Is the front door supposed to fit tight or jost hang on the front with gaps on the sides?

It just hangs on the front. Keeps the air flow circulating but it isn't a seal.. The moisture has to escape from somewhere :)

It just hangs. It is NOT a tight fight. You want air flow, its not like an oven that is enclosed. The plus side is, while it is running, you don't need much additional heat in the room; it does it for you. If the extra heat is a problem, open a window near the back of the machine so the hot air from the back goes outside instead of in.

install a piece of 1'x1' flush with 3 screws flush with the door jamb. make sure the bars won't rub against it.

I find that it feels like sponge and compresses quite a lot. In fact, after you remove the backing to reveal the sticky side, you can actually it stretch quite a fair bit, not that you would want to. If you are using it along the entire perimeter of the door, the final closing may get a little stiffer but I do prefer a tight seal. That is also assuming your 1/16" gap is uniform across. Definitely not a problem on the hinged side of the door though.

It is a little tight when the hard top is on. but with it off fits great. Regardless it keeps the rain out. If no doors then fit will be good as well. You can always return it.

If the part that attaches to the door is not sitting flat, then you probably have a door that is thicker than 1 1/4" (probably 1 3/8"), in which case, you will have to notch the door to accommodate the metal flanges that are preventing the hinge flap from laying flat.

Fins are 1/2" long, and should fill the gap. I removed the door from the hinges and used nails to secure it under the door. Nails worked well for me because I had to pry it down to fill the gap which was greater than 1/2" and that perfectly sealed the gap. Still in use on front door and seems to be holding up well. Hope that helps:)

The door on mine fits very loosely. It looks like it was made that way and it seems to work fine. I assumed it had something to do with the ventilation.

The back does not have any gaps. However there are small gaps on either side of the door in the front. They are the full height of the unit and about 1/4" wide. You could run a slim cable through those gaps and turn the front to the back because the back of the unit could be used as the front.

My installation was on/in a 6 panel door. I chose to go directly in the center of the door vs. to one side. My line of thinking was that it would create less of a problem by not getting the edge of the door to thin and possibly warping it in the future! You do notice a gap where the door panel(s) concave's, however, it is not enough so that it bothers the Mrs. or myself. Additionally, the center housing that "locks" everything together is designed in a way that the "gaps" or "concave areas" of the door are sealed. Hope this helps?

It will be close but better than it is now and less expensive than a new door. You might consider removing and reinstalling the door trim a bit closer to the door. In any case, don't install the product too tightly against the rest of the door or you will have difficulty closing the door completely.

It fits thru the front door. If its an interior door you have to be able to push the door clear around perhaps 180 degrees

Once rolled up, it hangs over the edge about 6" and the door clearance is 2", so it does kind of get in the way. We have the 42" midwest two door crate with dividers. I leave the front panel down (so three sides are covered). The side is rolled up, and then we roll that over onto the top of the crate so that it doesn't get in the way of opening the door.

I had a similar suited door, and it managed to squeeze in. You might want to ask someone for help, but it should fit.

Since the rail covers overlap in the front corners, the cover seals leave a little gap. I have not had too much of a problem with this but have considered using a little caulk in the gaps to help out.

It should be enough room but I have noticed even with enough room on the side the doors still do not open very wide. My only real complaint.

Both doors are indented about 3/8 inch in from the side columns, but meet flush in the middle. Hope this answers your question.

No problems in the couple years I have had. I could see having issues if you do not follow directions closely when installing front doors. Overall I'm really happy with space and how well it is holding up.
