When this handle is installed on the outside of a walk in freezer, can you open the door from the inside should it close behind you?

No, but it is shouldn't close that easily. At least with may cooler I have to push on it to close, but if someone closes it, it can't be opened from the inside that easily. Also this handle isn't that big and probable shouldnt be used for a walk-in freezer. All-in-all i realy like the handle and it has been working and looking great for my mini-bar fridge

Nope, this is mounted to the outside surface. There is no mechanism to be installed inside the freezer to open the latch.

Hi Paul, this handle is made to install on the outside. No way you can open the door from inside if the door is locked. This handle is not solid. The handle broke after 3 months of use.

No. It is simply a spring. You could install a magnetic door stop so that it stays open if you push it all the way to the wall, or you could just use a regular door stop.It's not *super* strong. If you are trying to close a heavier outside door, you need to look at a proper hydraulic door closer.

Yes, this unit will install behind the closed door. I just drilled a hole in a convenient place to get a finger in to pull it out.

It is the same on both sides. So the answer would be no regarding opening past the frame. Depending how wide your door is, you are most likely going to first run into the buffered stopper before the handle would hit the frame ... and you don't really want to install this without the stopper ... it's one of the main features in my opinion. Plus, you want to be able to open the door from the inside, no?

Taking the handle on and off to store would definitely be a pain. However this is the best piece of workout equipment I have ever owned. I highly recommend it.

Jan, the only way the lock be left in an "open" position, if you want to call it that, is to tape the latch from coming out of the door. Perhaps you should use a deadbolt system to lock overnight and replace the LockState lock with a regular door handle.

Yes the door can still be opened from the outside if the door knob cover is covering the knob inside the room.

No. The handle is built into the lid so this leaves and opening on one end.

Hi Tammy! On the inside of the door, you have to pull the gasket to one side to expose the holes for the handle screws. Hope this helps!

Probably could, but I would not. The handles are a friction snap in and the door would need to be closed (solid rather than moving) in order to put the handle in place or remove it.

Yes. There should be a screw in the refrigerator door. The bottom part of handle slides up on that. Then screw in the top of handle.

The lock fits at the top of the door and should not be impacted by the handle unless the metal grip you mentioned is mounted at the top of the door

I have never had a problem closing the door once the unit is hung - however you can't have it too far towards the hinge, or then it won't close. Keep the unit in the middle or towards the opening of the door and you shouldn't experience any problems.

good question .... never tried to remove it...... hold on ...... door closed ..... remove it from the bottom side ..... door closed

Hi Carol, Yes the door opens from the Left side to the Right side in the front. There is no visible handle like on an average refrigerator, it is a hidden handle at the top on the left side. It is indented so you can pull it out. Also, with no handle sticking out...then no one can walk into the handle or get their clothes caught on it. The Danby has a nice top that is strong and can be used as a shelf if needed. It cleans easily too! The Danby DUF408WE is a wonderful freezer and it is Totally Silent when running! When you open the door it has a suction effect and the motor makes a low hum. After you close the door, you can feel and see the door suction inward as it makes it air tight. The Danby is really the best freezer I have ever owned. The Danby is one of the best decisions I ever made! (Hmmm...of course the Best decision I ever made was when I met my wife and we both knew we were Soul Mates for life!) If you choose this model freezer you will not be disappointed. Hope this review helps you? Best regards ~ Marc

Off the top of my head I would say no. It has a lock installed on the left side of the door which could not be moved. It also has the digital temperature control and warning signal installed in the door just above the handle on the left side. Due to both of these issues I would say it must open on the left side. I also just looked through the manual and there are no instructions for making it a right opening freezer. I wonder if you might be able to special order it that way?

If you're standing on the outside of the door (going to open it to go in), the handle is on the right.
