My closet has sliding doors, with an electrical outlet a few inches outside the closet. Will a crack in the door interfere with the on-function?

I assume you will be having the power cord pinched by the door when the closet is closed. That will not cause a problem with the on function of the switch as long as you adjust the on button of the switch to compensate for the thickness of the cord. The assembly is very simple and you should have no problem adjusting it. Give it a try; the thing works great!!!

Hi, the light button is just like a refrigerator light, when you close the door it pushes and holds the button in, when you open the door the button is released and the light comes on. So as long as the door is able to hold the button in while being cracked open it will work. I used mine in a cabinet door and a closed door and works great

I really love this thing, you mean so the end of the door hits the plunger? There is some play in the mounting fixture and the plunger extends a bit so I think if the door was open just the width of the wire it should work. Before you mount just double check how far the plunger has to travel to shut the light.

It will only work on a hinged door closet and must have a very tight clearance in order to hit the off button.

You should be able to make it work with sliding doors and run the wire through a 1/8" or so crack, but I would probably install another outlet inside the closet to plug it in for a cleaner look. you can add a new outlet a few inches from the exiting outlet and wire the new outlet into the existing outlet.

I don't know but in my opinion I can't see it being a problem try it. please make the bulb doesn't touch anything flammable.good luck it's great

It won't crack, but the plug holding the light and the batteries in will pop out. And it's pretty much impossible to get back in.

Put the outlet in the adjoining cabinet to reduce the risk of short out and possibly a fire.

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

Yes. The two mount brackets are small and centered at mid-point of door jam. They won't interfere with the doors function. Great exercise tool.

We used it for a closet light that we wanted to come on when the door is opened. It has a built in low voltage transformer so you can install low voltage cable to the door frame and install a magnetic relay/switch

NO.Requires electric power. Door can be operated manually during power outage.

The on/off switch is a foot from the plug. The plug is about an inch wide and 1 and half inches deep. I have never used a recessed outlet so cannot answer that question, sorry. My plug was put on backwards so the cord has to be twisted to plug it in. :-( It does put a nice light on the painting, but bulbs do not see to last long.

Yes. Make sure you have all power removed (breaker open) if you don't have certified electrical safety gloves when removing the cover.

if you needed to from me it will be about aweek. i am in hosipal 100 miles from home and will not be very flexable when i do get there. but off the top of my head i would say top to bottom there is room it is door to the outlet that the handle might give you problems you do have to remove plate to wire outlet it maybe possible to put outlet lower with stand offs

I don't see why not. Once the device is lay down, right next to the edge and next to the door and you turn on the switch, the moment that any part of the door touches the metal slider........the alarm goes off! And it's not a toy, the sound is loud. I hope this helps.

Not sure. I guess the tension rod could go between the door jamb where the slide opening is and the top of the door of the non-sliding part. Or, you could try using some alternate method (Velcro or little tack-nails?) to mount it to the outside jamb.

i just tried it through a closed door...it doesn't work. i always keep the door cracked though, and i'm able to get it to work through the crack in the door.

It could - any motion it'll go off. It depends on how far the plug in unit is from the unit u put outside.

Yes. It does flex so it would depend on how delicate the wiring is whether you would damage whats inside.

Probably, I keep mine near the floor inside my closet and it turns on every time I roll open the doors. That's what I wanted though.

By sliding closet door which kind do you mean. If it's like the one my Mom has that doesn't recede (slide into) a wall (there are some that do), then YES, if it's the kind that's like an accordion. But it isn't flat enough to fit into walls like the ones that recede.
