do you have to screw it into the wall

Yes it comes with eye hooks that need to be screwed to wall or doorway opening and the hooks on the gate latch into those eyes two on each side.

As designed, yes. But I used a pair of (about) 6"x30" x 3/4" boards, put the screw eyes in them, hooked one to each end and made the gate stand-alone. Wider boards would add stability. This approach won't work as a strong barrier, but does discourage my min schnauzers from entering restricted rooms :)

We could never get it to work correctly by screwing it in or wedging it! I am not pleased with this gate at all. We ended up putting it in a closet somewhere....

We screwed ours into the wall. I think you are supposed to screw it into the wall. We put wall anchors in for even better hold when a stud was not an option. They worked wonderfully for us!!

Yeah, it screws in. Each side has two screws that mount the ends (one of which you can see in the picture). It can be mounted on any wall, as long as there is a stud behind the plaster, drywall, tile, wall paper, whatever.

Screws come with the package, however, you don't have to use them. My husband and I mounted it on the wall without screws and it stays without a problem.

Hello MudMonkey, Technically, yes you can screw the mount into the wall. There are screw holes in the back part of the mounting plate. Please let me know if you have any further questions! Thanks, Taylor W. VIVO Technology

The short answer is "no" since it isn't designed for that. There are no holes to screw through it into the wall. If you already have a wall plug that is nearby, your best bet would be to get a replacement outlet that increases the number of plugs available. Although you could surely find some means for attaching this to a wall, I would not recommend it because of possible safety issues.

You don't *need* to screw it into the wall, but it comes with screws. I have 2 rather rambunctious cats that will pull on the gate if I'm on the other side of it for too long. Without it being mounted to the wall, they would, without a doubt, pull it down on a daily basis.

NO. the unit has a plastic bracket that fits the back flat side to the wall. yu will need to get longer screws if securing to drywall and a stud. it a compact unit and good sucks great in tight spaces. great unit for the price. iron brian

It really does need to be screwed into the wall. It doesn't come with pressure mounts but I used some from another gate and it worked ok.

Yes. It also comes with screws but you'll want to use your own, better ones for drywall mounting or it will rip out of the wall.

No you don't have to screw it into anything, the feet just sit on the desk top. You have option of drilling hole through desk so the feet don't take up any space but I just used the base. It allows me to shift the monitors left or right if I need to get behind them.

I simply screwed it to the wall with the screws supplied. It's better if you can locate the wall studs or you will need to use plastic sheetrock fasteners after drilling the appropriate sized holes.

I didn't, but it probably can be attached to the wall. Its very easy to put together. I put it together by myself. I love it. It doesn't take up a lot of space.

You can screw it into a wall. It's a good product. Been using one for months and have never had a problem.

I gave this as a gift to my daughter. To my knowledge it is not necessary to attach to the wall. They have had a year and really enjoyed it.

Mine came with screws. My husband mounted it to the wall. Maybe you should return it to get proper hardware. Once mounted, you are going to love it!

Like any other you need a box secured in the wall that you can screw it in, check YouTube for details
