I live in Florida, and have wind bars along the inside of my garage door. Can these be installed without removing the wind bars?

Not really. You should be able to remove these wind bar/braces for the best fit. You could slice each section length wise if the bars are not removable. Then slide one piece below the bar and one above the bar. I do not recommend this. Removing and the replacing the bars/braces is much better and gives a nice professional look.

I had hoped they could but no. Although the panels are a little flexible, they are not flexible enough to slide under wind bars. I removed mine one at time starting from the top panels. Once removed, I installed panels and replaced wind bars. It definitely doubled my installation time but was well worth it for a nice clean look.

Not sure what the wind bars are. If you provide a picture, I may be able to assist.

No. Mine is outside And we r having very windy weather lately. It hasn't moved.

No they are self locking and do not damage window or need to be screwed in. I would also suggest looking at a spring tension type bar that goes across the window. These work but sometimes aren't quite as secure as I would have hoped.

I have mine installed inside but are rated for outside use but according to the instructions, you can use the tie-downs.Note:If you choose to use the Tie Downs, you will need to install something to anchor themto. Many customers have used: u-shaped hooks, s-shaped hooks, or screws. In severe wind orprolonged exposure to wind, sun shades should be rolled up to prevent damage.First, remove the End Caps from either end of the Bottom Rail. Then, slide the Tie Downs intothe channel/groove (Fig. 8). Reinstall the End Cap.Here is a link to the installation instructions: http://www.meijer.com/assets/product_files/pdf/Coolaroo_Select_Sun_Shade_Instructions.pdf I have mine installed inside but are rated for outside use but according to the instructions, you can use the tie-downs.Note:If you choose to use the Tie Downs, you will need to install something to anchor themto.

If I understand your questions... the doors are not rigid in that if you were to grab at the bottom of the door and pull away from the wall the door will move in that direction. They make a roller to place at the bottom of the door to prevent it from swinging more than perhaps 1" or we have fabricated a small metal track for the door bottom to grab on to prevent this. On an interior door it is not an issue, outside the wind can wreck if the bottom is not secured. Hope this helps.

You don't have to add the vertical bars if you don't want to. I believe they would be in the way if they were attached. Hope this helps.

We installed these a few months ago in Buffalo, NY - one on an exterior door. Haven't seen any problem.

we can have heavy winds where I live. I have had no problems with wind opening my gate. It works great after about 8 months. The only thing I need to do is make sure everything is tightened down (nuts and bolts) on a regular basis as it shares in the instructions.

Not at all.. I sometimes forget they are even there.On one side, their design is really aerodinic, while at the same time being really sturdy and practically one single piece without removable parts, so that reduces a lot the changes of moving pieces to shake with the wind.

If the wind is not blowing you can, otherwise its gonna be swept in the direction the wind is blowing. You can't even fly them under a ceiling fan running on low or over the vents of your heat pump and it interferes with them. If you want to fly one outdoors you will have to get one a little bigger, we only have the small ones right now. A friend of mine flew his outside a couple times in the summer and he ended up getting it out of a tree once, the second time he flew it outside, he had to climb on top of the house to get it because of a breeze blowing. He never mentioned the sun interfering with it at all either. If the wind is not blowing you can, otherwise its gonna be swept in the direction the wind is blowing.

No, they are not. I originally hoped that I could find one with spring-loaded louvers, but I couldn't, and I had to get the hole in my house buttoned up. I used this one and I have not had any issues with flapping sounds or other noise from the louvers in high winds (lake house, this side of house faces the wind). I would only mount this on a vertical surface so that gravity can hold the louvers shut.

If you put them under the edge of the hood they will not hurt the paint. The directions should tell you how to put them on and were to put them properly. I have them on my VW just under the edge of the hood and have not had a problem with them with the wind. Good Luck

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.

Works fine with doors off but is not weather tight with or without doors. You do need to make sure that you order the windshield bracket.

No I do not think so. We own 2. One in FL and one in IL and both places are windy & I do not have a problem. Great grill.

I bought six of them, but they are all installed indoors. They are gorgeous, absolutely silent fans. I'm sorry I couldn't answer your question regarding outdoor installation.

No, you do not get bars to wind them up. You'll need to purchase the 2 rods seperately. As a side note - this is not a job for someone who is not a seasoned home mechanic as this can be a very dangerous job. Please be careful.
