I am using this device on storm door with full panel glass and half screen. It works very well with this door without any stress.

Not sure, the door was purchased for a Doberman weighing 100 lbs and it worked perfectly.

Neither, it is a weight. I love it because of its versatility. I can use it to hold the door open or slide it to the back of the door easily with my foot to use it to protect the walls when someone opens the door. Modern style is a bonus too.

dont know if the door will support being walked on. the metal seems thick enough.

I have a solid core 3-0 interior door on them with no issue weights around 70lb.

The door I used these on wasn't very heavy, it was 3/4" plywood, about 3' by 6', reinforced around the sides with 2"x2". They're supposed to hold a lot of weight: "And with beauty there's strength! A hinge so exceptionally constructed...so firmly anchored in a deep, full mortise...it can hold a 500-pound door" from http://homebydecor.com/index.cfm?page=manufacturers&manufacturerID;=15&gclid;=CIzDi6D6kL0CFUpnOgodMmcA1g

It's heavy but, I have lowered it out of the bed of a pickup with help from another. Liftgate is preferable.

I think that's heavier than these would support. While they are supposed to put out 150 lb of force, the point on the door that they attach is just 3 and a half inches or so from the hinge, so there isn't a lot of leverage. This might give you a better idea of capabilities of the spring - http://www.rockler.com/product.cfm?page=10807

We have designed the most robust core doorway unit available today, our weight use ranges are the highest, our steel it usually twice as thick as any other doorway fitness device, and if you watch our 60 second infomercial on our website or on our Gorilla Door Gym youtube channel, you'll see a motorcycle with rider suspended in the air rocking on it.

We have a headboard made of two old doors, and we have one bracket per door. Our doors do touch the floor for added support, but each weighs about 40lbs.

I can't think of any particular door style that it won't work favorably with. I don't remember what the actual weight limit is but as long as it's not exceeded you should have no problems.

It will sway a lot unless secured at the bottom, unless you open the door very slowly. Mine is very heavily loaded, and stable, but secured with two small screws to prevent sway.

I have no idea as to the pressure would be needed pound wise, but the opener is easy to use. My wife has R/A and she has no problems.

I used one (of three total hinges) on my metal 36: fire door and it works fine. My guess is the doors weight in about 100 lbs.

It should be fine. It's got substantial weight to it and doesn't move around when you open or close the door

Might be a little too lite for it. Without knowing the weight of the door or the amount of cycles, it would be hard to give you a definite answer. Sorry!

Not with out heavy adaptation, this one lends itself to a solid core door. Take in to consideration the thickness of the application.
