How close can you cut to a wall or door?

Pretty close, there is not much of the saw on that side, they show it in some pictures on the website cutting pretty close. http://www.tracksaw.com/tracksaw/models/ts55req-tracksaw/

A hacksaw works well. Use KY or silicone spray to lube as you push it on door after cutting Good product!

I keep it about 10 inches away from the wall but it could go as close as 6 inches.

Not far. I would say when about 10-15 feet away in the same room, 5-6 feet in separate rooms divided with a wall.

Well the door can be cut but not sure about to only 30 inches. I cut the bottom of all my doors down to 77 inches as all my doors and closets are shorter than 80 inches. I had to use a really good jigsaw with a good jigsaw blade in order to make a nice cut but was able to do it will the door was still folded up like when you receive it. That being said it can be cut using the right tools. Now your problem is you want to cut it down to only 30 inches. The door has a handle you add when done and the top of it starts at 29 inches down from the top. The handle is 6 inches long so it goes down to 35 inches on the door. When you cut it to 30 the door handle will have to be moved up so the holes will have to be re-drilled. The other problem is the magnetic latch to keep the door closed is at 31 inches from the top. It is 2 inches in length so it goes down to 33 inches on the door. That part can not be relocated as it is part of the manufactured door. So you are going to lose the magnetic lock part. That said it can be cut but you have to do it will the right tools. You will also need to relocated the door handle up to the middle of the 30 inches which I do not see as a problem but something you need to do if you want the handle to open and close it. The major lose will be the magnetic lock that holds it from opening. You will need to figure out some other way to latch it if you want it to stay closed of just let it rest against whatever you pull it towards. So since I cut all of the doors and they came out good I do not see a problem making the cut at 30 inches other than the two issues I stated. All in all the section you have left is going to be no good as the door hangs from the top down and all the anchors to hold the door are at the top and it is manufactured into the product. Hope this helps.

If the door opens into a corner it will open all the way if the required distance between the door and the return wall is there. If the door opens on a flat wall, it will probably not open all the way.

You could cut the wire that holds the door on but that would be the only way. It is really a nice product.

I couldn't get it to work on a simple two doors. When there are walls between the doors and receivers the workable distance is cut down severely! There can only be 1 wall between the buttons and the receiver and even then the distance is restricted to about 50 feet. I had to return this unit.

You can't, you need to find a door made for the thickness of the door you have.

as tall as you want......I think they measure the cuts so it is about 6' 6" at the edge and 9' at the peak, but you can make the vertical cuts proportionally as long or short as you want. Adjust the door accordingly.

I had a metal door that this worked good as new. As for the distance it's about a half an inch

Yes but I would have liked it to be an inch closer to wall. Not too bad, about 2".

Yes. Start with the center panels and work your way outwards, then you can run a utility knife along the ceiling and wall where the outside edge of the panels are too long. If you have a new blade you will get a beautiful edge.

You can cut them to whatever height you want...I think they shipped at 96" and I cut them to 84" for my back screen door. My rear door was right around 6 feet and I could go larger. Just make sure to use a sharp razor because if they splinter the material just keeps fraying. Hope this helps!

I suppose you could... The blade is a bit narrower that most other blades but it will certainly give a close cut :)

Yes it can easily be cut. I cut mine using a hand saw. I taped the doors tightly marked and cut.

If the person cutting has a straight edge, a utility knife with a sharp blade and an IQ over 120; it should be easy. Measure twice, cut once. You're only cutting the 19.5" side, the 23 8/16" is close enough.
