How deep is the opening on the over-the-door piece? I have older, thicker doors.

Our doors are 1 5/16" thick, and there is probably a 1/16" gap left. If your doors are biggerr than that, then you may have to look for an alternative.

I used some old salvaged doors, so I had plenty of depth. The thickness of the door depends on how much room you have in order to close it and clear any door frame or shelves inside the space. Also, even though it comes with screws and everything you need to install, you will still need at least an inch so you can securely attach the plastic rails. Hope this helps.

Door on the unit I received was attached. If this was purchased new from a dealer, they have some explaining (or exchanging) to do. If the door is that much short, is it large enough to even cover the compartment opening?

There is a 'fixed' insert that takes the opening (door width) down to 1 3/4 inches. I used two 'ice cream sticks' as shims to make up the difference and they work great.

I have mine over a door that is almost 1 and a half inches thick. Without any room to spear. The door is a little thinner than 1 and a half inches. I hope this helps.

I have not been able to use this bar, since it does not fit my doorways. An older home has thicker walls, wider door jams/trim.

It's 1/8" thick. My door will not close with it up there but I don't really care. It doesn't lay flat.

It may be best to check the thickness of your door, 1/4" seems to be a very very thin door.

My door is 1-1/2" and the bends of the hook fit perfect. I don't think you would want to go any thicker because of weight distribution even if you did try to re-bend. Just my opinion. Hope that helps ... if I understood question.

Well, there's a loose metal piece that fits on two grooves that serves the purpose of making a better fit on my door, which is only about an inch thick. I measured the over-the-door portion without the loose metal piece, and it's just over 1 3/4", so I would say yes, if you can finagle that piece off. Seems simple enough to do, IMHO.

Hi,actually I was not able to fit it into my door. There was a different strip installed before. So I ended up with just buying the old type strip.

Depends where you measure. Varies between 19-20 inches. The hinges stick out a little, the bulk of the opening is 20 in.

thickness is no problem - 8' is too big a span - I think it only goes about 7'. My door is 6'7" and it was about maxed. Maybe they make longer elastics etc for the extra length but the regular unit doesn't span 8'.

If you are asking about the part that goes over the door itself, it measures 15 1/2" from outside edge of one bracket to the other outside edge.

My opening is also 15". You will need to center the unit with 1/2" clearance on each side and measure the depth so that there's a little space so your door will close properly.

Yes. My door has the same thickness. Do not over tighten it by screwing it in with too much force. if you do you will crack the mirror inside and it will then be useless as my first became. I purchased another as this was my error. other than that my and I are very happy with this product..good luck!

The door on ours is on the long side! Not the shorter width! Hope it helps?
