my door opens to the inside ,can this be put outside to cover the gap ?

Yes...we used it on three exterior doors, which open inward. Just choose the color carefully, as it is slightly visible from the outside (but not from the inside).

I suppose you could, but you would probably need to put a piece of wood in there and then put the door into that. It would take some extra work, but you may be able to make it work.

yes that will work... it comes with a piece of material to fill the gap between the interior/exterior sections if the door is too thick. realistically, if you can fabricate a spacer of appropriate width, there is no limit to the thickness of whatever install you have. It is entirely possible to install it through a wall, cinderblock fence, etc.

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.

In theory, yes, but I don't know how well the plastic will hold up if the sun beats on it or if it gets extremely cold. There is a 3M product that I referenced in my review that I used for the outside of the door.

The manufacturer is Strongar. You can get any size door that adequately covers the opening. I suggest that the door actually is larger than the doorway by about an inch on each side to avoid a large gap since the door needs to hang about 1/2 in off the wall. We got our door at Home Depot but you can use any door you want.

the gap we had was about 1/4 inch top and side of door. It works well....no drafts

It's not the best for front doors because, in order for it to work properly, there has to be that slight gap (maybe 1-2 inches), so the door is actually open. If you are't worried about bugs and don't mind a draft, then go right ahead. :-)

If I recall correctly, no, there is no sealant around the door. However, most of the A/C will likely be lost out of the flap itself rather than any sealing issues. Technically, you could put some inexpensive weatherstripping between each plastic half and the door panels in which you are installing it. It works for us in use in the uninsulated door between the main level of the conditioned house and the basement. I assume that you aren't considering using this door in an exterior door. I would choose something more robust and insulated for an exterior door. However, for its intended purpose and price, this is a really nice door and I have had a couple of different brands.

Not without modifying the door. The insulation is made to fit inside of the metal door.

No instead use plywood to sandwich the door both sides like that you increased to a decent thickness

There can be gaps between the blocker and the opening, but if you pull it tight and position it between the screen and the wall, it will keep the draft out and warm air in. I like this product and it has made a significant difference in keeping our room feel warmer when the fireplace is not in use..

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.

It doesn't go in front or behind. The door sits on it making a waterproof seal

the tension / spring of the closing mechanism is not so strong that the door not opened wide will automatically be closed. But that said, I don't think you could leave the door open with a 6 inch gap without some trials and adjustments

i would try and move the alum frame down to cover the opening then screw in place it can not be seen from the out side any way so it does not have to be even all the way across as long as it seals the gap.

Yes. Leave the door in a closed position and screw the strip to the sill so it just contacts the door all of the way around the door (except the bottom) and you will have an effective seal
