Install went very easy, but it takes quite a bit of force to open the door. is it possible to adjust this?

The only adjustment is in the arm. The more preload on the arm the harder it will be to open. The adjustments on the hydraulic assembly are for closing and latching only.

After install it's easy to adjust if you have a very short hex key, this particular model served well for appx 4 years until last week, it started leaking oil and slammed door shut. Found $55 replacement at Home Depot.

Just slide the door on the back. It can be a little hard to slide. Put your thumb on the little door and push down word. Good luck, some of those are hard to open.

Yes its very easy. I installed mine and it took 10 min. It was my first time ever for changing hardware.

it would be a squeeze- possibly not wide enough... also when door is installed, not much room to walk through opening as a human!

Yes. It is very easy to open. You just lift the door a little, and push open.

I can't answer for sure...only that there was a fair amount of adjustment available vertically, but not in depth of door. Hope that helps.

It fixed my door, although I am careful not to load too much stuff in the door anymore.It remains a mystery why the manufacturer does not install this simple part in the first place.

Yes the direction the door opens can be changed. Door is designed to move the hinges and handle to the opposite side.

I had difficulty with this install.I bought 2-gave one away and he installed it with screw driver and drill- mine is still in the drawer. It's not as easy as it looks because the mailboxes vary in type of opening latch and materials. Good Luck pjh

I am not quite sure I had the handy man from my building's complex do the actual installation of the Master Lock my door seams to be about 2" thick and I would think it seam to adjust easily.

The door has a fairly strong magnet. You should not have a problem with them opening unless considerable stress is involved.

My husband installed it and then realized it was meant for another door, so he had to remove it. He had no problem doing so. :) Hope that helps!

Not at all. You can find tutorials on YouTube. Hardest part was taking the door panel off.

Hi, simply slide the door door seal exposing the heads of the screws...from there it's simple! The seal goes back into place easily.

Well for me it's somewhat difficult to open. Maybe with constant opening and closing would help.. I hope this helps you.

Count and separate al your pieces and separate your fasteners in groups. It will make it easier. It takes a little effort to get the doors to adjust and that will take some sitting and leaning. The component will need to be sitting up right to adjust. From start to finish it took me about 45 minutes.

Interesting idea. Because it is an installation that should likely involve a talented and experienced do-it-yourselfer or carpenter/handyman, I would get in touch with a friend or good handyman to assess the challenges. Unless the opening is accessed by a door, the hardware might be less attractive than you want. It is an interesting approach.
