is this a product to slow down my door so it won't slam from strong winds if is is not for this use can you recommend another that will?

No it won't slow down your door unless you have a spring on your door. You could get a commercial door top spring to slow your door down

I don't know that that is the best idea because the material is a little light. for an exterior door you might want one of the plastic door guards that you attach to the bottom of the door, hanging down.

I found that do not have a lot of air coming from the flap. I have had a rubber flimsy door before and it was horrible and letting the cold air in. Maybe you can line the door with some weather stripping or use a window that is not getting so much wind. This product is the best one that I have found. The magnets are strong, and entire device is built well.

it is spring loaded to retract. you can open it at any time while attached to door or window. Therefore it would not hold back a door or window and could break in high winds. that would depend on the size of the door or window. I have it on a 2x3 plexiglass door on my cold frame and have not had any problems with gusty winds up to 20MPH

I use these on my exterior french doors (open to the outside onto a deck) and have had NO problem with them. I have tremendous winds and the doors have never moved. Now, you might have to elevate the Wedge-It by putting something underneath it if the space between the floor & bottom of the door is large. Fortunately I did not have that problem . I just love these because they are so easy to store, insert & remove being that they are small. They take up NO room! Hope this helps.

No, it is a door stop. (Prevents dings in the wall behind the door)Best to use a wedge under a heavy glass door like yours.

I don't think I understand the question but this slides the door up and down. I think I googled the makers and found their site and I swear they make one now that swings open and shut like your average front door. I may be wrong but I swore I found one. Our has been great! Had it about 6 months now

I like the product and you have the ability to anchor it down very well but for what you are wanting to do I would not. I suggest a Carolina cover. They are built heavier and stronger, but of coarse much more expensive.

I have it installed on an exterior door. We just went thru a hurricane with heavy rains in Hawaii and experienced no problems.

Hmmm.....I am pretty sure it will not help you with your door that has a tendency to slam shut.The product has a coiled spring with a bar extension coming out from it, that, as the coiled spring uncoils, the bar pushes against the door, closing it.If for whatever reason your door slams shut now, I believe that it would continue to do so, with this product attached to it.

This one was pretty rigid. It is not thick so it does have a little bend, however depending on the curvature of the door - I would search for a product from that door MFG.

this are really strong on my outside door. I have a very heavy wreathe on it and we get a lot of wind up here. this works great

No. It is simply a spring. You could install a magnetic door stop so that it stays open if you push it all the way to the wall, or you could just use a regular door stop.It's not *super* strong. If you are trying to close a heavier outside door, you need to look at a proper hydraulic door closer.

It would not work for that situation. It is designed to close a door, not slow it down.

I put one on my storm door two weeks ago and it works great. No noise what so ever. Could you have the control to tight? Are you sure the noise is coming from the control? I am sorry you are having problems.

It's not too loud behind a closed door. They sell dampeners also that are rubber and help reduce the noise

I ended up returning my extra-large door because it was too big. I ended up getting a med. One with a hard plastic swinging door. It seems to close out most of the elements except when the wind blows it open.i wish there were a double door.
