Correct, you will need to chisel small portion of the door out, it shows a diagram in the instructions

My hubby installed our new ones but they lay flat against door frame. Basically looks like the door fits in between the cylinder pieces. Hope this helps.

If the part that attaches to the door is not sitting flat, then you probably have a door that is thicker than 1 1/4" (probably 1 3/8"), in which case, you will have to notch the door to accommodate the metal flanges that are preventing the hinge flap from laying flat.

There are 2 tabs that stick out from the hinge that keeps the door from sitting flat. If that is what you are referring to you will need to notch out 2 small indents in the corner of the door to allow the tabs to go into them thus allowing the hinge to sit flush with the edge of the door. If I am mis-understanding your question, let me know

This hinge is built backwards, the top plate in the picture is supposed to be flat, it is not because it was put on backwards. No way to turn it around. i returned these for hinges which are built correctly.

You question provides possible insight into what I'd considered an extremely weird door design choice here. You won't have any problems with the door sticking or anything getting bent, because it's a simple hinge with no catches or stops. It's more like a flap---when you open it, it falls straight down to the counter because of gravity. We try to keep clearance in front so it lands on the handle, because you occasionally do drop it and you worry the glass will break. I consider this a minor point of complaint with the toaster, but your question makes me think they may have been trying to please consumers who had other door hinge problems. I don't like this solution, but you might. And whether or not you like this particular aspect, I'd recommend this toaster oven.

It slides under the top door frame and hangs on easily not on the door itself . And it comes off very easily just push upwards and it comes off . Note : the pro grade chin up bar will not fit every top door frame . I had this problem when I got mines . It almost didn't fit anywhere . But for more information look it up on YouTube that's where I got most my information about the product . Make sure it will fit properly on a door frame before you buy it . Good luck

The buttons do require a fairly firm push. I owned a couple of MWs before this one and they were about the same. There is no "Nag" beep. I just tried mine and after half an hour still no "Nag". I must say, the only problem I had with mine was on installation. The door is subject to alignment problems unless installation is exactly "Square"....in alignment side-to-side and front-to-back. The installation screws allow you to make the adjustments. Otherwise, the door hinge area will make a popping sound when closing. It does not interfere with the operation but is aggravating till properly aligned. Make sure the installer knows this and test the door swing before the installer leaves.

Hello - The "over the door" piece is in a "fixed" position. Thank you for your question.

I have used several different doors in the past of a similar style. I have always in the past used them as a semi-permanent solution and I believe that it is possible to do the same with this door. I have actually made this installation permanent as I have mounted the panel on the stationary side of the door. It was suggested tibdi this as an alternative solution and Iam happy iI did it that way. Just be aware that if you mount it on the siding side or the stationary side you are lossing pass thr space

It comes in five pieces.The main piece is the section with the door. Then there is the left and right side that you'll add to the door piece. You could stop there if that's big enough and these two side pieces are also by a few inches. If this is still not long enough then you can add the additional two extra sides. Those too can be adjuasted a few inches also. Then, there are some screws that screw into the gate, on both sides and the top and bottom and these screws will fit into the little bracket/screw holders you install on the wall. *You mention that your gate is only 61", I hope you rec'd all five pieces.

It is likely backwards. If the hinges on the inside of your door are on the left-hand side, the arm that is mounted to the trim should be to the right of the arm attached to the closer. Wish I could include a picture of mine.

Because it is designed that way. But it does not require a low clearance installation to work just fine. At one year, mine is working well without issues. It's installed on a standard, non-low clearance garage door.

The holes for the door hinges are pre-drilled. You would have to drill holes on the other side for the hinges

It's supposed to be held in place by a velcro tab that comes with the product but it didn't stay in place. No the installation doesn't leave holes in the door. It works but definitely is not pretty. Sorry it took so long to reply back to you.

The very top portion of the door is a panel that has a spring in it. It adjusts to the height of your door and then there are screws (provided in the installation kit) that are used to secure the height so it is stable. I have installed this type of door in a vinyl door and a metal door.

The directions should be more clear. There is a piece of paper attached to the gate that tries to describe what happens. Basically set up the gate in your space. As you tighten the screws on the side the gap will get smaller and smaller. Eventually it comes together. You have to tighten more than you would think so don't give up.

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 installation was a two-piece door that was hinged along the length of the door. In addition, the hinge was at the corner of the cabinet.The only adjustment that my installation required was a 1/8 inch relief in the mounting surface where the Blum hinge attached to the cabinet wall; which I accomplished with a Stanley SurForm file. It would be helpful if a picture of my installation could be posted.

Every installation is different. Run a test and find out. Depends on how strong you set it for, how strong the spring is on your door latch, how hard you want the door to close, etc. Common sense.

The round part fits in the hole, but the screw holes on these do not align with the old holes - you will have to drill 2 more holes. Don't know why. Other replacements I bought had the screw holds on the door side in the center of the place. These holes are offset just a tad. Other than that they fit. For new installation they should be fine-- I just don't want to be re-drilling all the time. Actually I want all these euro-hinges gone from the house, but there must be 60 of them all told. Seems like at least one or two have broken springs at any given time and make a cracking noise when opening and closing the door. I hate them... but hey, that's just me.
