I understand mounting the closer on the garage side of the door, but will it work on my door which is hinged on the right?

Yes. The door opened into the garage. Facing the door, the hinges were on the left side. When the door is opened at a 90 degree angle, it stays open without holding the door. The unit works very well. Haven't had any problems.

I am not sure if the side door opens all the way then it should be fine if not then you will need to put the ramp at an angle.

I would think if your door has one closer, not two, you should be fine. I have one of these on a wood storm door and another on an aluminum storm door, both with one closer and they work great.

I have seen dual hinged garage door openers work with top mountings, so it could work in theory as the piece that anchors to the door moves a significant distance between the mounted engine and the actual garage opening. I would be sure to check the weight however as I'm not sure if this 1/2 HP motor is enough to move hinged doors (I don't know enough and if they use spring assist to lighten the load).

It is only magnetic on the latch side and the top. The hinge side is a compression seal. A magnetic seal on the hinge side will not work as the door slides into this seal which a magnetic seal would prevent. I've found this product to be quite satisfactory, far better than the original compression seal.

My experience with this item it has be be mounted on the side with the hinge pins facing to the out. So if you are standing at the door and you can see the hinges that is where you have to mount it. I tried to mount it on the inside which I think is what you are asking and could not find a way to get it to mount and operate.

It will not work on a door that opens out. I didn't realize that when I bought mine.

If installed properly, I see no reason why this won't work. Mine is flush with the door jam when closed, which is the same as on a converging door.

It is likely backwards. If the hinges on the inside of your door are on the left-hand side, the arm that is mounted to the trim should be to the right of the arm attached to the closer. Wish I could include a picture of mine.

The bracket will eventually break. Make sure that the door is free moving when disengaged from the garage door opener. I would check and see if the bracket is bent or broken and replace it if necessary. You will have to drill new mounting holes.

I haven't installed this one yet. Installed similar at prior home. Should be able to mount from either side. With the door open at a 90 degree angle, it should take no more than 1 additional inch of the remaining opening.

I installed mine on a sliding glass door. From the outside looking in, it mounts to the center of the door and pulls close to the right. Looking from the inside out, it latches on the left.

Facing the unit, it is right hinged but the option to reverse the door is available

i am not sure. perhaps you can find that answer on google. however, most garage doors and garage door openers work the same way. Your garage door has a certain "frequency". Set that "frequency" in the garage remote, and the two are paired. I do not recommend this remote. It is too weak and only works when i stand very close to garage door. i recommend buying the $10 model instead

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

It's basically a pair of magnets. As long as you position them so they are together when the door is closed, and apart when opened, it will work.

It would depend on the size of the sections of the door. It would not work on my garage door.....it is too big.
