can this be used on a door that opens out rather than in?

This particular model will not work on a door that opens out. But we do have a product that will work on outwardly opening doors. I will add it to my inventory on Amazon shortly. Thank you for your interest!

If the door swings out to open yes depending on the molding that is around the door.

Yes, but you would not be able to close the door. This is not designed to be a traditional "over the door" hanger, so the part that goes over the door is not flat.

Yes. It has hinges that can be placed on the inside or outside which determines the way the door opens.

I'd say likely not. The door I have it on is a bathroom stall door (pretty heavy) and it slows it down a touch and keeps it from slamming, but doesnt really act as a traditional door closer would. Theres no adjustments that I can recall.

No. But! If the door is large enough you can put one facing out and one facing in and whether you are out or in; you could slide that particular lock over. I found that this lock did not work well for us. I kept forgetting it was there and eventually broke it. But found nothing wrong with the lock itself.

That is what I wanted to do but unfortunately the door is too heavy and it tips over. I ended up having to mount it as you would not be able to keep anything in it and open the door.

It's not the best for front doors because, in order for it to work properly, there has to be that slight gap (maybe 1-2 inches), so the door is actually open. If you are't worried about bugs and don't mind a draft, then go right ahead. :-)

Yes you can, to open the door you have to removed but is a lock the you can control the the space..good luck. .

Door must be out-swing or in-swing. It could not be both. For in-swing you'll need to add a Z/L bracket.

Yes, There is some adjustment in the hardware for thickness of the door. It should work.

Only if you use a door stop at the base of the door. Remember it is just spring loaded closer.

Definitely not as the frame of the construction has to be resting on the outside of the door frame. So it would not be possible to open the door if it was mounted this way.

My husband installed it and then realized it was meant for another door, so he had to remove it. He had no problem doing so. :) Hope that helps!

The door does swing open 180 degrees. As for changing which way it opens... if you are skilled with tools and are very careful you might be able to take the hinges off and switch it around, but i wouldnt recommend it

Yes, but if the door is thicker than recommended, you will have to buy longer screws from the hardware store. If the door is thinner than recommended, you will have to buy shorter screws from the hardware store.
