Will the magnet mount it to a steel surface without screws? Will that work?

The magnets you would use to attach this to a refrigerator are neodymium ring magnets like these 10 Neodymium Magnets 3/4 x 1/4 x 1/8 inch Ring N48 or these 10 Neodymium Magnets 3/4 x 1/2 x 1/8 inch Ring N48. You can also find bar magnets with pre-drilled holes but they likely will be too large and stronger than you want for this purpose. Two things you should know about these if you have never used rare earth magnets: first, they are far, far stronger than any other magnet type the average person has come across in their lifetime and can easily injure yourself (I have used the first size linked above and had several blood blisters and pinched the skin off my fingers to prove this is true). The other thing to know is that like much weaker ceramic magnets, they are brittle and you cannot easily drill your own holes in these without them crumbling apart. That is why you need the ring magnets instead of disks (unless you can insert the disks into a compartment or internal space without using a screw) for the knife holder. The ring magnets are also more versatile and fun than the disks since you can stack the left over ones on a straw and watch them float three or four inches apart. Lastly, brass screws will not be magnetic and easier to use with these.

Depending pm the surface you're mounting to. Brick requires a brick anchor like a red head wood just wood screws Hope that helps v

Yes however the magnetic feature won't work to hold it in place. It will have to be on a flat surface

Correct, but only if the previous nail or screw was not centered in the first place. You have to assume the person who put up the drywall originally did the job right. I suppose you could just use a strong magnet too, but it's worth the cost.

Are the screws in the same place, but behind the plate? If so, the magnets are pretty strong and could possibly hold. If they are in a different location, it will not work. The magnets are only slightly larger than the screws. They need to align. Hope this helps!

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.

It will work where ever you put it. If you want to mount it outside where it is exposed to the elements, the company has a exterior magnetic case available.

No, the steel is not magnetic. you would have to find another solution to your idea.

It mounts with screws. Although i did not mine sits on counter top by my choice

Surface to surface friction. As the screen is not metal how exactly do you expect magnets to work on it?

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.

Not too sure, I usually only use the magnet part of the mount. Sorry, but the magnetic mount is great!

Well, you would have to have the polar opposite of this magnet for those to work with what you want. You might be better off using just a piece of metal available at your local hardware store (Home Depot).

It would need to be stainless or cast iron. If a magnet won't stick to it the answer is no.

Yea the magnetic is what holds it in place. Not a good idea if yours is made of plastic.

There are mounting brackets located on each end, holding the magnets slightly off the surface. By taking the brackets off, they would probably lie flat. Mine are already mounted, or I would try it out for you.

Yes, it clamps the device to iron and steel. Also to a steel bracket, provided, that can be screwed to nonmagnet materials to clamp the device. I often use this to mount it to wood studs.
