Older home where doors are recessed an inch+ deeper than molding. Will this unit work with transmitter on door (deeper side) and magnet on molding?

You will need to cut a small piece of wood and place behind the sensor to make them flush. It is also recommended that the sensor be stationary and the magnet be on the door, to prevent unnecessary wear on the device.

Yes. My door is 1 1/8" thick. I installed the aluminum track flush with the front of the door. Works perfect.Regards, bob

When you go to tape it, measure first, then find a place on the door to stick the tape closer together, it might make a small gap in the top but when it closes by the magnets it should be ok

Yes. Just wire the transmitter into the existing door bell.... Theinstructions are asy to follow...

It won't work with any door that doesn't have a large enough gap between the sill and the bottom of the door. In other words, you have to sacrifice weather and bugs entering the bottom in order to get this wedge far enough under the door to stick there. Then there's the issue of the material upon which it sits. If it sits on a throw rug, the door when opening will slide the stopp back and will be of no use. If it sits on a solid but someone rough surface, it should grab that surface and work to a degree. I found it to be useless in my house, where I favor a tight fit between the door sill and the door. I returned it and bought a different device, which suits my needs.

Probably yes..... You just need two surfaces that are level with each other. I'm assuming one of the surfaces would be the stationary panel and the other would be the operating panel on your sliding door. As long as the sensors are able to align when the door is not moving it should work just fine as long as there is enough surface area to mount each part of the product to.

If I understand the question, it would work if you mounted the large part on the door and inset the magnet into the trim.

If you didn't have a door bell working prior to buying this extender, then it won't work. It is meant to attach to the old unit and when the door bell is pressed, it sends a signal to the remote unit. If you had a working unit prior to buying the extender, then check your wiring.Mine works fine except the original unit plays at a volume lower than before and the extender is quite loud, which is fine for my use.

it will work space wise but the door is basically very thin and very flexible you would need to install more magnets on the door side probably not that difficult

No! This silly system won't work for any trim, or molding of any sort! Trust me as an electrician I am in a different home almost everyday and have never seen a front door that will work for this thing with out some kind of modification. Plus it is flimsy trash! Spend a couple hundred bucks and get something that will work! Its garbage!

Yes, it will work. The door can be no more than 40 inches wide. In your case, the "grippers" or "bumpers" should overhand the door facing by about 2 inches on each side. That should be enough to hold you up. In my opinion, as long as you perform the pull-ups correctly, you shouldn't have to worry about the device slipping or shifting. From my review: One thing to make sure of: Wall thickness! I have walls in an older home that are about 8 inches thick. This pull-up bar only fits walls that are 7 inches at most. I had to look all over the house for someplace where the wall was thin enough to fit this. I eventually found out my walk-in closet (a recent renovation) was thin enough. Now, I have to wallk back to my bedroom closet to exercise. It's not ideal, but it works. Six to seven inches is the ideal range for wall-thickness here. Also, the doorway needs to be between 24 and 40 inches wide and at least a foot away from any wall or corner, otherwise, your pull-up bar will not fit.

I used this in a fairly tight spot with little room at the head of the door. If u have about 4" of trim above the door it should work

Yes. It works for doors up to 2 inches thick. For a door thicker than that, they recommend also getting a "wall liner" piece offered by Cat Mate, which ensures a continuous tunnel (no gaps).

With no obstructions, about 30- 40ft. Make sure you have the transmitter and door magnet sensor touching each other.

As long as the thickness of your door does not exceed the measurements, it should work. However, if your door thickness is less than the measurements of the door, you'll have to add some type of spacers. I hope this helps.

Only one unit is necessary. The magic closer would act as thou you have 3 wall buttons except it works by sending a wireless signal between transmitter and receiver. Just install transmitter next to the button you use the most and put receiver towards top left side of door (looking out) it works excellent!!! You will not be disappointed!

Mine is a an old ADT system and it works. The piece that goes into the door is only a magnet. It's pretty simple technology. When it moves away from the wired part it activates the Alarm. I think would work on most alarms.
