It can be placed on either side. It is an awesome opener! I bought a second one for my third car door.

I have it mounted on the left hand side. The motor has clamps on either side so you can choose whichever works best for you.

Yes! Mine is installed on a wall in my garage. Depending on where I am working, I just grab it and swing it left or right. Just make sure you attach the mount to a stud!

The door swings both ways. You can also install it so the hinges are on either side simply by turning it around in the mounting brackets.

Can the door be hinged to open on either side? If not, does it open to the right or left.

Once the door is hung it only swings one direction. There are small, long rubber "gaskets" that give a water tight seal that prevent the door from swinging inward. It is also against most building/fire codes to have a door swing inward for safety reasons. The door may be hung so that it will open on your desired side(left or right). This is a great door and we have been very pleased.

Order the regular one. It mounts so that the opening will work fine on the right. That's the way we have ours on our French doors. We use the right door also.

It is not drilled to open from right to left, as I needed - so I had to drill the opposite side, chisel off the block that holds the magnet and remount it on the opposite side - IF the manufacturer used some sense they would predrill both sides (since you don't see those parts when it is closed) - then they could make the block that holds the magnet screw mounted - it could be made as left or right opening, but currently is made opening from left to right only!

No, it does not hold the door open, you must use a doorstop or hook and eye to hold it open. It is a very adjustable unit that can slam the door shut or ease it closed depending on how you adjust it. The unit can be mounted for left, right, on door, or on jamb mounting.

You guys are really missing something simple. The garage door opener knows where it is because it has an encoder inside the unit that counts how many times it rotates past an electronic eye. It know the direction it is moving as well. So when you close it, it starts at 0 rotations and when you open it, it knows it takes 700 (pick a number) rotations to reach full open. Rinse and repeat. You guys crack me up with having to install it while the door is closed. These can be adjusted slightly (probably a foot either way) with the side knobs but not infinitely. How did you think the garage door opener knew when to stop when it was open, or when to stop before slamming into the ground? You guys are really missing something simple.

That's correct. Only the way for the door to open is with the sensor on the collar. And we've even found, for whatever reason, it actually has to be *on* the dog to work. When we just dangle the collar by the door it doesn't work. We feel it's very secure.

I just went and opened mine and the holes that were drilled to attach the hinges for the door only occur on the one side -- so I am thinking it only opens one way

As far as I know, it only comes one way. If you don't mind the numbers being upside down, just mount it the other way with the hinge on the left.

yes, the opener operates either way the gate swings. The pushrod assembly is either fully extended with the gate closed, or it's fully retracted with the gate closed, depending upon which way the gate swings.

Well, it must be able to accomodate the deadbolt being on the left or right side of the door, so it should be able to be mounted backwards regardless of the side your deadbolt is on. However you could simply unlock your door from the outside, so not sure that would accomplish what you are looking for. Love the product!

You have a couple of choices. There is a side mount or you can make a simple hole with a drill (just enough to allow a screw to pass). And that's it! Simple. It works great and it looks good. Had it for 6 months and still love it.

you can configure the opener anyway you want. Open in or open out either way works. The instructions in the box explain how.

Not sure what you mean by "left handed door"... from inside the house, the handle is on the right side of the door. the hinges on the left side. you would most often use your left hand to open. and it swings to the left. Hope it helps.
