If I would get this ramp to use on my front door about a 5 1/2 inch rise, I have an outward swing storm door, how much interference would it cause or will it be easy to move once the person enters or exits the house, or would I be better off with the...

The height is adjustable to accommodate your interference but you probably need it to be even with your doorway...it still may not pose a problem with your door swing. It is very easy to move. I move it around to other doors in my home.

The gap you describe is a bit more than with my doors. It would work, but keep in mind if the tip of the wedge shows thru to the other side of the door, the intruder could potentially push it back and away from the door. To make the siren sound, the door just has to begin to be opened and push the contact down. So you would just need to keep the wedge from showing thru the underside of the door. You can place it on a 1/8 to 1/4 inch piece of wood to 'raise' it a bit off the floor. Keep it about 2-4 inches from the opening side of the door, so it would sound before the door gets opened too wide. The gap you describe is a bit more than with my doors.

... in so much as it is a nice ramp, yes. But they have engineered the angle of the "top lip" to lay flat based on the various degrees of incline. They also include some holes to securely pin the ramp in place, undoubtably expecting a door sil. Nothing says you can't drill 2 holes in your own van if need be. Still, a quality, cost effective solution. Measure your drop and follow their suggestions for sizing.It IS lighweight, sturdy and easy to move around. I am 5'2", 105# and I have no problem. Good luck.

i believe it would have no problem with the elements as far as the 6 steps i'm not sure, the ramp i have is 72" long. i think if i were you i would use a ruler or stick that's about 72". measure how high it is from the ground straight up to were you want the ramp to end lift one end of the stick the height you measured to have the ramp end and see how steep the angle is.if it's too steep maybe you could put the ramp on the 4th or 5th step and step up one or 2 instead of 6. hope this helps. one thing on elements i live in fl so no problem for me as far as freezing if you get to -30 or more i would as the manufacturer on that but i think you would be ok in the 30s or 20s i believe it would have no problem with the elements as far as the 6 steps i'm not sure, the ramp i have is 72" long. i think if i were you i would use a ruler or stick that's about 72". measure how high it is from the ground straight up to were you want the ramp to end lift one end of the stick the height you measured to have the ramp end and see how steep the angle is.if it's too steep maybe you could put the ramp on the 4th or 5th step and step up one or 2 instead of 6. hope this helps. one thing on elements i live in fl so no problem for me as far as freezing if you get to -30... » Read More i believe it would have no problem with the elements as far as the 6 steps i'm not sure, the ramp i have is 72" long. i think if i were you i would use a ruler or stick that's about 72". measure how high it is from the ground straight up to were you want the ramp to end lift one end of the stick the height you measured to have the ramp end and see how steep the angle is.if it's too steep maybe you could put the ramp on the 4th or 5th step and step up one or 2 instead of 6. hope this helps. one thing on elements i live in fl so no problem for me as far as freezing if you get to -30 or more i would as the manufacturer on that but i think you would be ok in the 30s or 20s « Show Less

Its somewhat easy to move. However, if you have a 1-2" lip at the edge of the garage door entrance then it'll be virtually impossible to move without some sort of ramp or jack. Its extremely heavy, but can be moved with relative ease on a flat smooth surface.

It shouldn't be a problem as long as your springs are adjusted so there is very little weight on the opener. I have a 18" door and it moves it no problem, although it takes very little effort to lift my door because the springs are adjusted properly.

This chime works great for us! We can't see mailbox from inside the house. House is built on hill, mailbox is at base of hill at street level. It was up/down 26 stairs to check the box. A good exercise but nasty during rain squalls (Pac. NW). You may have to play a bit with antenna direction, and volume control. This definitely gets top marks, I would recommend to anyone who is tired of making multiple trips to check their mail.

I'm using mine on an entry porch with just 2 steps. Even on 2 the angle is a little steep and fells as if I'll tip forward. According to the rise-to-run ratio, available on their website, I should have gotten a 6' ramp, however, due to lack of space at the bottom, I got a 5". Had I followed the directions, it would have been fine. The ramp, itself, is wonderful and lives up to my expectations.

No, I have hinges with L-pins that keep my ramp up at all times when traveling. The backward thrust and wind shear would be strong enough to make gate move back and forth if you do not have a means of securing it in upward position. So far, I am satisfied with the operation of my lift.

No, I don't think this hinge will prevent the door from slamming. It's spring just pushes the door to close, and you can adjust it so that it pushes not too hard to minimize slamming. But I guess wind would still cause it to slam - you need a different type of device to prevent that.

The handle juts past the door no farther than a "normal" doorknob. If your door's side jams are normal 4 & 9/16" you will have no problem with a storm door.

The incline might be a bit steep depending on the height of the steps. The longer the ramp however would decrease the incline.

Hi, the ramp is great, but I think the problem you will have is with your car door. It probably won't open wide enough for you to securely fit the ramp. The ramp needs to sit flush, and straight out from the car, for it to be safe. I Hope you find a way, our doggies are dear to us.

I bought one a year ago for my front door which is 6 inches from floor to top. I loved It is heavy but you can still fold it and carry it like a suitcase...great to bring on vacation.The second one I bought for the back door as I was so pleased with the first purchase and that height is more like 7 inches. I don't see where 7 3/4" would present a problem...your slope will be just a little steeper but certainly not dangerous. ( I have two children in chairs and they manipulate down these ramps and up with no issues whatsoever.) There is a 3 inch wide lip ( for lack of better word) that fits on your flat threshold. The ramp is heavy enough that I've never had is slide off. If you do a routine safety check to make sure no one has kicked it or moved it then you should be fine. Hope this helps. This was a gamble for me after researching permanent ramps ( too costly and poor house resale value) and I have been very pleased with the product.

Good Morning-Yes this ramp should work very well for you. The size that you would need will depend on how high the rise is. I would like to go over a few things with before you choose which size ramp you want to order. Please contact us at 847-680-7700 M-F 7 AM to 5 PM.Thank you so much and have a great day.Kim

Mine is installed in a 30inch woodframe doorway but the gate stretches well beyond 36inches. I used 8 inch lag screws that I purchased from Lowe's to mount it inside the door jamb behind the existing door leading to my basement. Should take much more than just kicks to knock it down. Works very well for what I bought it for. Wife is very happy with it.

It worked great for me. Setup is fairly easy but just read instructions carefully. This will work fine however he/she will see it and disable it....maybe. put it on the outside of the door so it cannot be disabled from his/her side.
