Can this be mounted horizontally? Trying to monitor sliding glass door and the door frame is narrow on the side making vertical mounting difficult...

Yes. The smaller piece is just a magnet that activates a magnetic switch in the larger piece.

It should be mounted vertically! It won't work well horizontally. Sorry for the late response---we are visiting relatives in Sweden.

I don't think I would try it. Not to say it can't but the glass is so thin and the base is made to support it. I don't think it would hold up well sideways. The same fixture (almost) by same manufacture is available in a sideways "over the mirror" mount but it's a double vs single. So the metal is in the middle glass on both ends. Short answer- I wouldn't do it.

Yes. I installed mine vertically. Holds fairly tight. Just have to make sure the window is closed tight enough to hold it.

I am not sure but it has a spring loaded door so I don't see why not a horizontal position.

If the door frame is too narrow for screws it may be too narrow to mount this button. Do you have room next to the door frame instead of on the door frame? You can use double stick tape instead of screws

Yes you can install horizontally. You have to adjust wire . And make sure first you check on wall to cover the empty wall hole. Basically design for vertical wall hole.

Yes you can do a side-mount. I created a window-garden in a 32" window with glass shelves using these mounts.

We mounted this on the left side next to our toilet. I would not recommend installing it vertically. The mounting brackets are fantastic. My husband is a large man and it is VERY secure. We have bracket mounted into a stud and the right one into just drywall and it is extremely sturdy.

never tried mounting this way cant imagine why it would not work horizontally. Recommend SHURflo 94-591-01 Pump Silencing Kit. remarkable how much quieter system is.

Yes it can Carl, I've installed it on the sliding door which is the same, only difference is that one opens vertically and the other horizontally.

I don't see why not. It should be easy to mount vertically as long as it'll fit. I would say you would mount it exactly as you would if you mount it horizontally. It is pretty versatile.

Yes, it can be installed vertically up or down as well as horizontally. I installed mine pointing down just as you want to.

I haven't installed this one yet. Installed similar at prior home. Should be able to mount from either side. With the door open at a 90 degree angle, it should take no more than 1 additional inch of the remaining opening.

The provided 4 metal brackets will not fit the plastic of the short sides and I do not think that the brackets on the long sides will support the unit if oriented vertically; however, I think one could easily drill a couple of holes in the plastic and attach a wire/cable then hang it like a picture to a Molly.

I mounted mine horizontal rather than vertical like the picture. Has worked great. No issues.

Yes I am sure the gauges can be rotated. Should be no problem mounting vertical.
