Does this item work on metal doors?

It comes with a long sort of plastic cord attached{3 1/2 inches} that you hang over the door knob.I don't think that being metal should affect how it works as long as it can hang over the knob.

These would adhere to metal doors. The adhesive backing is quite strong. Read my review.

No it's only for metal doors and the magnet isn't even strong enough to hold a light curtain without continually sliding or falling completely off the door.

Sorry I have not tested yet on metal, it seems to do fine on glass, not great, but does ok on glass and wood..

I don't think so. It hardly worked on metal.The scratches can not be deep at all, for any product like this to work.I was not pleased.

I'm not sure--it might work on a swinging door but it would have to have a lip (like the inner strip of a door frame, as seen in the picture) to catch on. If you have that, then it would probably work.

I just received mine yesterday. I have a metal door downstairs. Another metal door upstairs in a concrete block apt. and it works great. The only problem was the cheap two way tape for the push button didn't hold and fell off the wall. I bought heavy duty 3M Command so just testing that out.

Sure will , they are simple magnetic contacts, a metal door or window wont effect them at all.

It will not work on a door that opens out. I didn't realize that when I bought mine.

Works just fine on our all metal box from Lowes. I think the key is that the door is open when the switch is tripped so it doesn't really matter what the mailbox is made of. Had ours now for almost two months without any problems noticed.

I suspect it would work but, for a metal door, I would use something like Bondo. This is especially made to adhere to metal and is relatively inexpensive and available at any auto supply store.

the mail slot has two pieces. One for the inside and one for the outside, so I think it will work on any door. The hole in my door was a bit small so I had to carefully file it out a bit larger. Also I had to drill 4 holes for the pins that connect front to back. Other than that, you can put it together with a screw driver. Its not weather proof by any means. I get some cold air in the winter. It is solid metal and good looking.

Not sure. I haven't tried it on my glass door. I have glass tile and it works fine. I love it

It would work on a lightweight door such as a hollow core door. If it's hollow, you may need to reinforce around the bolt area.

A U-shaped plastic piece slips over the top of most doors, in our case it works perfectly on a closet door. We are in a tract home with standard 1.5" thick doors.

Yes, but it depends on the thickness of your door. The plastic piece is somewhat flexible.

It only works on wall material that has been nailed or screwed in place. The stud finders are magnetic, so they work be being attracted to metal.
