300 reviews &amp; Q&amp;A and no answer - how far does this hold the face of the door off the face of the wall when the spring is FULLY COMPRESSED?

There is no spring as I recall- it is magnetic. I believe it is about 2.75 to 3.00 inches.

Are you asking about how much weight can be hung on the end of the hatch while fully opened? Not much. It easily holds the very heavy hatch up, but it doesn't require much of a tug to pull it down. On my jeep, it works perfectly. Just a little tug will bring it down.HOWEVER, the shocks themselves can hold some serious weight! I tried everything I could (pushing it against a wall, kneeling on it, trying to step on it) and I could NOT get the shock to go down.

It's about three inches from the wall, I just pushed mine back to see just so I could answer your question... lol

Hmmm.....I am pretty sure it will not help you with your door that has a tendency to slam shut.The product has a coiled spring with a bar extension coming out from it, that, as the coiled spring uncoils, the bar pushes against the door, closing it.If for whatever reason your door slams shut now, I believe that it would continue to do so, with this product attached to it.

No not at all. They just restric the door from opening all the way. I have these clips on all mine that are next to the wall and it has completely saved my walls and soft closes work like a dream

Same with us here - we did the same thing. It only raises it up 1/2" inch from where it comes out of the wall, the good thing is you don't "lose height" with this arm - the thickness of your head will determine how far you drop down. I have a huge head hanging under it - I would check that thickness too to add to your equation. Hope this helps.

I haven't installed it yet but it will go as far as you push it so if you want it to remain parallel it will or if you want it to touch the wall it will also. There's no spring mechanism.

it is designed to be wider than the door... There is a chance that you are not mounting it properly? It should hang from the chin bar and only rest against the outside of the frame/trim of (the) door... Let me know if you need advice to mount it...

It works perfectly, I swing mine around 45- because I have mine closer to the wall. But if you mount it where there is space to move it, you should be find.

The way I installed was I cut a very precise hole for the light and the spring mechanism is what holds it tight in the ceiling. I put mine in the wall and is holding tight still.Hope this helps.

The pressure on the door frame is distributed in 3 points/directions. I've noticed no damage or changes to my door frame/molding. I weight 160 lbs.

Dear MO, It measures approx. 7.25 ! the book says you need 8 inches of clearance from wall to end of shaft . the coupler is designed in 2 pcs. with heavy duty allen bolts ! the door has performed flawlessly ! hoped this helped !

Wow, tough question. The ceiling is fairly low in my bathroom and the spring inside the unit is really strong, so I really had to put in some grunt work to get it into place and I was afraid it may pop a hole in the ceiling in the process. It's about 5'9" in my shower. You could probably compress it another 4-6 inches, but again, the spring is strong, so it may take some work, or the pressure from the spring may pop your shelf right off the wall if it isn't really secure. (A plus about the spring: the unit doesn't move once you get it in place!)

Not sure what manufacturer says.My daughter says she keeps it at least a foot away from the wall.

1 3/4 inch... It mounts in the doorway and works great... The only problem, and I hadn't thought about this before I got it, is that it does press your doorframe apart a bit... So I ended up having to caulk the doorway molding with white caulk... Not too bad though considering I get to hang various times during the day .......I think that's a great overall body exercise... Good luck

Hello Norma. Thank you for your e mail. You can set it off 1 inch from the wall, up to 1 1/2 cinches, however, if you need it to be further away,we have stand off to fit behinf the rail supports that will allow more space. Let me know how far it actually needs to be from the wall in order to let you know what can be done. Best regards. Silvio Haas

No. It is simply a spring. You could install a magnetic door stop so that it stays open if you push it all the way to the wall, or you could just use a regular door stop.It's not *super* strong. If you are trying to close a heavier outside door, you need to look at a proper hydraulic door closer.
