Will this unit work on a recessed door? My front door is recessed into the outer wall 2-3 inches. How do I mount the unit?

You may have to shim the alarm out to meet the magnet. The alarm unit and the magnet unit must be in fairly close proximity.

You can mount the unit in the recess or on the door as long as the both parts can meet each other

you might have to add a spacer to adjust the levels to be even. perhaps some thick double sided foam tape might work. fyi: the tone (sound) was not loud enough for me...I have uninstalled the product. I am hearing impaired, so it might be loud enough for someone else. easy to use product. Note: the alarm is deafening, even for me.

Two pieces are mounted, the main chime (pictured) and the narrow rectangular magnet piece. I mounted the main chime on the door and the magnet on the door frame. I would think that as long as you have the width of the narrow piece available on the other side of the door crack then you will be fine. I believe the narrow piece is less than 1/2" wide.

the door has to be flush with the door frame for the unit to work.. It is mounted on the inside of the door.. NOT OUTSIDE..

You would need to modify it. Remove the screws for the door hooks then screw directly to the wall with plastic wall anchors should work.

You don't need to mount it to a door. It has a 3-leg base. Still, beware, as mine doesn't work and the seller can't help fix. A local repair shop couldn't do anything either.

It depends how far it's recessed. This has a block on the back that mounts it to the wall, you open the metal flap and screw it from inside where the tp goes. Warning, my dogs figured it out fast.

It wont fit in a standard unit I thought to do the same ,but not enough room if you have a chime unit relay with springs that go ding dong......I mounted mine on top of the unit its about 2" by 4" sorry cant give you exact dimensiond just rough ones.....need a ladder to climb up to measure its high up on the wall.....good luck

it is designed to be wider than the door... There is a chance that you are not mounting it properly? It should hang from the chin bar and only rest against the outside of the frame/trim of (the) door... Let me know if you need advice to mount it...

It is not meant to be recessed. The sides of the cabinet are mirrors. Not sure if you could install it as recessed.

I installed this in a wall with 2.5" studs, rather than standard 3.5" studs, and it worked fine. You should have at least 2.5" behind the drywall.

Yes, We have about 3/4" recess under our cabinets and it mounted easily and works great.

I ( think). This won't work on your door. It's been a long time since I've put mine in. You might want to go to store and measure one there or ask seller for dimensions

The unit is not reliant upon traditional methods of attachment. The frame basically slides over the top and bottom of the door. I do not believe width of the door would be a factor at all. Depending on how thin the doors are you may need a little additional bracing to keep it from moving back and forth, but I doubt it.

The unit can be mounted either way. I have mine mounted in the wall and it still protrudes a couple of inches. If you mount it on the wall it would protrude about 6 inches. Keith

I would say you could probably install this on a 2 or 3 foot door with no problem. Mine is installed on a 4 foot door.

It does stick up about 3-4 inches. I mounted mine in the back door for that exact reason...

I only hah 3" on my shaft wich was just right .My brother had 4" on his shaft and that was fine the shaft can go inside the unit about 2 " so you don't have to cut the shaft. You just don't wat to mount the unit to close to the door track my unit is about 1" from the track

yes! We have ours on 48" wide entranceway and it works great. Please be sure to consider using a small piece of plywood at either end between the mounting bracket and the wall or door jam. Depending on the door jam you may not need it....if its flush against sheetrock, then its mandatory to avoid a small indentation being created as you tighten the gate supports.

It has a "kit" that makes it able to wall mount, having slim mirrors on the sides, or you can recess mount it. Hole opening should measure 14 1/8 inch by 25 inch. 14 1/8 inch makes it right for fitting between the studs and once you slide it into the hole you just screw it to the studs. I recess mounted mine - looks great !!
