What is an electric strike release? |
An electric strike release is an electrical device that is installed in the
doorframe. When activated, it permits the door to be opened without turning

The Private-Door Duo and System require 5 inches of space between the wall
and the face of the door. The Private-Door Assistant and Solo require 3
1/2” inches. |
|
How many degrees will my door open? |
The door can swing up to 120 degrees. |
|
I have and expensive door and don’t want to mount Private-Door to it. What can we do? |
The Private-Door's components mount to the edge of your door so no holes are
drilled in the face of the door. When stained or painted, the Private-Door
virtually disappears into the surface of the door. |
|
Can I install a Private-Door on the entrance to my commercial building or store? |
No. Private-Door is designed to be installed on entrance doors of residences
and the interior office doors of professional buildings. Private-Door is not
intended and should not be installed on the entrances of commercial
buildings. |
|
Our door opens to the outside, can I install a Private-Door? |
Sorry, Private-Door can only be installed on the inside
of the residence. It can be installed on a door that swings into a garage
but not into a porch, breezeway or carport. |
| Why can a Private-Door be installed on a door that swings into a garage and not into a porch? |
The Private-Door's electronics are not designed to be exposed to the
elements. A garage provides ample protection for the Private-Door's electronics. |
| Can I install a Private-Door on French doors? |
You can install Private-Door on
French doors under these two conditions. 1) The two doors swing into the home. 2) Only one door is to be automated. 3) The door to be automated functions like a traditional single door. |
