Can this be used instead of the spring-type doorstop that goes on a wall to keep the door from hitting the wall? Thanks.

Yes. You do not need to drill holes in the floor or the walls or the door. You can adjust the door opening to wherever you want it. I bought four for four french doors. If i don't have them all open, i use two on one door to keep it open to where i want, - one before and one at the back. They are just perfect. I have tiled floors that i didn't want to drill holes in, and furniture behind the doors that needs protection. You can shift them around the house. I recommend them.

It can be used in the fashion but I certainly prefer using it as a doorstop.

That is exactly how I am using these door stops throughout my new house. The Blomus door stop is far easier to clean than the spring-type stops, too.

Yes. These door stops are solid and could manage being used for your purpose.

Not sure what you mean by spring mechanism. It stays on door by large U-shaped door hooks at top and bottom. The shelves are added on, so if all you wanted was a large scratching post, think it might work for you.

Yes. That's exactly how I used it except the door (conventional solid core) swings out. I covered it and the wall around it with bead board and it virtually disappeared. To figure out the best hinge swing and how best to align the headboard joints, I built a mock up first.

You would need to use anchors no matter what type of wall. The eyelets that came with the gate do not support normal use. (Opening the gate several time a day. There is a push lock at the top to release the gate to open (not like a door, it slides). Not a good design if the area is a normal passageway.

No. I used a stopper. You can use a stick or suction cup to stop the door from sliding.

Yes, will work fine. We even removed door hanging mechanism and screwed it into the wall.

Hi Craig, I used a piece of wood for years and it worked fine. This does seem to offer better security (if you need it) and it is very convenient. It is mounted inn the center verses at floor which will give more security. No more bending over to get the wood and it laying by the door on the floor. I personally like it better than the wood. Have a nice day.

You can put hinges on the ends and attach it to the wall, but it won't be easy. But it isn't made to be attached to a wall. Hope My answer helped you some. I got one and I use it just like it is, and I love it.

There are these small "cups" that can be screwed into the wall or post (the gate then pressure mounts into these cups) and these supposedly make the gate safe for the top of the stairs. But, I personally wouldn't do this and would get a different type of gate.

If you are asking if it will prevent the door from slamming, no it won't if it is mounted in such a way as to close the door. The way it works is that there is a spring inside the vertical part of it that presses the lateral arm against the door, which closes the door. The lateral arm just slides in a track (provided) that prevents damage to the door. If you want to use it to prevent the door from slamming, you could mount it on the other side of the door with the lateral arm pushing the door open rather than closed. The pressure is adjustable and might be able to slow or soften the closing of the door.

I imagine you would have to secure it to the wall/baseboard somehow. It is very sturdy however, we have ours outside and it never even budges.

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.

first off the spring is not going to be fully compressed. The only reason for the spring is simply to avoid slamming the door into the magnet. When engaged the face of the door is 4' from the wall.

No, it just hangs over the top of the door. I put it on the wall because I didn't want another one on the door. It fits snug.

It's base is not really stable enough to use on a counter (especially when opening and closing the doors). But, I believe you could set it on a counter and anchor it into a wall and still get the effect you're looking for.

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.

I concur with DeVille. The spring just pushes on the arm and the arm pushes on something. By default that's the door which is hinged and swings on the hinges. If your "door" opened from top to bottom, you might be able to mount it perpendicular, but be aware that the force of of the spring really is only enough to help a door already intent on closing to actually finish the job (and latch, for instance)
