I am going to be installing cabinets & was wondering if the magnets are strong enough to work through the cabinet backing?

I think that if the cabinet backs are 1/4" the magnets will, probably, work. If the backs are any thicker the magnets may not work. They are, however VERY strong.Now I have a question for you: Why are you not locating the studs prior to install? Much easier and certain to work

I don't think so. The magnets just work to find the drywall screws that have been hidden under thin layer of paper and spackle. But they do that pretty well. It would be great for locating the studs so that you can attach the braced that hold the cabinets, but not through extra layers of material. I would recommend buying extra magnets. This is a good gadget for your toolbox, and not to expensive either.

I doubt it. I noticed where someone else had problems with these through thick plaster

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

The magnets are very strong! And the adhesive is very strong as well. I am a teacher and use them on the white/magnet erase board for calendar and daily schedule. I beleive they will work fine for what you want.

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.

That's exactly what it's for. I'm thrilled with mine. The magnets are extremely strong. You put the rack inside the sink and the magnets under the counter on the sink and it holds really strong.

Antonio, thanks for the question. The magnets are very strong and just in case you are not totally satisfied, write me and I'll take care of you. No worries at all.

I would think they would work if you apply the sticky tape as described to the correct sides, long tape on long side and short tape on short side as shown on manufacturers web page, they should work just fine. However remember the surface for which you use it on could be damaged if the cabinets are pressed wood or other pre manufactured wood. I think the Benefits outweigh that problem though.

I use them to hold tools in the garage like the picture shows. Like other magnets they have a good hold in the direction of the pole however the lateral isn't as strong, so you can slide tools pretty easily. I've not had any issues with the holding power of the magnets however I've not tested the limits either.

They are not sticky so you would need to adhere something to the back. I hot glued magnets to the back of mine.

They wouldn't be very effective on a full size door, they aren't strong enough for that. Even for heavy cabinet doors, the manufacturer recommends using two, from what I remember of the instructions.

These magnets are a bit more expensive than others, but they are well worth the cost. Not only are they very strong, but they will stick to anything, including unfinished wood. As a matter of fact, make sure that you have them positioned properly before you place them, because once there they are applied, It's almost impossible to pull them off to reposition them.

They are nice but they do not have the strongest magnets. I do not suggest this if you have a nice knife set. But to answer your question I have had nothing but problems with mine.

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

They are really smooth on the outsides but I would think it would depend on what you were using the magnets to stick to fridge. I know they are surprisingly strong!

They stay put, really grip the cabinets. They have been in my cabinets for 17 years. They worked so good I got the idea to use it for backing on a double backed rug and it worked!

Im not sure about the wood cabinet door. It would probably work if the thickness of the door is similar to the finished thickness of drywall (about 5/8"). Yes it comes with a backing bracket, which should also allow for some flexibility in the material you mount it too (wood cabinet).

It depends on if you have molding underneath the cabinet. If so, then likely yes as these wiremolds are pretty thin.
