Would this work on a swinging door?

I'm not sure--it might work on a swinging door but it would have to have a lip (like the inner strip of a door frame, as seen in the picture) to catch on. If you have that, then it would probably work.

Yes, it would. It has stoppers for both sides of the door, and can be opened from either side.

This lock works by catching on to part of the door frame. If there is no frame, there's nothing for it to hold on to.

To stop fingers from being smashed it would work....because you're essentially putting it on backwards, using it as a "door can open but not close all the way" tool. If you want it to hold a door shut, it needs to have the jam to clip onto when it swings to the shut position. Just like the picture shows, it will actually clip to that jam, so you can't open the door without breaking the device or pulling the lever to open it.

As long as there is a door frame to it that the hook could latch on to, I would think so, as long as the hook piece cam grab onto the frame. I image that center jut-out running down the frame as in the product photo wouldn't be on a swinging door frame, but if it has a frame at all, you should be able to "grab" that with the hook.

Does your door slide or swing open? if it swings, i think it will be fine. It will probably be a little big...it won't fit tightly to the door, but that probably won't matter since the door isn't within a frame. I use mine over the side of the shower.

Yes, it works whichever way the door swings. The lock attaches to the door and can be installed in whichever direction it is needed.

I dont see why not it fits most doors. As long as the strip of framing its supposed to catch on is flat I would think it would work just fine.

I suppose it could, with the existing hardware, but unless the door is solid wood, I don't think it would be very sturdy. It doesn't have an over-the-door option.

You'd have to play with it to get it adjusted properly for that application. Perhaps you could aim it at the top of the door so people walking around went under the beam. The beam isn't particularly narrow but the edges are fairly sharp so it's possible (I think).

I guess it depends on what your door is made of, and how thick it is. But I think you could safely install this on a standard wooden door.

no,not at all. It'll stop a door from swinging closed in a wind or for a door installed unlevel that tends to swing on its own.

It would work for not to much curved door.The material is not too soft a little bit so you can curve.

That would depend on the door. The narrow edge should be able to be wedged into the crack of any door I've seen, but unless the metal is just a thin skin on a light frame, it probably does not have the length to give you enough leverage.

Probably, if it is not real flat the doors may not match up real good but the unit is so flexible that it will work anyway. Sometimes the slide roof is hard to push.

I think if your window swings open, you would need to do some modifications for this to work. If you had a sliding window, no problem.

Mark, probably not. It may get the door to the frame but most likely won't get the door to latch. I would say it would depend on the ease of movement in the door. It works great on internal hollow core doors.

Not likely, this actuator has a travel of about 16 inches or so. It will open a swinging gate about 110 degrees

Not much. If you have a threshold or a carpet I don't think it will work. My door was too high due to the threshold so it wouldn't work.

If supported either on the bottom or screwed in from the sides, I'd think so - it's not that heavy on it's own, but full would be. Just leave room for the door to swing open fully. Hope that helps.

It's a swing door and opens both ways. Don't think it would make a very safe ladder
