Can I install this to the bottom track? My Patio doors are tall and I would not be able to reach the top.

I would have to say no, you can't install it on the bottom due to the door track being in the way. Plus, when installed the bolt receiver needs to have clearance which it has on the top. Since the bolt is spring loaded though, you could always attach a short string/rope to it so you could pull it down while you open the door.

Cindy, Having installed 5 of these I would suggest that you probably could install them on the bottom although I would recommend against it. They are spring loaded to lock but a quarter turn holds them in the open position. That said, putting them on the bottom would defeat the child proof feature of having them inaccessible and because you would be drilling a 5/8" hole for the mechanism to lock into you could be ruining the track that the door slides on. You should also check to see if your threshold is mounted on wood or concrete. Personally, I would opt for the tried and true closet rod cut to the proper length to wedge the door shut. You would gain nothing by installing the locks. Paul Cindy, Having installed 5 of these I would suggest that you probably could install them on the bottom although I would recommend against it.

Assuming that you wanted the privacy screen to be over 6 ft in height, attaching to only the top crown railing probably wouldn't be enough support to handle the height of the thin latticework. But if you attached at the bottom rail and again at the top (requiring a larger piece of lattice) it would likely work. You might want to consider the Monarch 72" planter, which has a larger moulding profile at the top and bottom rails

The Track is about 16 inches. You need at least 17 to be able to close the door. I think it will fit with a bit to spare. We love ours!Jan

I had this hardware installed by a handyman. We ordered a wider door (40"?) from Home Depot and it was 1-1/2" thick. The bottom track that comes w/this unit is for a door that's 1" thick (that's what handyman said), so we're going to use something else to keep bottom of door from swinging out. All in all, the track is great....really quiet and rolls easily.

I'm definitely not an expert, but I really don't think you can. Probably the only thing you could do is put it backwards. You'd only have access to one door on the side that is at the bottom of the ramp.

I am not sure but I don't see why you couldn't. This isn't any different from a stock track bar accept being able to adjust the length.

You really need both upper and lower tracks to provide the needed stability to the shelf unit. It's a great product! Hope you'll find it a helpful and useful as ours!

I would say you could bolt it from the bottom possibly if you take the screw clamps out of the holes they run through. Probably not the best option though.

Yes, definitely. Your only concern will be how to keep the sliding door you use "secure" when you are not at home. You can put a 1-1/2" dowel in the track, or even some of those sliding door locks from the hardware store, BUT if it is a wide pet panel, a thief an remove the panel and slip in. Fortunately mine is in a locked backyard, but we're working on that problem for my daughter's place, as her slider is more accessible to public.

The aluminum panel should work. As previously stated, please make sure to order the correct height for your door track.

works well on single metal and wood doors. Not sure on patio sliding door. I always used a wooden or metal bar in the track.

Since the bottom 'track' is galvanized, you can put the shed on whatever medium you want, but it works better if you build a floor under it. I use shipping pallets with OSB or plywood sheathing on top of them for the best results and ease of maintenance.

I'm sorry, it's been too long for me to remember. But I don't see why not-----. However, Mine was too tall for the fence I wanted it against, so I dug holes and buried it to the bottom "rung". This might work for you.

If you hang it higher off the ground you can loop the bottom 3 rungs a lot longer. That mightbsolve your problem.

Hello! A lot of it depends on the orientation of the lights, but it's approximately 7.5" to the bottom. You can bend the track in to an "L" shape. If there is anything else we can help with, please let us know! Lighting and Locks 800-334-5804

I don't think I would try that but if you can find a way to connect the top of the lower unit to the bottom of the upper unit it might work.

Not sure, I guess just screw it into the bottom if you have enough clearance below.
