Jar opener

I'm just curious. One of the reviews states that "if you have a
cabinet lip, you are cautioned to use only two screws." Why is that?

Sorry to respond so late - - the two required screws are the front ones that
go up into the cabinet frame. If the frame forms a lip then you need a
proper thickness shim board to take up the lip space between the opener and
the cabinet floor before installing a third screw in the rear. If you try a
shim board that's too thin, there's a chance the opener plastic might crack,
so rather than risk that, they're saying the opener is strong enough to use
with just the front screws holding it.
