I plan to use this on my tile wall by the sink. Can I just use those Command Large Picture-Hanging Strips instead of screwing it?

I wouldn't recommend that. A picture stays in place without much resistance. You'll be bumping and pulling on this. Pick up a small set of tile drill bits and screw it into the wall with plastic anchors.

I don't think it would work well if you didn't use screws. I can't really see the hanging strips really holding it in good enough.
1774583
Yes I would think so. Worse case scenario, you'd have to use two command strips.. but I think one ought to do it

I would say yes if it were just for looks, but the paper towel rolls don't seem to spin all that easily on the mount. Because of this there's quite a bit of tension on where it's mounted to the wall. You may be safe if you covered the entire length of the back with adhesive, but I couldn't say for sure.

FWIW - I have grown VERY fond of 3M's Command strips. I have used the direct double-sided command strips and the picture hanging strips with fasteners. They leave no trace when you take them off, and hold decently well. One of the better inventions of the last few years.

The velcro side of the hanging strips is very strong, but unfortunately the glue side is not. I tried them with a 5 lb clock and the strips just fall off the wall because the glue isn't strong enough. Unfortunately I think you're stuck with a nail or something, or at least using some better clue to hang the hangers.

it depends on the weight you intend to hang from the strip. i am hanging some basic tools and screws with plastic anchors seem sufficient. but as the weight increases, studs is what i would be looking for to anchor the strips.

if you really truly trust command strips with whatever you plan to hang on these...there are two screws in each end to secure to the wall... i rather think the screws would do less damage to your wall should you want to take it down and move it for any reason... my ONLY experience with command strips was disastrous to the wall (and i can't imagine it looking good to have that under the base pieces?)... and since only the rim would be afixed to the command strips... i recommend the screws... but you could always try it ... and after the disaster THEN you could use the screws :o) good luck!!!

I believe so. The strips are not heavy...although this comes with hardware to install.....i didn't want to use as i am not sure i want to leave them where they are now.......so i used clear packing tape. perfect. i did not tape over the little led lights....just along side. The on/off switch, however, i did not tape. It is setting on the counter. Very bright warm light! Love it!

Same as the other answers.I would not hang it by Command hooks either.I load mine up with clothes.I love it.I worked it in with some other things on the wall so it looks like it is part of that.

There are two countersunk holes in each base-plate, meant to take #10 (or #12) flathead screws, with drywall anchors if necessary. If you don't want to drill holes in your wall, you could use other methods, depending on the total weight of the items you'd be hanging. Afraid I don't know what "Command Strips" are, so can't advise about those, one way or the other. If you do use the screws the bases were designed for, the racks will hold a great deal of weight: I hang three cast iron skillets, two Teflon® skillets and 3 or 4 miscll. utensils on just one of the Ikea racks I have, and it's perfectly stable.

YES! I have used it on a vertical wall and it works great. Amazon sells one "Command Picture Hanging Strips, Small, White, 8-Strip for about $6.00.

You could try a 3M hook. Sorry, there is no way to know for sure what will work for your wall.

I have used a lot of different command hooks but I have always used them on flat walls. Sorry :-(

I used Command Strips that are used to hang picture frames, which makes putting them up really easy, and then there's no real mess when you go to take them down. Really, the foam itself shouldn't cause any huge issues when it comes to hanging them, it mostly comes down to the solution that you use to hang them. Just make sure you use enough to keep the panels up. I used 3 of the "Command Large Picture Hanging Strips" per panel in a triangular pattern, one in both of the top corners and one in the middle at the bottom.

You should be able to - it's very light weight. If you will be installing it on the underside of a cabinet or shelf, so that it "hangs", or if it's above a sink or in a room where there's a lot of humidity or steam, I might suggest using some of the Command (or other brand) heavy duty velcro strips. since I'm not sure how the adhesive strips will perform when they're constantly exposed to moisture.

I did not have good luck hanging a frame about half that size on my tile wall. Mine was moderately heavy. The stripes held it for a few days then the frame fell. Other smaller pics have stayed up just fine.

These strips and all the Command adhesive strips work best on smooth painted surfaces. I applied several to a painted sheetrocked wall and they kept falling off, pulling the paint off as they went. I have mounted a number on the insides of closet doors and they are holding up very well. But the instructions are clear that these aren't guaranteed to hold--they instruct you to not use them to hang things over beds or to hang valuable or breakable items--because they know that these strips may not hold.

I was the house director for a fraternity house for several years. Command was on my list to parents along with power surge extension cords and other necessities.When removed slowly by pulling the tab the wall is left unblemished. You can not hang a moose head or a freeway sign with Command. While Command hangers are more expensive than the traditional nail the use of Command hangers is far less then the loss of a security deposit.
