I know this is made to hold a door open, but will it also keep my outswing doors from swinging wide open (ie: wind) and hitting the side of my house?

it might work for a while but the constant bang might snap it after a while, a metal version might be better. its a good product for basic wear.

Don't see why not,as it will keep the door at a 90 degree anle -either inswinging ,or out

It should definitely be able to keep your door from moving in either direction.

No, it will not. I epoxied mine but it did not hold. It's purpose is to keep the new door from breaking. It appears that it solves the problem.

yes and it is easy to install work ok unless you place it in a door that the wind directly hits it all the time. I placed it in my door that faced south and i live on a hill and it blow open during really heavy hailing or windy rainy days but i still like the door and my dog love it, he can look outside without going out there and it is easy for him to push it open.

The door is very heavy with strong magnets. So it swings well and catches well. I live up in the mountains and during heavy storms you can not feel the wind coming through. Because it closes so well unless my dog is going through it doesn

I'm not sure if it will secure the outside, but I have two placed on each window, which prevents someone on the outside from being able to pull up the window. I hope this helps!!!

Gosh, that's tricky! I'm not sure but this little guy has rubber grips so on my slippery metal door casing it holds a really heavy door open! It's inexpensive enough to give it a try!

No, it covers the sides and has a strap across the bottom of the door to keep the side from flipping up.

It will definately hold open a normal house door but not sure about a commercial door. It's not featherweight like many of them are.

I'm not too sure how your door frame is set up, but the joints attach to the part of your door frame that don't have your hinges. I'm not sure, but I think it will work for an in-swinging door as long as the other side of the frame is free...Good luck

No, it just restricts the door from opening all the way. Good to stop it from hitting a wall or other cabinet doors.

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.

I would have to assume yes it would keep them out. When the damper is shut there is a positive pressure from the spring, which keeps large gusts of wind out, and stays shut when placed in a horizontal or vertical position.

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking. If you mean whether it is good for keeping the weather out, then yes because it has double flaps. It is very well made. If you mean whether you can install it in a storm door, then no; it is intended to go through walls. Hope that helps.

I use both of my wedge-its on my garage doors, which lock and open outward. The main reason I use the wedge-it is to keep the door open all-the-way, so that I can enter the garage without having to use my hands to open the door, and to keep it opened during gusts of wind that would otherwise slam my door shut. So, if you don't want the door opened all the way, the wedge-it is not for you! I would place a piece of wood inside the door frame near the hinges large enough to keep the door from closing all the way. Sounds simple, but it works. (I used a block of wood 4x1x.5 inches, and stood it up inside the door frame with the long side standing up.) Hope this works for you. And thanks for giving me the opportunity to use my noodle to figure stuff out! Don't you just love doing that?

I think you are looking for something guaranteed to hold the door all the way open. You may want to consider a device that can be locked in the up (open) position. I have seen hinged devices that do that.

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

Because of the way it is installed it is really up to you as far as the placement within the door frame. That is part of the reason I own this model. My girlfriend uses it for hanging her yoga swing so I wanted something sturdy and reliable. The twist in or wrap around kind just lack the safety.
