Does it also work as a door stopper?

It will not hold the door firmly in one place like a door stop. It can be set to swing the door open or swing the door closed. You can adjust how fast and hard it does this with a set screw. I use one of these hinges in the center of my junky, builder's grade pressed cardboard bathroom door and it gently swings it closed. You can use multiple hinges and set the tension higher for heavier doors or for a more forceful close. Basically, it's just a door hinge with a coil spring on the pin. There is no mechanism on the hinge itself to lock the door in one position. You are just adjusting the tension to open or close the hinge. I think it works well for it's intended purpose.

Yes. The clamp is very sturdy and would clamp on to most anywhere you put it. But remember...you cannot close the door with the clamp attached.

No. The device lays over the door with spacers that "catch" against the closed door.

Yes it does. However, a stop is also recommended. A stop, whether it be for a door or for a gate, takes the load upon closing. Without a stop, a wind blowing the gate shut or someone slamming the gate shut, the impact load would be transferred to the latch. It can tweak the gate. No Good. Unless it's a very small gate, add a stop.

It holds the door in place. The door can be partly opened or completely closed. It involves the under side of the bottom of the door. A rubber door stop may be simpler to use than the Door Jammer. It takes a minute to install. Not a big deal. But a door stop is super easy.

To the best of my knowledge this device is designed to assist in closing a door. I cannot think of a way that a person could install it to retard the closing of a door. The answer would be no.

Yes. I really haven't used it enough to get use to the stop bar, but it does work. It is sturdy.

It would not work for that situation. It is designed to close a door, not slow it down.

It's just a door stop, so yeah, if you don't move it to the side then it will go off.

Yes it does. That is what we use it for. We bought it as a deadbolt not a child proof device and it works great.

It will not work on a door that opens out. I didn't realize that when I bought mine.

No, unless the door is slightly open. You can also open it all the way if you're worried about it. I had too much in it and the door wouldn't stay closed and noticed that there was a shadow in the corner but other than that it works fine.

The door stop didn't hold up to a regular classroom door where middle schoolers were bumping into it as they passed it. If it is at a home where there is no heavy traffic, it will do fine. I don't recommend it for doors that are constantly being pushed.

To stop fingers from being smashed it would work....because you're essentially putting it on backwards, using it as a "door can open but not close all the way" tool. If you want it to hold a door shut, it needs to have the jam to clip onto when it swings to the shut position. Just like the picture shows, it will actually clip to that jam, so you can't open the door without breaking the device or pulling the lever to open it.

That depends on what you want it to do. It will keep the door mostly closed, but it is unlikely that the door will close all the way. Being on the hinge side of the door it takes quite a bit of torque to latch the door. If you need the door to close all the way you should probably look in to a commercial closer.

Depends on the floor surface. It has a rubber bottom that will give friction on a hardwood floor; on carpet, not so much. I would not use it as a door stop, but it is wedge-shaped so I suppose you could. Note that there must be a gap between the bottom of the door and the floor for this product to work: if there is weather stripping and the door is sealed to the frame when shut, there won't be space to fit the wedge in.

Yes it would, but if you wanted it to work with the door completely closed as well, you'd have to use two.
