Is the purpose of this bracket to be able to 'break away' from the door if something gets jammed?

I don't believe so. It's a better and stranger replacement than the Original part. I did have to modify it meaning, I had to cut the length by about two inches. So to answer your question, No it is not built to "break away" although it looks like it.

No. It's firmly attached to the door with bolts and to the opener lift arm by a pin that is held in place by a cotter pin.

The bracket that holds it up is attached to the door with 2 screws. The bar itself is attached to the jam with 2 screws also.

I would not say it would be unstable. Whether or not there is any movement with the unit or the load you place in it will on,y depend upon the pace you close/slam the door. However, it just makes sense to secure either the middle or bottom of the door with one of the methods you mentioned. It will not hurt appearance. Good luck.

It needs the doorframe to secure into, perhaps if you had studs on either side it might hold

Unless your lock is weak, I don't think this could be used to help a thief open your door, but it would look very weird if left on an outside door, as it sort of looks like some kind of odd bondage gear.

It would prevent the door from opening completely, but it's not designed for super thin doors. The gap is designed for doors over 1" in thickness. It does include a few small spacers (I don't recall the sizes) but they won't get small enough for a glass door. If you get creative with adding your own spacers, it may work.

Doubt it'd break, but yo might need to add a longer "rope" or maybe just extend the existing one. The metal and working parts should be fine no matter what size door as long as the top section fits the thickness of the door snuggly

This is a entry door lock. I don't think it is designed for your application.

No, it simply keeps the door from swinging closed. It might slow them down but it certainly won't prevent it. I bought it because my doors like to close themselves.

I used it with a curtain. It looks like it would clamp ok but, you would not be able to slide the door past it.

Yes, but with a practical caveat, the bracket actually pivots from the magnets so when mounted vertically it would always swing out when you pull off a sheet.

This works by catching the door jamb. If there is a small gap in your exterior doors - it works well. We mainly use it on interior doors to keep kids out of rooms they don't need to be in without supervision. The door stays open a couple of inches, but is too tall for them to reach.

Yes, this attaches to the jamb and trim and not the door. Even if you need to mount it outward some to clear the trim it will still keep the door from opening more than the 1/2 inch you mounted it away from the door for clearance.

It's used to hold gun stable when in the door jam to blow the lock open so you wouldn't need it unless you want to unlock doors with it

I presume you are talkng about the door jam plate - the long side off the L butts up against the door frame and you remove the corresponding cutout for your deadbolt. The short side side of this L is slightly angled to act as a door guide.

It hooks over the door with two j-shaped brackets. It is fairly secure if there's a good snug fit once the door shuts. Also, there's a rectangle of foam padding on the back center bottom to keep it from damaging the surface behind it. It's a little noisy when they dunk on it, but even after MANY impacts, there's zero door damage.

Probably - you'd have to close off the "door", but you could likely use the spindles provided. It doesn't appear structural, but I'm not a designer/engineer.
