  • Kitchen - Paper Towel Holder

    My wife was tired of the paper towel holder being a movable on the counter fixture that had to be stored when moving etc. I get it. She found a couple that she like that matched and one was an adhesive version and one was a screw version. For those of you following my posts - I prefer to screw it in.....and have been resisting the attempts at adhesives on anything. I will update the master modification thread with how the war of adhesives vs. screws is going. But, I am hoping this one was a good move. People pull on the towels to rip a towel off the roll. I am not sure how well the adhesive would hold up over time.

    The screws and anchors this particular model came with were completely worthless. I thought the bottom of the wood on the cabinet was a little more solid than what it is. It is very thin. There is probably a 1.5" cavity between the bottom and the actual shelf in the cabinet. I have now lost an anchor and a toggle from a toggle bolt in the interior of this cabinet....never to be seen from again, but I am certain it will be heard as we are moving...but if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it....

    Anyway, I went to Lowe's to pickup the additional hardware needed (toggle bolts) and was able to successfully mount this contraption. +1 for screws.

    Both of course in brushed nickel. Here are both for your viewing pleasure.

      I did something similar with the following holder on Amazon.

      This one has pressure springs. It is the third time I have used a similar holder. I screw them in.

        Looks like it matches the 2400 styling nicely.

          I have seen that one on youtube. Not sure why my wife did not buy it. I guess we will see what happens when moving!

                We had a cheap plastic old school holder in our previous 5er and always had to hunt for the roll when we got to where we were going, so we changed it out with one of these;

                I was concerned that the roll would fall/bounce off those other styles. Hasn't happened yet with this one. one of the first things we installed in the new 5er. Also the brushed stainless looks nice.

                  I have that exact same paper towel holder in my reloading man cave. (Right side of photo)
