Can this be used in a mobile home door frame?

Should still work just fine, provided that the door frame is within the size range. Mobile Home door frames are wood studs, so strength shouldn't be an issue.

I don't see why not. The pressure is above the door frame on the wall at the back, and on the door frame on the front. As long as you can't throw your body onto your door frame and knock it down, simply lifting your weight should be fine

I would be hesitant to do that. Yes, mobile homes have studs, but they're about half the thickness and width of regular 2x4's.

Presuming your metal door is foam core like the one I did, it can certainly be installed but cutting the metal requires a pretty heavy duty Sawzall or similar. I made a pretty big mess of the cut and the directions lead you to put the template upside down. The good news is that the large width of the frame covered the irregular and jagged edges of the cut.

The hardware screws in to the wall. It would work fine as long as you are willing to screw in to the door frame.

It would depend on how thick the frame is and its exterior dimensions. There isn't much extra room to spare. Hope this helps at least a little.

The simplest answer is "No!" However, if I wanted to attach it to an aluminum door I would try 3M Very High Bond foam tape.

No. In fact I couldn't use it for my doors. I live in New Orleans and we have old heavy wood doors. Totally useless.

Yes it could if the door is solid enough, remember it will need to bear the weight of all the objects you plan to attach to it!! I think it's primarily aimed at a wall mount.

I'm not sure about the metal framed door. However my units require frequent resetting and when I talk on my cordless phone the ringer continuously goes off. Not a good unit for my purposes. Can not recommend.

Should not be a problem. This unit is very simple. The one decision you will have to make is to mount the screen on the inside of the existing door frame or outside the frame (on the face). Mine worked best on the outside but it works well either way.

Cassey, Your frame would have to be 3/4 inches thick. These are designed for a 1/2 overlay. Which means the door would overlay the frame by 1/2 inch. As far as dimensions, the door could be any size. Hope this helpsDennis

If the size of the opening works, I wouldn't see why you couldn't put it inside the door frame.

It fit on the bedroom door of a mobile home so it should fit the closet door the same

I do not know whether it will work on a metal door frame. I can confirm though that it works where a single button push will activate multiple chimes placed in different locations of the house.We are close to trashing ours after just a year of use. The batteries are very quick to drain down. In addition, it will simply let out a chime at random times a couple times a month. I can't recall what rating I gave this product, but can tell you I will never buy another one.

if your question is in regards to a mobile / modular home, the answer would be yes because it's just like a typical door knob.

If you used an appropriate screw with anchor system you could (anchor because most doors are hollow core). If solid door no issue at all and a good idea. We have 4 of them. :)

We only ever used it with framed doorways. I don't think it would work on unframed.
