Would this work over top of a rubber guard flap that is already affixed to the bottom of the door? One that doesn't have any padding and doesn't keep noise out?

I don't think it would work well over the rubber guard. I took off the guard that was there anyway because I couldn't get it adjusted correctly so it wouldn't scratch my wood floor. These little twin guards work great for me.

If you can fit it under the guard it should do just about the same job as without. Maybe even better.

Yes, it would work over rubber guard flap, but I would not recommend this product. It works great for the first few weeks, but then starts to get stuck (rolls under) under the bottom of the door which makes it difficult to open the door. I would not purchase this brand

I would assume any padding will lessen the noise. I have this setup in garage so I can't speak from experience. Maybe someone who has similar setup to your will have a more concrete answer.

It might if the door was jarred or thumped hard enough, but I suppose if they were able to do it gently, then no. Just my guess, haven't tried it personally. :) I've triggered mine mistakenly on occasion by bumping it or hitting it with the dog's fetch toys, but it's smart enough not to sound when the sliding glass doors are opened. Ultimately I think these alarms are designed for sounding upon breakage of the glass, they are definitely a good deterrent in that regard, but for covert entry through doors being opened(or removed) they probably won't fare so well, unless it was done in a forceful enough manner. Hope this info helped!

Well, there's a loose metal piece that fits on two grooves that serves the purpose of making a better fit on my door, which is only about an inch thick. I measured the over-the-door portion without the loose metal piece, and it's just over 1 3/4", so I would say yes, if you can finagle that piece off. Seems simple enough to do, IMHO.

It isn't the quietest device but I'd think you'd be fine if the door was closed. You could consider a low playing radio in the background to mask it more.

I used this in a fairly tight spot with little room at the head of the door. If u have about 4" of trim above the door it should work

Yes. It has metal hanger clips that hook over the door. There is padding to protect the door

Does block the bottom of the door if there is a gap but not sure if it muffles sound on the other side. I'm replacing my hollow core doors with solid doors as I know that will help with decreasing noise.

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 think it has enough bars to make that a possibility. I have mine over the door. But I think if you attach a metal piece sideways on the back part it's a possibility. It just takes a little creativity

It hooks over the door with two j-shaped brackets. It is fairly secure if there's a good snug fit once the door shuts. Also, there's a rectangle of foam padding on the back center bottom to keep it from damaging the surface behind it. It's a little noisy when they dunk on it, but even after MANY impacts, there's zero door damage.

Can't help you there. I'm using it internally for office purposes But I would think a gasket behind it should work. You would need a gasket behind the spring loaded door and behind the rim where it makes contact with the door.

It does make some noise asit is a three piece door with rubber flaps to seal around the edges. I will deal with the noise for the tight seal.

I would say No. I know my garage doors use a prefabbed wood with a rubber flap seal, not sure of your configuration.

I am not sure, because I only use the top cover. I think the bottom part adds too much bulkiness and didn't like it. I think I remember putting it on for the first time and was not aware of any noises. I suggest you to just use the top :)

Not that I'm aware of. I suppose you might be able to rig one up, but I would think it might interfere with the operation of the chip-enabled flap. We get more air leakage from under our front door than this cat door. It's pretty good as far as that goes.

I have carpeting and the draft guard works fine. Even if your carpet might be thicker than mine is, it should still fit ok. There is enough "give" to the fabric to allow the door to operate and not get stuck. Mine fit perfectly with no adjustment needed at all. Comparing it to the ones my neighbors have, I think mine is a better quality too. I would recommend this door guard. I do not know how deep your carpeting is, so if it is excessively deep that could be a problem, but most people do not have carpeting that is that deep.
