Can this unit be used on in swinging doors?

Door must be out-swing or in-swing. It could not be both. For in-swing you'll need to add a Z/L bracket.

Yes it will work on an out-swinging door. Loop the cord around the door knob and slide the trigger between the door and the jamb, or place the alarm on the floor and the trigger between the bottom of the door and the floor.

No. Only out. But it probably depends on the size of the gap between the door and the stationary upright panel.

Yes it can...and it can swing open from either end..very versatile...Trisha

The door would be able to swing in or out but the rail would prevent it from side to side swinging. I purchased a roller guide for the floor to keep the door in place as it is opened or closed. It is designed to open like sliding closet doors except there is only one panel instead of 2 or 3. Hope that helps.

If you can swing without too much resistance, it probably can. The way it is designed, you can wind it up for more tension. It was probably meant for lighter doors but if the door can swing without too much effort or resistance, this probably would work.

No. You would have to install the door without a seal to get it to swing both ways. To my knowledge, shower doors always open out. The door can be installed for left or right operation and could be installed to open in, if that's what you wanted to do. But, it you wanted it to swing in and out, you might have trouble getting it to keep the water from leaking through the space between the door and the opening where you install the door.

My unit is set up in a corner position: I only require 90 degrees of door-opening: the hinges in this unit are complex and you should be able to set how the door swings by adjusting the cross-head screws in the hinge or hinge-mount. The top & bottom hinges should be adjusted in concert, ie. they both need to be exactly the same for the door to hang and swing right: check to see that one hinge isn't at a different angle or adjustment to the other.

The door does swing open 180 degrees. As for changing which way it opens... if you are skilled with tools and are very careful you might be able to take the hinges off and switch it around, but i wouldnt recommend it

It should. It's has an adjustable width on the mounts so it can handle a variety of beam thicknesses. Just make sure to center it up when you install it. You will need to drill your own hole and get your own bolts to secure them to the swing beam.

This unit is set up to use on a swinging gate, I don't think there would be any way to use it on a sliding gate as the throw on the arm would be way to short to open anything more than about a 3 foot gate.

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.

Yes, it works whichever way the door swings. The lock attaches to the door and can be installed in whichever direction it is needed.

I think if your window swings open, you would need to do some modifications for this to work. If you had a sliding window, no problem.

Yes, so long as you use it as an inswing door. I used the set up for an out swing. Hard to hide the seam.

There is an optional little plastic stop that goes on the top and bottom. This is designed to limit the direction but if you don't put it in, it can swing freely in both directions. The only thing you'd have to be aware of is additional door trim that might get in the way.

I really don't think so. It's definitely designed to stop a door from swinging. There are much better products designed specifically for patio doors. My opinion.
