The door to my balcony opens outward, so the part on the door jamb will be at a 90-degree angle from the part on the door. Problem?

I'm not sure what you mean. The small part is a magnet. When the magnet is within about 1/4 inch of a line molded into the large part, the sensor will indicate "closed" to the z-wave system. I don't know why the direction the door opens would change the alignment shown in the photos for the product description. The direction the magnet moves relative to the sensor doesn't matter. It's the distance between them that switches the sensor between open and closed.

While I usually mount these on the inside of a door (well, on the side that it opens towards) but I have also mounted it in the situation I think you are asking about. I have also used magnets from other sensors, like the ones from a house alarm unit, and it has worked just fine. So if you have limited space you should have success by using most other small magnet pieces designed for sensors like this. Remember that the sensor portion of this set can be mounted horizontally (turned 90° from the sample picture).

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 door does swing open 180 degrees. As for changing which way it opens... if you are skilled with tools and are very careful you might be able to take the hinges off and switch it around, but i wouldnt recommend it

The brackets are set at a 90 degree angle. I would not suggest it for round railings.

You should not have an issue as long as the length between the walls does not exceed the length of the gate itself. You can bend the gate at 90 degrees where the side panels meet the inner walk through gate. This is three panels that have fully rotational pieces where each of them meet eachother. So basically, it can be a 90 degree bend with two panels on one side and one on the other side. Hopefully this makes sense...good luck!

Bending into a 90 degree angle is not the appropriate fix. Another comment by Nick Thomas is more correct. There should be an alternative mounting plate that came with the mount. You simply re-configure the base of the 18" flex gooseneck so that it has the vertical compatible bracket on it. If you're missing this item, email feedback@arkon.com and they'll help you out.

Pretty close. I only had to do about 35 degrees. there is a slot that you have to point in the direction of the bend, so if you don't drill the holes in the right rotation you'll find out afterward that you have the slot facing the wrong direction.

No, not the way the doors are positioned. They are on a 90 degree angle, not opposite one another. The posted picture is true to the product.

You are correct. But they function well in either case and I don't find this objectionable, particularly when the doors are not within sight of each other. A round knob or a lever handle that was straight and at a 90 degree angle to the door edge would be the only way to avoid this. Many passage sets for interior doors and locksets for exterior doors have lever handles that curve and point up or point down depending on whether they are installed on a right-hand door or a left-hand door.

Mine was not askew. I don't believe that to be "normal". The rear door, unlike the rest of the mailbox, is very lightweight and could get off center very easily. If it will not operate properly, and not easily fixed, I would return it.

Make sure you are measuring the door opening and not door itself. The unit should not be altered.

Put it all the way up on your door. I guest you need to adjust it to make it fix. Take me a few times to get it right.&#128522;

I had the same problem, glad I found this post, I had it upside down and the door open....Dah!

I'm not sure. The doors open just past 90 degrees. We have a wood cabinet on one side that prevents that one from being opened all the way, and it hasn't been a problem. Hope that helps!

Yes, it will open slightly past 90 degrees due to the location of installation. It does make contact with our larger mirror if the cabinet door is opened past the 90 degree mark.

Based on my experience with this gate I don't think it would work well at an angle

Good day, Although ours is surface mounted, its dimensions allow for recessed installation. According to one previous responder the cabinet should not be fully recessed to allow the door to open at 180 degrees.
