my door has tiered wood molding trim around the door that is two inches wide - will this be able to be installed?

I can't help you there, my door is flat, and the alarm did as it was supposed to, it alarmed.

I am not 100% sure but I would think the surface that you attach it to would need to be flat...sorry hope that helps a little.

You may have to adjust the trim, but there is a lot of options with installation. As long as you have the alarm and it's magnetic tab mated properly this should work.

No! This silly system won't work for any trim, or molding of any sort! Trust me as an electrician I am in a different home almost everyday and have never seen a front door that will work for this thing with out some kind of modification. Plus it is flimsy trash! Spend a couple hundred bucks and get something that will work! Its garbage!

Yes, it will fit, but will stick out. To be precise, it is not 2.5" wide, more like 1.75. My door is a little more than 1.5" wide.I have side sticking out on inside of garage and it works great. Since product is solid metal, it will not bend as long as where the base lands is flat. The trick will be where you screw; you will not be centered, so risk of loss of integrity. Get longer screws at slight angle. I added a few more and set to be in middle of door. Be sure to pre-drill new holes prior to installing. That should do it.

I would agree to the other answers--you will have to cut into the corner bracing of your cabinetry, but otherwise it should fit. I did not do the installation thought, just looked at it from underneath.

I don't see why not. Mine is small like that but I did get a new door also. Call the company, they are very helpful.

Chris, I have very soft, almost loose, molding. I was very afraid it would fall or break. There is a little fixture that holds it in place in the molding, but it is the way the weight goes on the front of the door jam that makes it work. It is very secure. I don't think you will have a problem.

You will need a minimum of 30 inches wide. Any width smaller and you will be scraping your door frame.

I'm definitely not an expert in the field of construction or architecture, however I installed mine in a solid wood door with little to no difficulty. I don't see why not? As long as you have the correct tools to make the appropriate cuts and measurements.

Probably not without some modification. The door has inner walls that are the standard thickness of a wooden door. And the screws are also long wood screws. At the very least, you'd have to trim the inner walls down and get some different screws... probably even go with nuts/bolts and drill straight through and bolt both sides of the frame directly together.

I just measured the depth of my doors and they can accommodate the 1 1/2" panels behind the frame on the inside of the door. Unfortunately, they won't fit on ones with less depth.

I would get slightly larger door then the opening! Over lapping 2 inches on each side ! Don't know the manufacture

33" is really wide, but the unit will fit. The real question is the thickness of the door across the moulding. Mine is 7", and the unit fits fine.

Yes. This would work well for that purpose assuming the front or back surface of the door is flush with the door trim.

Unless they changed the product since I bought it, the aluminum is definitely NOT 2.8" wide. It should fit fine on your door--the screws locate along the center of the track, not on the edges, so attaching won't be a problem.

It should because you have to cut the tracks with a hack saw to fit your door width. As long as you cut the tracks to fit your door you shouldn't have a problem. We've loved this door.

If the entire door is 1/2" thick then no, if you are talking about a hollow door with 1/2" thick walls then yes.

somewhere I saw that the max. door thickness was 2" but I believe that you could still install it in a 2and a quarter in. door however the drop box handle would be recessed slightly in the door. The outer frame should cover any cut edges.

I didn't have a problem because my door frame was slightly inset from the wall. The molding fit fine upon reinstall.
