Will this safely work underneath a closed door, or will that likely damage the wiring?

Depends on the space beneath the door. I wouldn't advise squeezing any cable beneath a tight fitting door. Even if there's no apparent damage to the rubber sheathing, damage can still occur to the wiring and shielding within.

I wouldn't try to crush it under a door. Better off drilling through the frame if possible (or gasket if applicable) and caulking around it.

If this is the flat type cord then yes the cord will fit nicely under a door. All the cords i have bought that were Not flat & were rounded-did poorly after a while from the door opening & closing.tape it down even if flat. This will help as well.

It's just not safe to mount the heater below an electrical outlet. The cord from a plugged in item could drape on to the heater or the heat rising could over heat the outlet causing an unsafe situation. When it comes to the safety of your home, I always try to think of the worst situation and what could happen. Never take that chance. Your safety is of the utmost importance.

Ours are all up under our eaves, not out in weather. The cable should be fine, but I would suggest protecting the connector part.

That wouldn't be a good idea because you will be removing a built-in protection against electrocution/short circuits and I'm sure it's against the building code. I would find another outlet to replace.

Advise checking with the manufacturer. If the door is closed, I expect it would increase risk relative to oxygen levels. Also ceiling height would be a key consideration as a substantial amount of heat surrounds the top of the unit.

I can not answer that for sure but the wiring and controls are sealed so I would personally never hesitate to use it in any situation. Hope this is helpful.

No, it's safe to use in a closed space. We use it to heat the garage when I'm working on a project.

As long as there is no water on the uncovered outlet, no problem. Just make sure you shut the box cover after you finish using the outlet. CDL

It probably will not work. I do not know the mechanics inside, but I know this is sealed and only works in the forward direction, so it is probably closed when not in operation. Someone from the manufacturer can probably answer this.

If it is making constant contact, thus allowing constant voltage on your opener from a full time closed loop instead of a momentary pulse, which it should be doing, then yes it will keep the opener in one position. It is an override for the safety sensors at the bottom of the door. If the sensors fail, the only way to close the door is to stand there and hold the button down until the door is fully closed. If this is not the first time you have had to change the button, then I would guess that you have a short in the wire, most commonly caused by a staple shorting the two wires together somewhere between the button and the opener.

I have never tried it behind closed doors but I have used it when my bedroom door was cracked open. The best usage is having a fairly open area. Good luck. I love mine and the neighbors howling dogs hate it!

Electrician can do anything including putting a wall plug under a counter so hard wiring isn't necessary. It will work however you want it to.

To the extent my knoledge no.....But I installed mine right next to the motor in the air so nothing can trip it!(Did the same thing on my dads (different motor) but it would not work with out hooking them up)It has a safety if your foot is under the door it opens back up. Thats enuf of a safety for me!Just install them 6 inches apart next to the motor easy fix

I assume you will be having the power cord pinched by the door when the closet is closed. That will not cause a problem with the on function of the switch as long as you adjust the on button of the switch to compensate for the thickness of the cord. The assembly is very simple and you should have no problem adjusting it. Give it a try; the thing works great!!!

Yes! You run the wire outside of the oven and set the device down somewhere (I leave it stuck to my fridge as it has a magnet). The oven door closes fine over the wire; no worries there.

You could just to hold the gate closed. Wouldn't be good for security purposes. Exposed power wire.

It should work, if worry about heat transfer if the bulb is to close unless it led or cfl.
