Does this product get placed inside an interior door so that it catches water coming in or is it to be placed outside the door creating a dam affect?

The instructions direct for outside use, however I also put it on the inside of my unfinished basement walkout door and the inside of the garage door. I didn't want it to roll down the driveway, and I see it before I drive somewhere. They get heavy and slimy when wet, so I probably wouldn't put them on carpet or hardwood. I imagine tile or stone would be ok.

Outside, catches the water before it comes in, expands and prevents it from entering. I don't use it around my house, so I don't know how well it does this. I use it to divert water around landscaping and it does a fine job of that

You wanna use this outside to prevent water from coming inside your house,basement or garage. It becomes like a barrier

I tried it outside, but the door apron (floor) doesn't extend far enough to work properly, so I placed the dams inside to block the water from flowing onto the shop floor. This worked well for me.

This is not for use inside the shower. It is for under the floor in the bathroom only. Do not install this where it will be basically immersed in water

It's a bad idea...there are many mechanical movements inside a car door such as the motor and track for the power window. Add to that, you don't want to trap any moisture in a car door from rain or car washes - it must be allowed to drain out the bottom of the door. Dynamat is flat and relatively thin so as to not impede movements inside the door or block moisture from escaping. It can be mounted on the inside surface of the outer door panel or just behind the inside door panel.

It's a Contact brand product. Have you contacted them? We installed it on the inside of an exterior door and have had no problems with the temperature fluctuations, condensation, etc. I don't see why it wouldn't work. Worst that happens is you end up removing it, which is simple enough.

The small amount of water slipping thru the gaps will drain out of weep holes installed on the bottom of the doors. So this should be no problem.

It is made to be mounted outside. It has a cover that covers the key pad. I've never had water infiltrate any place.

I've never gotten water in from the outside. I once had a 20 once water bottle open inside of it and empty. Not a drop went through even after house sitting inside. It was pretty impressive.

I hope this is the answer to the question you are asking..... It seems to me that it reduces the flow or volume of water that emerges from the shower head. Before installation I had a high volume with strong force.... water splashed out of the shower stall door. After install the water flow was greatly diminished. As I wrote to another person... I installed this in the guest bathroom at my summer home with two goals.... 1) to reduce the mess 2) to provide an unsatisfactory guest shower so that they leave on time and not linger for "a few more days". Both goals achieved.

Hi K., Mine has a lot of play too when the door is closed & locked. I think it is part of the design, and cannot be remediated. I believe that it is fine against a fire or theft. However, I think that there a risk a the docs getting wet in case of a flood. Have not tried this hypothesis though. I kept mine. (Did not return it.) Cheers Cam

The trim keeps the inside dry if it is installed properly with the foam gasket. I used a 60 watt equivalent LED without any problems.This trim is designed to be installed over a shower (but not subject to a direct spray)

It does trap water underneath. I use it on a pavered area, so it works for me. The product is very good quality however. Hope it helps.

No, it just rests on top. Water could get inside. Otherwise, it's excellent. This is my second in about 6 years.

Yes, mine is installed outside, but you have to make sure rainfall can't get to it. That is a mistake I made the first time I installed it. I couldn't find indoor pipes long enough to install inside so I dug a hole around where the main water comes into the house and installed it there, but I forgot about what happens in a major rain storm and the hole filled with water and ruined the device, so I bought another one and this time I put concrete blocks around the hole and made a plexiglass shield to cover the area and that has worked very well. It stays dry and I have wonderful soft water without having to lug salt bags home from home depot. Hope this was helpful.

When using it in a bathroom, keep a door open when showering. If a lot of water collects on the bathroom surfaces, that would be very bad for the heater's (any heater) longevity & could pose a potential danger to you.

Hi Christine,I have mine ceiling mounted on a back porch. As long as you have a good deal at the top (silicone beed is what I used before tightening the more mount) I don't see where water would infiltrate. Very happy with the product durability and it has a good look to it. Hope that helps,Nick

The product will install outdoors, but must be mounted so that water will not pool inside the housing.

According to the insert the trap should not get wet. So consider your situation.
