How high off the ground will it need to be attached and how far out will it respond to movement? Door entrance

Well heck I guess you could put it anywhere really, within range of the sensor. I had it in a window for several days before putting it up and it went off every time I walked by, a distance of a good 3-4 feet or so with a ~45 degree cone. Once I put it on the shed I mounted it directly above the door, and it goes off every time I reach the doors. That height is about 7 feet.

I am not sure how high off the ground it should be attached. My light is about 3 ft above the porch deck which works for me. The literature says the sensitivity range is about 3 meters as I read it. I have done several sensitivity tests with my light and the consistent range is about 1 meter. Maybe if the light was mounted higher the sensitivity range might go up, but its 1 meter for my installation. Good luck!

I believe it up to 5 feet in any direction, you will need to put it high enough so that it gets at least 6 or more hours of sunlight...one nice thing about this product is that it has 2types of lighting, a real dim light stays on constantly and a much brighter light when you come within the perimeter , it's also super easy to mount...

I placed the Frostfire about 8-9 feet off the ground and find that it responds to movement within a 10 ft. radius. I have a porch light at the door which is about 20 feet from the motion light. It does not interfere with the motion detector.

We mounted the light about 12 feet above our front door so it could get the maximum sun exposure. I would guess that the motion activation is about 20 feet. Also note that we do like this light very much although we have only had it installed for 3 weeks. Hoping it lasts!

I mounted it 8 inches above the door of the building so that the building eave doesn't impede the sunshine for re-charging. It activates at 3-4 feet away from the door.

I have mine about 6 inches above my doors. The motion detector is quite good, 4ish feet around the door?

Yes, it will work. I did some measuring, and because the foot of the product is on the floor at a distance from the door you determine, you can have the foot about 12 inches from the door and still have the device locked under the door handle.

Our door was 30 inches. The height was not an issue. We just turned it sideways

Mine sets about a foot or a little less above the door and I have the drop fairly low. Maybe 18-24 inches but you can adjust the drop angle from just a couple inches to over 2ish feet.

The hook that goes over the door is approx two inches in depth, so there should be no problem.

In answer to your follow up comment, I suppose it would work if you attached it to the door . . . not sure.

It might be too far away from the floor. My doors were about 2 inches from the floor and it was not long/tall enough to secure the door.

My door is about 50 lbs or so. It is a 7 foot door and thicker than normal (1 5/8") so it is robust! A shorter door, same weight, might work.

Absolutely free standing. I'd send a photo if I were home. I feared it might fall forward, nut it has been up and solid for months now. Even when driving in and out, with constant door opening and closing. You need not worry about that.

The height is adjustable to accommodate your interference but you probably need it to be even with your doorway...it still may not pose a problem with your door swing. It is very easy to move. I move it around to other doors in my home.

It has adjustable feet on the front. I measured 34-1/2" to the top of the door hinge, but I have the foot raised higher on that side to accommodate an uneven floor. It could definitely be lowered to 34-1/4" or lower.

at least 7 feet from the bottom of the door, should give you about a 6 1/2 foot drop when extended. I have a 6 inch step from the bottom of the door to the deck . hope this helps you.

Definitely! You'll need to attached the bar low enough on your doorway so you don't hit your nose on the doorframe.

The door must be parrell with the floor. You controll the down travel of door with adjustment on door opener. Not sur I understand your question. If your floor is not flat and level then this item will not fix your problem.

30.5 inches from floor to top of gate. BUT, it depends on how you attach it to wall. My husband did it almost flush with floor. There is a middle knob that twists and provides support. This can be twisted to provide more middle support and can touch or not touch the floor. We keep it off the floor but still providing support on transitions because it scratches as you open it. We could just add some felt, but never did.

I use the ramp for the front door which has a 5" step (approx) going into the house. I was told that any step higher would need a longer ramp so the angle would not be too severe for someone wheeling themselves up or down.

Depends on the distance from the front door to the rest of your house. It works well on the outside gate for us.
