Common mounting methods are hardware-mounted (screwed to the wall or frame), pressure-mounted (tension-fit without drilling), and wall-mounted or bracket systems. Choice depends on whether you want a permanent installation or a tool-free / moveable option.
Reported heights range roughly from 31 inches to 36 inches, with many models commonly listed at about 33–35 inches.
