I had that problem with my Motorhome on the beach in terrible winds. I bought a webbed strap and attached it to the door. At least with it it would not get away from me. I attached it at the lock. I loosened the srews of the lock and slipped the strap under it and tightened it back up. I place the hemmed edge under the lock. The strap I bought at Walmart for $2.

Well I'm in Texas and we get a lot of wind. I used the anchors that screw in the ground. Same as a pet leash anchor. So far so good!!!!

I just lie a tarp over mine, if it is windy I suggest you do that and maybe use stakes or something on the corners so the tarp doesn't blow, but take your blower inside, because if it rains or is windy water/dirt can get inside your blower

I would put some old towels or blankets around the outside edges. Of course, in Maine during no-see-season, nothing will protect you. :-(

I put this on a trailer door I have no shade on my door I have a window. It sticks out about 2 21/2 inches from the door. I really like it as it shored up the door and made it feel alot stronger. Instead of using the small handle to close the door we use this. I'll but another for the next RV we have.

This is made of thin plastic. You could use it outside if it is secured well to a wall, but may be challenging if there is wind.

I'm sorry, but I really don't know. I secured mine with some thin string to a gazebo-like structure. It held throughout our horrible winter with winds sometimes up to 35-45mph. Could you possible tie it up with long string to a nearby window?

Suggest putting the room on inside out, so that the flaps roll up on the outside. That way when it rains, it will not come in to your patio room. Also, use the awning straps. It will help in the strong winds.

It just needs to be placed on a stable level surface. I place mine on top of my RV I do attach a tether (strap) so the wind won't blow it off. It's been in a few storms and still hasn't moved.

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.

How is it secured to resist wind? Guidelines? Weights? Do either come with it and if not where are they available?

Secure it upright somewhere inside the RV, or in a storage compartment if there is enough clearance. I use bungee cords to tie it in place inside one of my storage compartments.

We live in northern NM. Wind gusts often exceed 50 mph. Our vent opener is installed on a homemade cold frame in the back yard somewhat protected from the wind, but we've had absolutely no problems. Really works great for automating the opening/closing of our cold frame.

My husband installed ours and it blew down in a strong wind. He suggests you use something very sturdy, 4 solid mounting points. I wouldn't try it myself. Good luck.

I ended up returning my extra-large door because it was too big. I ended up getting a med. One with a hard plastic swinging door. It seems to close out most of the elements except when the wind blows it open.i wish there were a double door.

I had made my own with a rope around nose of boat and over the windshield with a wooden support between windshield and back of the boat with the last cover I had.So I used it.Make sure your windshield is not to tall or your cover my not fit.I had to send mine back and go to the next size up in a differnt cover because it wouldn't fit low enough over edge of windshield.
