The hinge will swing 180 degrees but it must be mounted to the inside of the cabinet, it can't be attached to the outside of the box.

the swing is 180 degree and can only be mounted on the inside. worked great on gun cabinet.

The hinges should go inside a cabinet or box. The range of motion when so-installed allows the glass or mirror door to open more than 90 degrees. The bottom hinge is screwed down to the cabinet while the top hinge is screwed up (no joke intended). Try Google Images. They work great for me.

I ski so I understand . I don't think in matters. I use zip ties as the adhesive that comes with the mirror is worthless. May not be a good idea on a snowboard- a fall and the rod holding the mirror could damage your eye-Murphy's law.

No hard and fast rule. It's a question of aesthetics. It's a good idea to have the mirror in place if this is going at a bathroom vanity. See how the light(s) are in relation to the mirror. Then determine what is a comfortable height for them in relation to your eye level. The end result is a combination of these two factors. Good luck.

I never had a viewer in the door that I put it in, we just us a wood bit for the size of the viewer. therefore I can't really answer that question.

Dear JK,The mirrors and not sold by us for that purpose and we believe they may not be strong enough to support such a project. Having said that though, this is the first time we have been asked this question, it is up to you if you would like to experiment, it is possible it can work for you. We do not suggest or recommend this on our website. Please let us know if you have further questions.Candles 4 Less 877.766.5328

Hi ... my light is mounted on a 5' fence to reach up to 45-50' around. I think the maximum motion detection range is about 65', but the higher mounting could increase the distance for motion detection. I suggest you contact the manufacturer for their answer if you need something more precise.

This is a bad answer, but "not the number I bought". I have four unopened boxes in my garage because I could not understand what goes with what. I'm happy with the mounts but I paid WAAAY too much for not being able to answer your question. One possible answer is "none", but don't quote me.

We mounted ours on the top of the full sized exterior door and it works fine. You could even mount it on the inside of the door frame and that would also work well. Note that the motion sensors are pretty sensitive and will pick up motion as much as 20 feet away (the distance goes up the higher up the door you go).A good product, good recommendation.

I do not know how you could make it work without the clips. I think that the design of this device is specifically for use with the standard clips on metal mailboxes. I have installed three of them and they all called for using the clips to make the yellow ball work properly. I am not a good enough "handyman" to adapt it to a wooden mailbox. Bill Joe Nix

FYI, the other people who have answered are correct - you'll want to cut a board and use it to mount. It mounts very easily from that point and you will be happy with the result!

Really easy to install. If it is a new install, you should choose carefully the type of "box" you are going to mount to so that you get the snug fit to the back of the sensor fixture that you want. If it is a retrofit to an existing box, you may want to change the box out so that you get the fix you want. I am extremely happy with the host of features that you can adjust the motion sensor to operate under. The sensors are pricey, I need to buy two more, but the features/advantages IMO, are worth the cost. Good Luck

I have not yet installed this mirror because my house is still being built. But I can tell you that the builder left a hole reserved for installation inside the wall. I hope excuse me if my answer didn't help you.

Adjustable in what sense? Physically you can adjust vertically and horizontally and electrically you can adjust for sensitivity (amount of area that it detects movement in) and the amount of time the lights stay on after motion is detected. I've purchased and installed about six of these units and while initially impressed I've had one totally fail and 2 that operated erratically. I'm rethinking my use of these since they are pricey.

Sandra, the plate is sent as a "base" for the TV. It is designed so that YOU, as the end-user, attach a wooden platform to this base (that is why the holes are in this design) and you attach the TV to the wood, not the steel plate. By doing this, they are able to allow you to attach the size platform that will best accommodate your specific TV. In our case, I installed the TV into a closet in a guest room. This allows us to push the platform all the way in, and still shut the bi-fold door of the closet. It was imperative in this instance that the platform not interfere with the door closing. Because there are so many tv's out there, with so many different bases, I can't tell you how you would attach the TV to the wood base......but with ours, I drilled holes through the plastic, oval stand on the TV, and simply used a couple wood screws from the top of the plastic stand into the wood base. If you have more specific questions, I would be happy to answer. But as far as the unit itself, I am thoroughly impressed at how well it works. Rarely these days will you find a product that works as well as advertised..... This one does. It's strong, the glides are smooth, and it rotates with very little effort.

I would say to consider these pieces with caution. Depending on what angle the perimeter of your side mirrors are, you may or may not be able to adjust these pieces to give a good view. For a trailer, I would imagine I would want to attach these to the very outside of my mirrors (as opposed to the top or bottom), however the angle of my truck's mirror's body would then position the extension mirrors wide and useless. I hope I explained this ok. It's difficult to describe properly.

Well, I can answer my own question. I bought a refurbished machine from Amazon a few weeks ago. I got to the point of inserting the top lat bar, and it was way too high for my basement ceiling. I tried taking pieces off in different combinations, but still no good. I then tried to tilt it back, but that didn't work either. I took a break, and then realized that tilting it sideways might work better (because the base of the machine is longer than it is wide). I also removed the lat cross bar. This time, I was successful, but it did scrape off a chunk of one ceiling tile. I hope we don't move soon! Well, I can answer my own question.

They have a base that has holes in them for mounting, if you want to mount them, you can mount them in any position. Otherwise you can have them loose, for tabletop use. Word to the wise they are plastic, so mount them so they don't get bumped or ran into. My hardware store mounted them to a board, and put a chain on the board, so they do grow legs and walk off.
