Would this device be a good decision if I only want to be able to open the door from my office to let a maid in?

Yes, part of the reason we got ours is to let contractors in our house during a remodel. It has worked well. Much better than giving them a code to the garage door keypad.

I never tried it from a distance. If you make any changes on your router you have to resync the system with your phone. I would get a digital key that opens the garage for your maid.

Yes it would work just fine for this. It will also send you an alert when she leaves, if she uses the same door to leave.
1059241
Yes. You can open and close the door from anywhere. Also I'm getting prompt alerts whenever door is open or closed.

Yes you can set it to send a push or email notification to your smart phone when the door is opened

Yes. Be sure the sensor contacts separate when the door opens. The alarm will work any time the sensors looses contact.

it would be a squeeze- possibly not wide enough... also when door is installed, not much room to walk through opening as a human!

I'm using it at work at the moment -if you have your own office and can close the door, it's fine (or even if you can't close the door, probably fine). If in a cubicle setting, your immediate neighbors will likely hear it and want to know what cool new gadget you have. But it's not a bothersome sound - just a low rumbling.

Yes! We have a small Residential Assisted Living. With six residents in a 4,000 sq ft home, this "doorbell" has been the perfect solution to our need for a simple call-bell system. So many of the "official systems" out there are bloated and don't work well. The reasons I went with this is because Honeywell is a trusted manufacturer of electronics. They are reliable and I know that at 3am one of our residents won't be stranded with a dud call button. Great system!

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

Yes, even if your door does not have a lock it will do the job. Only way to open a door with this lock on it is to either break the door or from the inside!

It isn't the quietest device but I'd think you'd be fine if the door was closed. You could consider a low playing radio in the background to mask it more.

It allows a pet "entry only," an "exit only," "locked" both ways or "open" both ways.

If the door opening unit is operated on a frequency that can be changed through setting dip switches that match the Multicode unit then yes, it's worth a try. The multicode shown is relatively inexpensive.

Yes. Your chamberlain door opener may be myw ready. You need this device to use it.

There is one that would make an appropriate cubicle doorbell. The other sounds would make FUN doorbells!

Yes. If they have the code, they can open the door unless you have another lock on the inside.

The gate is pretty easy to use and I suspect it will work fine in a doorway that is not exactly, completely square...depending, of course, on how un-square the door in question really is.

I would say yes ... I tried using a normal door, but the door kept on opening ... I use an external door and that is fine.

Yes, I suppose it would "work". I would caution against this unless you want everyone in the office to throw something at you. It is quite loud (as loud as a normal doorbell) and there is no volume control. They make units that are wireless (sold on Amazon.com) that have volume controls but the receiver is battery powered as well as a remote. I can't recommend this for in a small populated area like an office cubical cluster.
