a minute each. My cabinets are solid wood so may e that is why I was able to do this. I hate clean up after using a drill. Good luck

The provided wood screws are too long for under-cabinet mounting: they would protrude into the cabinet. I recommend a round-head wood screw, #12 in size, 3/4-inch in length. Even a 3/4" may be too long, so have a few washers handy. I used three on mine. You want a round-head screw because the underside of the head is flat, not tapered, and will press firmly against the base of the towel holder. Most of these screws are plain slot, not Phillips, so they can be difficult to drive in. Use a screw starter (also known as a "gimlet") or a drill to make a hole for the screw to dig into.

yes it can and will just be careful when you install it.you may have to use spacers to keep the screws from penetrating into the interior of the cabinet
