Can you shut the door with it on?

I was worried about that too, but the metal is quite thin at the top and my door shuts perfectly fine with it on.

I don't have a problem shutting the door, but it does make a little bit of noise

It depends on how far away the door and the frame are. I used in my old apartment, the door shuts perfectly. Now in my new apartment it gets a little hard, but still can do. I think you will be able to shut the door in most cases, but I would not recommend using it on an extremely expensive door if you want to stay away from scratches.

Well, I have it on my closet's door and I can shut it w/o problem. However, I tried putting it on my room's door, and it cannot be closed. It depends on the kind of door too.

You can leave the door off if you wish , no hinges attached hope this helps.

You can leave it open, just like a regular door. We leave ours open all day, then close it when we're home with the baby.

Yes. There is an opening on the side to turn it on/off silent. It is small though, and having nails helps!

Yes, you can leave a door or window that has the module on it open when the alarm is armed. It senses a change in position. We have some windows into which we have placed rods so they can be opened only a few inches and will occasionally leave those open when we arm the alarm upon leaving our home.

I have this model door closer and it closes perfectly - complete closes, quietly and quickly, with a soft close. Ours does not keep the door open, but I do not know if it has the ability to do so.

You can do that but the alarm will be going off when you exit until you close the door.

If you didn't want the door, it could be removed and put back on later. I do that when I clean it. Hope this helps!

I think it would but then you wouldn't be able to close the door. It isn't something that should be put on and taken off- it needs to be very tight so as not to slip.

No, we keep ours closed all the time. You can use it with the window open but you don't do anything different to use it with the window closed.

YES. You can lock it out or just turn it off. There is a hold button which stops the timer and you just close the door by any means you already have. Or just turn it off if you prefer. The one downside is that it can close with you outside if you don't hear the alarm. So you should have a way back into the house either a hidden key, a wireless external keyboard.

You can leave the door off. You have to completely assemble this item. Yourself.

Yes. The switch slides down the back with your thumb. Very smoth easy operation. Yes you have to hold it down to operate and release to shut it off.

No - you just have to keep the door open. Once you install the Blank Slate onto the door frame, you won't be able to close the door without taking it down. However, the Blank Slate is pretty easy to put up and take down, once assembled together.

Yes, you can keep the door open in two ways. You can set a preset time to close the door from three minutes up to a maximum of 60 minutes. The second method is to press the hold button, which will keep the door open indefinitely, but will close the door when the interior garage gets dark (i.e. at sunset) I hope this helps.

Yes it turns off it just goes off for a second like a door bell, when we open our door. It has a off button to when you don't want it on.
