Also duct tape is pretty good but you really need to make sure the surface is clean and you REALLY need about one Press firmly on the strip for a full minute or it will not adhere perfectly. There's a lot of hassle, but once installed, it's pretty much installed. This thing holds my broom, dustpan, butler and mop (even if the mop is still a little wet from use!) and shows no sign of slipping. It's too narrow anyway, so I have to hang different tools at different heights to make it fit. If it was, say, 6 inches wider and each button spaced a little apart, that would probably be perfect.
