can you cut it down to fit a much smaller opening, like a boat cabin door?

I don't see why not, but the the outside edge has a a band of material around it. If removed I'm not sure if it would be less stable. If it doesn't last forever, as the other person said - for $10 it can be replaced.

Yes, totally doable. Its just a light weight cotton mesh, and the magnets are are in small sections, so they can be cut around. I just looked at mine to make sure and I see no problem with doing that. And if you mess it up, hey its only $10! right?? Carole

You can size it down by removing links by removing small pin connecting the links with something very thin, i dont know if both sides are engravable

check with the company they make different sizes/ but you can cut them to fit your size of door

Yes I am sure you could. Simply cut off a few inches on each piece. The issue is the spring loaded insert that goes through the holes to determine the length. It probably could be moved with a pop rivot.

Not unless it's cut down. Mine is in a 36" width by 20" length by 1" depth.

I would imagine that it may not be an exact fit but that you could trim off the excess with scissors carefully and make any needed holes with a paper punch?

I have a short queen in my trailer. Can this be cut smaller? How hard would it be to make smaller?

Not sure, we had to cut more out, we had a snaller door in place, but it comes with a cutout you can follow

Yes you need sharp scissors or a good razor blade. There are" cut outs" but it will fit.

I don't see why not. You might need to cut it or tear it to make it smaller (easy peasy!) great idea!

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 had a similar problem.

Not really. Along the bottom edge is a magnet embedded in the plastic and along the top the plastic is molded and a bit thicker. So no real way to cut it down without losing one of those features. You should buy the correct size. It would be easier and, I suspect, cheaper.

The instructions do not indicate that there is a minimum size it can be cut to, they just instruct to cover the exposed edges of the trimmed pad in electrical tape. Hope this helps

No. I ended up cutting and safely pinning to make it smaller. Was a bad fit for me.

Of course you can. Your opening will be that much less of the size of the door you purchase.

Yes, and there would be a little room left over. It compensates for about an inch. You will still be able to close the door though.

If you are talking about a recessed area in the door that is narrower then the viewer you may be able to use a spacer, but it will depend on the depth of the recess and the thickness of the door.
