Can it be installed on the inside of a door opening outward? My internal garage door and its frame are not leveled from inside.

If your door opens outward I' am guessing the door is flush with the door frame on the outside. This is where the door sensor should mount. The door sensor has two pices using double stick tape to mount. I don't see how you could mount the sensor on the inside of the door because the door is not flush with the frame eon the inside. There is a motion sensor also that you could use on the inside that would detect any of the doors opening. Hope this helps

If you are referring to using the device on the outside portion of the door (exposed to the elements), I can say yes, of course, but will be limited to the strength of your Wifi signal and of course the unit will be exposed to weather and it was not meant to be used that way I believe. It also lends itself to being bypassed as it is exposed.

I don't know. I don't see why not.Miguel doesn't say he tried it and it did not work.There is a rod that goes all the way thru the side panel and the door and is secured by the top and bottom. I don't see why you can't invert the doors and then push the rod thru.

It could, but you would probably have to mount on the exterior, or possibly on the door jamb. It would be more difficult to position.

It can but that inhibits the door opening if you recess it to far. I have two and they are both partially recessed to allow the door to open.

not without changing the hinges......would be a lot of trouble unless you are putting up a new door !!!

No, it's made to install in a door minimum 1 1/4" thick. You would have to frame it with wood first.

Yes you can. I installed it on a regular hollow core interior door and there was a gap inbetween the to panels. It could have used the spacer that can be purchased extra. Otherwise a great product.

It is the same on both sides. So the answer would be no regarding opening past the frame. Depending how wide your door is, you are most likely going to first run into the buffered stopper before the handle would hit the frame ... and you don't really want to install this without the stopper ... it's one of the main features in my opinion. Plus, you want to be able to open the door from the inside, no?

I mounted mine inside on the pantry wall using hollow wall anchors. You could probably use the same approach on a door. If the door is solid wood--probably no problem at all.

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.

My Wife who I bought it for says no.Sideways on with the door open is the way to get the most benefit from it.Desmond Davey,30 Dec.2013

Yep. I installed mine in a doorway that didn't have a door in it, but has the typical 1x4 or 1x6 frame all the way around it. I'll preface my answer by saying I installed a 130 year old door in a 110 year old doorframe..in the ever changing Texas landscape. We had a lot of other obstacles to overcome on our way to "level." :) I went to Lowe's and picked up some plastic spacer/washer deals for a couple bucks to use in place of the thin plastic ones they give you since I knew I'd need alot more depth. I attached the two connectors to the molding first, and then used as many spacers as needed for the other connectors on either side of doorway to make the bar level. The only unanticipated (albeit obvious now!) downside to this that the door is a much greater distance from the wall than designed. Back to my crooked door and doorway, I opted to hang the door high enough to ensure no gap on the top of the door. This means my door doesn't get close enough the ground across the entire track to use the provided "bottom door holder thing." Right now, my door kinda bangs around when you slide it because of this, but if your house is normal and you can attach the thing to the ground, the extra distance from the wall shouldn't be an issue. I, like you, was unwilling to remove the molding but I will say that it doesn't look as sleek as my inspiration doors because of it though..just my opinion.

I attached mine to the bottom of the garage door. It seemed pointless to put it on the door frame! The screen goes up when the door goes up. Makes sense, no? ;)

Hello! - I was going to install it on the door frame as well but, installed it to the right of the door frame. On the siding. This is a better place for it. Also rather put screws in and not the two sided tape.

No sure, but think it can be installed either way. Our door swings in to the left. Hope this helps.

hmm i don't think it would make sense to do that. the piece comes assembled (it comes ready to mount on your wall) so you would have to remove the door and lock and figure it out. But the inside is uniform so theoretically the hinge could be fastened to the other side if you were so inclined

In looking at the installation instruction I would say no. But they do have an IDrive system from Wayne Dalton that will work with this type of door.
