Does it help prevent the door from slamming or at least slow it down before it hits the jamb??

It's a non-linear spring . You have to adjust it to find the best compromise result of both closing the door but not so strong it slams . It helps if the other hinges are properly lubricated before you adjust this . Mine closes but doesn't slam .

No, this will spring it closed. No damping. However, setting the spring light, will prevent slamming

You can adjust the tension. I have mine set to just close the door to almost closed. This way the Air conditioning stays in and my pet can still get in and out.

It isn't strong enough to provide the force necessary to "slam" the door. It's pot metal construction ensures its poor, non-energetic performance.

If the door is made of wood it should protect from scratching. This product doesn't adhere well to non-wood surfaces (it's not made for that). Also, it will probably work best if you don't try to wrap it under the door. It adheres best to a flat surface.

No, it is a door stop. (Prevents dings in the wall behind the door)Best to use a wedge under a heavy glass door like yours.

Yes, if the gap underneath the door is big enough to place the door stop under it, it will stop the door from being opened and will make a very loud sound that the neighbors can hear so you will definitely be woken up if someone tries to come in....

There are 4 pressure plates 2 for each side that screw into the door frame. does not harm the door frame. hope his answers the question

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.

It won't completely stop it from cracking if it's like ran over or smashed with a hammer, but it will help for minor drops or being stepped on. Definitely good protection for the money!!

It doesn't latch/grasp around door or other frame. You basically expand the gate just beyond size of opening and wedge it into place and the rubber end tips create friction that holds it place. Does quite a good job, but I wouldn't trust it to stop a infant/toddler falling against it with all their weight at the top of a staircase or to a opening to an outside pool area etc... We use it to keep are 80lb Labrador from going upstairs. Hope that helps...

No. I used a stopper. You can use a stick or suction cup to stop the door from sliding.

This will help prevent reflection of high frequencies but will not do much for lows or vibrations. The best thing to do would be to put a layer of something heavy like dynamat or a mat with a built in sound deadening layer. And the best place to put that would be the actual inside of the door. In other words, if it is a hollow door, take the thin sheet off of one side so you can see the inner workings of the door, and put them on the inside so that when you put the sheet back on you can't see anything you added. If you really want to use this, you could put it on the outside, facing the source of the noise. This will help prevent reflection of high frequencies but will not do much for lows or vibrations.

It should definitely be able to keep your door from moving in either direction.

typically it'll require morticing. you can probably get away without if there's a wide gap between the door and the jamb.

Probably not your first line of defense. We have it on our doors so that our small child can't get out when sleep walking, and it works perfectly for that. There have been mornings that I've forgotten it was latched and given the door a strong tug and it was fine - but if someone wanted to break in I think they could use enough force to do so.

My husband has used ours for several months now and it hasn't done any damage. If installed correctly, it shouldn't damage your door.

It will respond to the amount of tension you input. The less you tighten the hinge, the less force to close the door. However, to use this product, there are several different factors to consider, besides the product. Such as type of door, type of door jamb, and door jamb trim. My opinion is that because of stress on all of these areas, a metal door and jamb is going to work better over time than a wooden door and jamb, but is applicable to both uses.

If you can see a gap under your door (hardwood floors or very short carpet), I would expect this to help. I bought it just for sound reduction on hardwood floors, and am happy with it. It wouldn't help with people directly outside your door, but it could reduce reflected sounds that normally go under the gap between floor and door.
