Will this product adhere to a slightly textured plaster surface? I want to hang a magnetic knife holder that weighs between 1-2 lbs.

I really think it will, I used it to hold my iPad up on a stand and it works great. The ipad with the case weigh about the same I would say. Just make sure to press down on the strip that going on the plaster wall to make sure every piece of the strip is making contact with the wall for best results

It depends on whether the magnet is against the metal directly with the weight glued to the magnet, or the weight is in the form of cardboard or cloth separating the magnet from the metal and providing effective slippage. The magnet is difficult to remove if holding something thin to a smooth metal surface. I would guess it will hold pounds as apposed to ounces.

I put it on a textured wall and it worked great. I feel sure it will stick to wood wall.

i havent tried it but if it was a smooth sureface or if you were to cover it with a 1/4" luan i would think it would stick well.smooth finish ply wood should work as well..

I don't think so, unless you have some REALLY strong double sided tape. We used screws, and that magnet really grips when taking a knife off.

I think it would. Mine is already mounted parallel to the wall, but it is very strong. Mine currently holds 12 knives from a small paring knife to a large chef knife. The trick is to "pry" the knife off to break one of the two magnetic strips. But I would be confident mounting parallel to the floor.

Unless that cleaver is made of metals less attractive to magnets (some stainless steels are like that, for instance) these magnets will have absolutely no problem holding it up. I tested mine with a 14" Henckels fry pan (inductive rated) and a 12" heavy cast iron skillet, and a single magnet was enough to hold either one VERY securely! That cast iron skillet is far heavier than any normal kitchen utensil I'd think to hang on one of these, so I'm sure it will hold any "normal" item with no worries.

Possibly, it depends on the type of wall. If the wall is the "horse hair plaster" type it will have horizontal wood lattice with the plaster attached to and between the lattice. If the hole drilled, is through the plaster AND the lattice it may just hold. On the other hand if the wall is just 1/2" sheetrock than its a coin toss. However I would try it anyway and mount something else (not the tv) of that weight capacity plus an additional 10 lbs (50lbs total) and see what happens. Goodluck!

If this is the bamboo one with holes for screws--and you screw the holder down on solid wood, it would hold jeans and sweat pants. I just pulled on mine pretty hard and it held. The pegs held as well. I don't think it would hold, however, if you screwed it to wall board even with molly bolts. I have to emphasize that this mount must be the one with holes in the mount, and not one with just the two loop hangers in the back. Screw into solid wood. Note: I just hung 4 pairs of jeans on the mount and it was quite stable. Just follow my advice above.

I just held up a heavy magnet to the base and sides and it did not adhere to either. There was a slight attraction on the sides, but not enough to hold the magnet.

Yes, the one I have is the Satin nickel finish. As for the weight, I'm sorry I don't remember. I hung it on a beaded board wall in one of the bathrooms. I remember mounting a flat plate to the wall and the cover of the mirror holder fit over that with 2 threaded posts coming out and knurled cap nuts to hold the hinged plate on the wall. If your problem is going into sheetrock, there are screw-in anchors that really hold a lot of weight. Hope this helps.

I have never used it to hold up any wall hanging. My experience with this product makes me very hesitant to use it for your intended purpose. The weight of the art work will be a big consideration. If you are willing to give it a try, you would be a experienced source of information for the next potential user. Good Luck.

Sorry, I tried using it to hold lightweight shutters in place. The magnet itself might be strong enough but the double sided tape on the back is not very good. Hope this helps...

My refrigerator magnets will stick to it. It doesn't seem to be as firm a hold as to my fridge, but does hang on to the bottom without dropping loose.

No, it can not. This magnetic knife holder is meant to be mounted to a vertical surface by the way of screws. The back is not magnetic so you will not be able to stick it to the side of a refrigerator.

It is possible , if you get strong enough magnets. Your degree of success will be determined by 1. the strength of the magnets you use, and 2. The total weight of the "Knife Bar" plus items you are trying to support. If I were absolutely committed to mounting this to a refrigerator, I would consider something more foolproof; like epoxy. Falling items like sharp kitchen knives could be extremely dangerous.

If the nickel content of the panel is too high, magnetic objects won't stick. However, that being said, even if magnets can be attached, even a very strong magnet wouldn't be strong enough to hold your utensils.
