Has anyone tried using the product on small sliding doors? For example, the doors on a wooden TV stand, thanks in advance.

I dont think it would work because of its design. There are some specifically made for those applications, tho.

Won't work unless you build out a "L" type of piece in the back and attach the item there. Still may be an issue. You can use a standard Key lock for that from the hardware store that has a turning radius with a locking mechanism.

I dont think its designed for that. Its really made for the doors that swing outward (like kitchen cabinets).

I used it on the bottom edges of the drawer sides. I cut the 3/4" strip down to the thickness of the drawer sides. It works perfectly. I used it on 10 piston style drawers in an apothecary style DVD chest and the drawers slide great. Good luck with your project. I am very happy with the product.

Its kind of hard to say. Just how hard is the door to close? The product is very slippery but would wash off in no time.Then when you spray it on there it would land on the floor and create a slippery condition there.Can the door be adjusted up at all?How about trimming the strip very carefully.I used this product on car door gaskets during winter to stop sticking from ice and inside the door locks. Works fine there. Good luck but by all means, still try it cause there is still a ton of uses for it around the house.

Yes it would, we have awning windows, so we opted for the sliding door kit. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!The unit broke down after 3 weeks and Haier didn't stand by the product. It took from July to OCTOBER to rectify. They finally sent a new unit. GOOD LUCK

I am having the same issue. I snapped in the two small locker arms and inserted the two screws with nuts. My 60" Vizio TV will can slide left or right on the horizontal bars. I am thinking about putting a couple of black cable ties on each side to prevent the movement.

In my opinion this is designed for tubs with shower curtains and not sliding doors. It is a great product but once installed you could not close sliding doors. Note: our bath tub is mounted against the walls on three sides with only one side used for a curtain or sliding doors.

I used it last summer in a horizontal window (slides l/r). I used a piece of wood to hold the sliding side firm against the a/c, and a thin sheet of opaque Plexiglas over the top. A mount was installed to support from the bottom. I filled any open spaces that remained with double-sided adhesive weather stripping. The sliders are only for regular (up/down) type windows, save them for if you ever need them (my landlord changed our windows from slide to regular this summer).

Worked great for me used it on our sliding closet doors on our fifth wheel. The tape strip that came was very thin and it had a strip on each side that had to be removed. Any good double tape should work, be sure you didn't miss a clear strip.

This bar is fixed to the door frame and props against the farthest (and innnermost) moving door. If you are going to slide to the other side, the bar will then be on the "wrong side." In that context it may not work -- assuming my understanding of your description is correct.

No. I used a stopper. You can use a stick or suction cup to stop the door from sliding.

I use mine on French doors that swing in as well. I just swing the doors in as far as they'll go, then put the bar inside the door frame and it works great! (Obviously you have to take it down to close the doors). Let me know if you need to know anything else. BTW I love this screen!

I have not seen a problem with this. It dosent rub against the door causing scoring. There is a very small gap of space so I don't have this problem

I had a similar problem. The door cannot be trimmed to make is smaller. However my husband being a finish carpenter simply took out the sheet rock header for the door and made the opening larger. All other screened doors were twice as expensive as these doors, so in the long run I was very happy. The entire installation only took him less than 3 hours. The draw back with these doors is they aren't tight and when opening they don't slide fast and that could be a problem for some people. In our application we only want the screen for air movement and have another door for going in and out......but no, the door cannot be trimmed at all.

I don't know if you still need this info (I see that this question is from 2013, haha) but we have folding doors and these worked amazing. I was suspicious because they were so inexpensive, but they work like a charm. Mommy's Helper Slide-Lok Bi-Fold Door Lock

This product has worked very well for us and is made for glass in and out. I will work great for your sliding glass doors. If you are doing only one sliding glass door you might be able to do it with one single kit it will be close. We removed out bath tube and put a full walk-in shower and did a full coating on the inside of the sliding shower doors and even a light coat on the outside. Probably would be the same on both sides the way it goes on. My glass surface was 2 sliding glass shower door 30"each by 68" tall (total 60"W x 68"H). Our shower doors were new so they were easy to prep with the cleaner in step one supplied. If the glass is already being in use the kit comes with a very fine steel wool to use with the cleaner to get the glass super clean before applying the Enduroshield coating. For me both the cleaner and coating were very easy to apply. If I remember right there is a curing time before you can get water on it. Don't remember if it was 12 or 24 hours? This kit is sold in a single bottle kit as well as a double battle kit and I believe they sell even larger quantity kits. I think you will like it. I would clean and coat the aluminum frame as well if I were you it would stop spotting as well. I added a YouTube video showing how to install it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KRfvU-j67ww Bob

While it may 'fit' in the opening, it will not be secure enough with the tension resting on the sliding door (the door on the one side will not be wide enough to hold the tension 'rings' on the end of the screws). I would not advise using this for a sliding door. They do make models that do fit sliding doors though - http://www.amazon.com/Cardinal-Gates-Lock-n-Block-Sliding-24-Inches/dp/B003TFEF3G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398872451&sr=8-2&keywords=Cardinal+Gates+Lock-N-Block+Sliding+Door+Gate - try that link.

Probably yes..... You just need two surfaces that are level with each other. I'm assuming one of the surfaces would be the stationary panel and the other would be the operating panel on your sliding door. As long as the sensors are able to align when the door is not moving it should work just fine as long as there is enough surface area to mount each part of the product to.
