Can this hold open a commercial office door?

I would say that if the door had a Fire Marshall approved closer on it, then absolutely not. These magnets are not strong enough to resist the force of a commercial door closer.

Would think it certainly would hold a commercial office door. The stopper has a spring on it which will help absorb the impact of a door swinging open and catch it. The magnet is strong but the heavier the door the more likely the door will be to bounce off the catch.

Howdy! I put these in my home on the interior doors to prevent the wind from blowing them closed. They are eight foot solid wood doors so are heavy and a lot of area for the breeze to catch. They work great and I love them for this application. When you say a "commercial" door I visualize an outside door with a door closer and you are wanting an easy way to hold it open when needed. I personnally do not think the magnet is strong enough for either outside winds or the strength of a door closer.

The magnet is quite strong, so it should be able to hold open a commercial office door.

It probably has about a pound of holding force. So if there was an automatic closure on the door, then probably not.

I guess it would depend on what material your office door is made of (i.e. solid wood / metal). i have it on interior doors at home and the magnet is pretty strong. If you have a very heavy door it may hold but allow easy release if bumped. So far I have been happy with the product.

the magnet seems strong enough. I think the question would be if you are able at attach it to the door (assuming the door is metal)

It takes about 10 lbs of pull to make my door release from the magnetic door stop. That is added to a large spring's tension trying to close it. So if you can measure the force trying to close your door, and it is less than say 8-10 lbs, might just work. You could always buy one, try it. Amazon often has "used" units a a nice discount.

it would be a squeeze- possibly not wide enough... also when door is installed, not much room to walk through opening as a human!

Probably not, it cups the frame of the door so I don't think you would be able to close the door.

Yes. I would at least asume. It opens a good amount. Almost 2.5 inch.. not sure how thick or wide your cubicle is

I should say yes. What they mean is it can open up to 108 inches and hold. So theoretically it should work just fine. These things are pretty sturdy and hold up nicely. I would say go for it.

Yes, I bought two, one for work, yes, I am that lucky to be able to take my Boxer to work, my office door is 36 x 80 and only had to use a 2x4 to make it work. You will love this product because they cannot climb it.

It works best being in a horizontal position. It could be positioned vertical, but would not work very well. There also has to be a space between the device and the desk so one can open the front door.

Hi Lorinda, I do not believe that this opener would work in that application unless the door drops directly from the bottom of the coup allowing the opener to lift verticaly as it is designed to do--Jon

Yes, There is some adjustment in the hardware for thickness of the door. It should work.
2029120
it may work but i think the door has to be thicker. i'm thinking that type of door may not be very strong for this type.

It can but that inhibits the door opening if you recess it to far. I have two and they are both partially recessed to allow the door to open.
2027124
Yes, this would work on any door. It is also very sturdy and will hold heavy clothing such as coats.

I can't see why not actually. As long as it goes with the direction of the door opening.

Not without some force being applied. Won't hold a door with a hydraulic closer on it.

It sort of can. If you open the clip all the way it will lock open. May work in some instances

No. I just tug on the door and the magnet will release the door. It holds well but is easy to open. I am pleased with mine.

I would think so, but then a robber could just reach in and unscrew it. It also matters how much room you have between the bottom of the door and the floor. Remember the item is used for blocking out intruders, not to leave the door open.
