Do you have to take the door off the hinges to install this weatherstrip?

Ah Geeeezzz ! An embarassing question. I bought this item last December but I got sick before I "got around to it".... So anyway, we went away for the winter (Florida). We came back & it was warm weather and other "stuff" got a priority sooooo It still ain't installed so I can't answer. SorryTo Eric who wondered why I posted this review... I did it because Amazon asked me about my use of it. I answered candidly. Now...I am wondering why you are interested in my comments ??? Perhaps a bizarre interest in me ? Stay home and play dolls in your mommy's basement, troll. Ah Geeeezzz ! An embarassing question. I bought this item last December but I got sick before I "got around to it"....

No, definitely not.. the weather strip fits fine in the frame when the door is open.

Not normally. It plugs right in the existing grooves. This is a replacement for steel doors with an existing weatherstrip. This does not "stick on ". It plugs into the grooves the existing weatherstrip is in once you remove the old one.

No door removal is not necessary. Open door grasp the striping and pull firmly, working along the strip. Place old strip next to new strip and trim to length if necessary. To re install, insert flat tab with lines into the slot in the jamb and firmly press into place. This should finish the project.

Yes. There are 2 glass doors that install desperately from the unit and you can easily leave them off. Put the aside and save them in case you decide to use them some other time.

Yes, you remove the front & install the hingesto it. You will need to have a drill & know how to use it. It you have basic/moderate handyman skills this will be moderately easy. Takes about 20 minutes.

Just like with any door you can add some weatherstripping from a hardware store. Some has a peel-off backing and is sticky to adhere while others may need construction adhesive, or caulking, or equivalent to hold it on. If the shed isn't assembled correctly or any panels are warped then this may not be enough, you might need to check assembly or exchange any warped panels.

looks like everyone else has answered what you needed to know.... i would wait for a warm day in the sun to install, it fits really tight, also be carefull with the door surounds, the plastic knob that attatches to the body broke on mine when putting in place.

Are you asking how to install them without the door closing while you're doing the install? If so, we installed to the door then held it up like it would be when it was shut and screwed the hinge to the cabinet frame. If you're asking if the self-closing is optional, no its not. Like Kemosabe said, its a wonderful feature, but it's not optional, so you'll need to find different hinges if you don't want that feature.

No...there are brackets that are mounted into the sunroof that hold it in place.

Yes, you can install it on any of the hinges. Although it works better if you have a locking nut on the threads so it doesn't back off over time.

It does not have to come off but it is easier. If you go to the door you will have to remove the flap

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

No the important side is the lock side where the door is weakest. First close the door and see if there is enough room for plate to fit between the door and the casing. If there is it is an easy install. For the hinge side if the door has 3 hinges it is an easy install. If there is 2 have someone to hold the door and remove one hinge at a time. I hade 3 so it was very easy. Remember to predrill the screw holes with a smaller drill bit for a the plate on lock side.

Using a nail, hammer the pin out from the bottom of the hinge.Note: I installed the hinges without taking the pins out. I just removed and replaced the hinges one at a time. I did not have to unhinge the door.

You must first take the door off its hinges. Then you simply attach it with staples, nails, or screws. Fasteners are not included.

Oh definitely yes! You install it with water, and it sticks to the window with static, so yes, it is very easy to remove when you want it gone.

I have weather stripping on my doors and it does not interfere with the door. You may find that the door closes a little harder or tighter than normal but shouldn't interfere other than that.

No you would have to take the hings off of the one panel but I just leave one planel flat on one of the side together and it is thincker but very usable . I love my gate .

Jody,I didn't need to do this, but I think the instructions say you can do that for 2 doors. BTW, this was very easy to install and works very well.
