Can you leave the door open by just using like a weight to hold it open? Or will that add lots of resistance and break the spring?

The amount of spring tension on the device can be adjusted.You can set it to either slam shut with the force of a thousand suns or barely react; lower the resistance if you want to occasionally jam it with something.

Yes you can put something in front of it, I use the corner of a rug and its fine. You can also adjust how spring so the door closes hard or soft. Good product.

It can be propped open but when it's open there is a lot of pressure wound up in that spring. I used mine in a warehouse so it was used hundreds of times a day and the pressure finally caused the spring to shatter the metal cylinder. Make sure the spring is set on the lightest setting. Mine was set high because of the weather in our area and led form the office.

No there isn't. It's functionality is mainly a spring action that makes the door swivel shut after opening.

It's pretty easy, as I believe the hinge mechanism is assisted with spring tension. I don't believe it's lockable, but when it's full extended, it's pretty tough to accidentally shut it.

Simply place the anchor point over the door and pull it shut. Your body weight while excercising should be pulling the door shut as opposed open. The is a small, firm rubber cylinder inserted in between the strap at the anchor point. The only thing that should be touching the door frame is the strap. Hasn't damaged the doors in my crappy apartment, so you should be good to go.

Yes. You can leave the door open however, it will close if hit. You can also close it without it catching.

You can press it down but I don't think it would be good for the springs. It is not super slow to close by itself.

I would trust it to hold the weight, but the movement (door opening and closing, etc) might cause some problems.

No. It's gravity loaded so when you shut the door it automatically latches because of gravity.

no. this product is only spring loaded and it will close the door, but it will not close it any slower. hope this helps. it is a good product.

You can leave the door off. You have to completely assemble this item. Yourself.

Sorry. Once the hinge is in place the door will not stay open. The only thing you can do is prop the door open.

If your talking about the swinging door, just pry it. It feels like your going to break it, then it just pops open

It is not spring loaded. However it uses gravity to hold the gate closed when the gate is shut.

Only if you use a door stop at the base of the door. Remember it is just spring loaded closer.

When locked it takes some force to opne. No worries it won't break just give it a good strong pull and it'll open.

the tension / spring of the closing mechanism is not so strong that the door not opened wide will automatically be closed. But that said, I don't think you could leave the door open with a 6 inch gap without some trials and adjustments

I have it set to just reach the closed position but not to overcome the door latch and lock the door. In this case it is a soft close. If you increase the tension to close the door until it latches, it will probably accelerate somewhat due to the momentum gained while it swings shut.
