I am interested in this closer for a hollow interior door. Will this easily attach??

Installed it on a hollow interior door in less than 10min. Used a cordless drill to make pilot holes for the screws in the wood trim around the door. Still working fine after about 6 months now.

Piece of cake. It attaches to the door jam with 4 screws, and the "bar" that pushes the door closed runs in a plastic 3" trough on the back of the door, that is attached with one screw. it took me 10'

Yes it works well. The hardware is attached to the door frame so having a hollow door is not a problem.

Yes, I attached to bedroom door which tended too stay open and the dog kept opening. Screwed to door and jam and took maybe five minutes. adjusted tension and works great to close door.

I'm using two of the closures on hollow core doors. No problem with installation. Work Great.

That would depend on the door. The narrow edge should be able to be wedged into the crack of any door I've seen, but unless the metal is just a thin skin on a light frame, it probably does not have the length to give you enough leverage.

This will definitely work! You attach to the door by pressure, not screws or anything permanent. It has a clamp at the end with what appears to be silicone (very good anyway) padding to protect the door surface, and it comes with a little allen wrench that is used to tighten the clamp. We removed them when we moved out of our house and you never would have known anything was ever there. That's why even though they're a bit pricey I like them.

In answer to your follow up comment, I suppose it would work if you attached it to the door . . . not sure.

Hi there Lissiekim, Yes I am still able to easily close my closet door. If you were to find it a tight fit between the hangers that go over the door and your door frame you could mount it to the door using screws as if you were going to mount it to the wall. I have the organizer on a closet where I keep out of season coats and it's a narrow closet so I think the jewelry touches them a bit though I haven't found any problem. Hanging it on the outside of the door would eliminate that and make a lovely display. Hope that helps!

Not perfectly. Ours is slightly bent. Door won't close. 2 1/8 in. Thick door. It's a gamble at 2 in. A bit under 2 and I would say its ok.

Depends on the enclosure. The sides where the door mounts and closes to would need to be structurally supported on teh backside of the fiberglass. THe door is heavy on the hinges, so if the fiberglass is not securely attached to a doubled 2x4 or something similar, it will more than likely pull the fiberglass out of shape and possibly tear it. It needs to attach through the finished surface into something very solid. Probably best to consult with the manufacturer or look up the install sheet/specs. Should be available online.

Yes. My door has the same thickness. Do not over tighten it by screwing it in with too much force. if you do you will crack the mirror inside and it will then be useless as my first became. I purchased another as this was my error. other than that my and I are very happy with this product..good luck!

My door is hollow and catches at times. I would say no it is strong but would not help if the door itself is weak.

It should attach to the narrow metal strip around the opening but there will be little if any overhang.

Hinge is small. But not sure if you're trying to fit In a really tight space if it will work. Ask manufacturer

Well, there's a loose metal piece that fits on two grooves that serves the purpose of making a better fit on my door, which is only about an inch thick. I measured the over-the-door portion without the loose metal piece, and it's just over 1 3/4", so I would say yes, if you can finagle that piece off. Seems simple enough to do, IMHO.

I would think so, if it isn't a narrow door. Probably couldn't be installed on a hollow door, at least not without mollies.

I measured the rim and it is only about 3/4 of an inch deep so I believe the door would open easily if you bought one.

it may work but i think the door has to be thicker. i'm thinking that type of door may not be very strong for this type.

Hello. I have not installed this product yet so I cannot at this time give an answer - BUT judging from looking at the item there is no "attachment" or "additional part(s)" of any kind that would leave me to believe the product will produce a "soft close".

yes, it is not well designed. I almost break the door. you have to pull a bit the side notches and act carefully
