My door and trim are not flush as the frame trim extends about an inch further out when door closed. Will the arm that secures the door be able to swing back enough for the door to open and close?

Yes, this attaches to the jamb and trim and not the door. Even if you need to mount it outward some to clear the trim it will still keep the door from opening more than the 1/2 inch you mounted it away from the door for clearance.

Yes the arm swings back against the trim which does not get in the way of the door opening or closing

I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but one of our doors has trim that extends past the door (not flush). I had to cut a section of trim out so that the door guardian swung closed to sit properly flush with the door.

My front door is the same situation that the door is approximately an inch and a quarter set back than the front of the moulding and I was still able to utilize it it has scuffed the side of he fiberglass door a bit but it is unnoticeable when closed. And the peace of mind of using them outweighs the slight blemish in the door now.

Only on certain doors. Wont be able to close all the way on doors that have a tight gap between the door and frame.

The door on ours is on the long side! Not the shorter width! Hope it helps?

I have never had a problem closing the door once the unit is hung - however you can't have it too far towards the hinge, or then it won't close. Keep the unit in the middle or towards the opening of the door and you shouldn't experience any problems.

The lock itself is recessed in the door so it does not extend past the wall at all. It only sticks out the thickness of the metal. We have ours installed behind a door. The door can fully open back all the way to the wall without even touching it.

Yes. This would work well for that purpose assuming the front or back surface of the door is flush with the door trim.

i used these last year on a job yes the hinge does come away from the frame about 1/4'' and i was able to make adjustments in the face frame for the doors to fit closer. there is a slit adjustment on them and truth is you have to work it on the frame and make sure you recess the hinge into the backside of the door flush and flat for a better finish, a bit tricky yet doable. the doors showing at the end of a row is what you need to focus on, as that is where you see the gap the most. once all the other doors are in place then it looks good. . hope this helps .iron brian

It is the same on both sides. So the answer would be no regarding opening past the frame. Depending how wide your door is, you are most likely going to first run into the buffered stopper before the handle would hit the frame ... and you don't really want to install this without the stopper ... it's one of the main features in my opinion. Plus, you want to be able to open the door from the inside, no?

The wide grip does extend pass the width of the door and it does allow for width adjustments based on your door. If you are doing a wide grip pull up from the standing position, then no. But if you are doing a hanging pull up, then I would guess yes. Hope that helps.

Not perfectly. Ours is slightly bent. Door won't close. 2 1/8 in. Thick door. It's a gamble at 2 in. A bit under 2 and I would say its ok.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for the inquiry! We are very sorry to inform you that unfortunately not as we confirmed from the manufacturer. This door was designed for 46 - 46 1/8" wide opening. But we can suggest an alternative products that are adjustable form 46" to 47". There must be some kind of spacer between the wall and the profile to narrow your opening to at least 46 3/16. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us. We always look forward to serve you better. Best Regards, Sales Team

Without knowing how tall the trim is above your door it is difficult to say for certain, but I'd say that it won't work. I have 6 inches from the outside of trim to outside of trim the bar works great for me and there is room for a slightly thicker wall. However I can tell you that it wasn't designed for a thicker wall. I think the bar might be able to fit on a 7 inch thick wall but not much thicker than that. Hope this is helpful and hope that you find something that works for you!

I have found that if you close one side partially you can fit through a space smaller than the 28 inch width. you should only do this if you feel Comfortable with the limited support you I wil lhave for a few seconds. I have found that since you are going through a doorway you can lean on the doorframe why you are doing this. Again I would emphasize that this is not the recommended use of the walkerand I wouldOnly did this if I felt comfortable.

Depends on the design of your door. Usually it'll take an extra TUG on the door, to get it to close. In general, it'll be a TIGHT fit.

the door has to be flush with the door frame for the unit to work.. It is mounted on the inside of the door.. NOT OUTSIDE..

I just measured my doorway and 5" is right at the borderline. You could definitely rest it on the trim, but if you wanted to go above the trim, it might not clear it.

You can fasten the door frame to the inside of the wall studs and trim the outside edge with brick mold trim. This makes it as secure as any other dog door that I have seen with the inside panel in place.
