I have a double sided draft stopper made of styrofoam under my door. Would this keep it from working?

I bought two. My doors were too high and went over them. My husband added hight to them and moved the rubbery bottom to the new bottom. Now when the doors open, the alarms just slide with the door and don't go off... I'm thinking it won't work for you either... Sorry.

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.

This device is NOT to be modif led, it will alter the functionability of the design. For the less than $7 cost, in my opinion, it will be worth trying it.Cheers!

Hi Spencer. It has magnetic strips on both flaps that are a vital part of keeping drafts out. Unfortunately, they do go 'clunk'. It's certainly not a deal breaker for us, but then, it's not in my bedroom, either. The way I'd look at it is this - if putting it in stops your cat/dog from waking you up to go outside, it's worth the very brief noise. :)

yes it will keep the dogs contained, as for the measurements, look at what it says on the order and measure your doorway.

I think it would but then you wouldn't be able to close the door. It isn't something that should be put on and taken off- it needs to be very tight so as not to slip.

NO, it should not. But, I have found that if the two side panels, that are mounted to the walls, are not perfectly square, then the gate door will not fully latch. You may want to try adjusting the frame, but loosening, or tightening, the mounts. I hope this helps!

I don't know about preventing water. I have found that it works well on blocking drafts.

I don't know what to say. It would depend on what kind of door it is. If there is a door jam it has to be dragged over, it wouldn't last but if it is flat under your door, it should be fine. this is our second Winter to use ours, we're still very pleased.

Of course it will work - As long as you want to use it to "pull" the door closed. If you want to have it "pushed", that's a different product.

To stop fingers from being smashed it would work....because you're essentially putting it on backwards, using it as a "door can open but not close all the way" tool. If you want it to hold a door shut, it needs to have the jam to clip onto when it swings to the shut position. Just like the picture shows, it will actually clip to that jam, so you can't open the door without breaking the device or pulling the lever to open it.

The plunger would only have a problem if it got wet and froze while the door is closed. That could probably be prevented by using a shim on the floor and mounting the door unit so it's higher off the floor.

Depends on the enclosure. The sides where the door mounts and closes to would need to be structurally supported on teh backside of the fiberglass. THe door is heavy on the hinges, so if the fiberglass is not securely attached to a doubled 2x4 or something similar, it will more than likely pull the fiberglass out of shape and possibly tear it. It needs to attach through the finished surface into something very solid.Probably best to consult with the manufacturer or look up the install sheet/specs. Should be available online.

Keeping bugs out isn't what this tape is made for, however it could work. This tape is designed to keep drafts (air) out. In my experience, the tape works well but may not stick well if it gets wet.

Hardware stores sell kits of very thin foam that's designed to put behind outlet plates on exterior walls to block cold air from coming in. This stuff is very manageable and easy to cut into shapes, and can be used as a barrier between the gate and the wall or doorway. They may not prevent all the damage, but certainly cut back on it.

I don't think so. You just place it around the door frame, so it would just get pushed off when you push the door in

Nope. Once you let the door go, it closes. If there is a setting, we don't know about it! I am real sure there is no such setting. We use it on a closet door but I can see where you would need it. Guess you'll have to put something heavy and decorative to slide over with your foot as a door stop!

Only blocking of direct air flow will be effected it should provide some savings but not very much, this door is just a vinyl single membrane but does seal the opening.

It can depending on how thick your door is. I screwed it to the top of the door (there are predrilled holes in the holder) so I wouldn't have to worry about it.
