I drilled a pilot hole just a little smaller than the supplied screws in my steel doors. Worked with no problem.

Hi

Thanks for the tip of drilling a pilot hole.  


Would you by any chance have any idea what size screw I would need to use?   When I did the tape mount approach originally, I threw out the original screws.

Hi phoner,

Our Support team can get you some replacements. Just give us a call at 800-548-9508!

But if you wanted to stick with the tape (pun not intended), we would suggest replacing with a stronger type. We recommend 3M-brand Command Adhesives. They even have the "outdoor" kind that holds on extra strong, so it might be good for that high traffic area.
