I have a hinged door with all the usual molding, can I leave that molding and simply bump out the mounting since the hinge spots may get used again?

Yes you can but keep in mind that there will be a gap that will not be very aesthetically pleasing. If you don't care about this the door is relatively easy to install.

Yep. I installed mine in a doorway that didn't have a door in it, but has the typical 1x4 or 1x6 frame all the way around it. I'll preface my answer by saying I installed a 130 year old door in a 110 year old doorframe..in the ever changing Texas landscape. We had a lot of other obstacles to overcome on our way to "level." :) I went to Lowe's and picked up some plastic spacer/washer deals for a couple bucks to use in place of the thin plastic ones they give you since I knew I'd need alot more depth. I attached the two connectors to the molding first, and then used as many spacers as needed for the other connectors on either side of doorway to make the bar level. The only unanticipated (albeit obvious now!) downside to this that the door is a much greater distance from the wall than designed. Back to my crooked door and doorway, I opted to hang the door high enough to ensure no gap on the top of the door. This means my door doesn't get close enough the ground across the entire track to use the provided "bottom door holder thing." Right now, my door kinda bangs around when you slide it because of this, but if your house is normal and you can attach the thing to the ground, the extra distance from the wall shouldn't be an issue. I, like you, was unwilling to remove the molding but I will say that it doesn't look as sleek as my inspiration doors because of it though..just my opinion.

I live in a rental apartment and I had to stop using it because of the impressions it was making on the molding around the door. I tried wrapping some padding around the contact points, but that didn't help. If I owned this place I could live with it, but since I don't want to get charged for damage when I move out I had to take it down.

No you would have to take the hings off of the one panel but I just leave one planel flat on one of the side together and it is thincker but very usable . I love my gate .

You could disable it by removing the bar that pushes on the door. However, this seems a little inconvenient if you wanted to disable it on a regular basis. The bar is threaded on one end and can be unscrewed.

With a good scuff sanding job, I don't know why not. The white molded plastic hinges could be a little tough though, If I recall correctly, the hinges are screwed into the seat/lid assembly (can't look now-boat in storage) so you may be able to pull them off. I know that Rust-Oleum makes a spray paint for plastic. You'd have to experiment to see how well it works with the hinge assemblies.

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

No, the door doesn't need to be installed, but there are pre-cut notches for the hinges that would be exposed on one side.

The door could be removed easily. It is a stock plastic door where it just has plastic hinge nubs.

Yes you can use the 2 smaller holes near the front of the hinge for mounting, works perfect.

This kit is mounted on the inside of the door, requiring newly drilled holes. You would remove your hinges, leaving any screw holes currently used by your hinges. This will work with your cabinet door, but likely leave exposed holes when you remove your hinges.

No. Two screws mount the hinge to the face frame; three screws are about 3/8" behind that plane and mount to the rear of the door panel. The door panel should have a 3/8 x 3/8 inch rabbet on at least the mounting edge (and usually the top and bottom edges) to create an overlay of the panel on the frame.

But of course you can. Just set the jig as you would for a three door. Just don't mortisse out the third hinge.

I didn't read my response before I sent it. Sorry. My friend had to replace his door and used the part on the new door. He had the old door hinge break off and the old door could not be reused. I hope this makes more since.

I did repair my door with the hinge kit. It has worked fine ever since. There are two styles of hinge kits, so make sure you get the right one. I ordered both before figuring out which one worked for my door.

The door is easily propped up. . .but I'm not sure you could tie is back without some cosmetic hole drilling in the plastic. You could probably 'break' the door completely off if you were wanting to.

Interesting question, but no. It should not make any difference. If you have bolts in yours, you pop out the bolts, lift the door off, replace hinges, put door back on and put the bolt thru. I usually do the top hinge first and then work my way down just because it's usually easier and makes more sense to me.

Hello,Thank you for your inquiry. Once the hinges are installed on the door, please take a small object such as a nail and firmly apply a hammer to the head of nail.Please let us know if you have any further questions.Best regards,Customer ServiceIntegrity WorldWide, LLC
