Can this be used on an aluminum storm door

I have an aluminum storm door and a sawzall worked fine. I replaced the cheap plastic bolts it comes with some aluminum ones from Lowes. Still works great and can't complain about a thing. (We have a pitbull that charges it full force when she hears the food)

I don't think so. There is a minimum thickness of the door in order to install the pet door.

I think the pet door frame would need to be cut down and the frame work is marked for this purpose. We had to cut ours down for a paneled wood door and it worked just fine.

Should work fine. Check the PetSafe website for exact dimensions, I think it will fit in doors and walls between 1" and 2" thick. If your storm door is thinner than 1" where you intend to mount it, you'll probably need to use some wood or extruded aluminum to build it up to a little more than 1" thickness to support the frame.

Yes John, I put mine on a storm door that has a aluminum outer core and foam inter core. I drilled 2 1/2" holes one upper one lower and used my jigsaw with a medal blade to cut the holes out. Hope this helps you out. Tim

can't be certain since I did not install in a storm door. Would assume it to work but depends on how strong the door is. Maybe a wooden frame needs to be installed together with the frame of the pet door to strengthen the set-up.

Probably not. This door requires all 4 corners to be snapped down to hold the screen in place. Your aluminum would add thickness to the screen.

It works on a hollow core door (where we put it); however, I bet it would work on an aluminium door. You may have to put caulking around it to make it more secure. I believe someone said it did in the customer reviews also.

Sorry, can't help. I use mine on a single aluminum door, and it works great!

If you have the classic then you would have to remove it from the storm door. This will allow you to get to the screws that hold the flap bar in place. You would remove one of the screws, then loosen the other a bit. This will allow you to pull out the flap bar, slide the old flap out, and slide the new flap in.

Hmmm I think so... I don't have a storm door however it is on a covered porch. Part of it is plastic so I suspect it will not be harmed by the elements, particularly since you have an awning.

I will say yes if this is the kind your storm door needs. I placed mine and went to Larson website and l check at Lowes too coping the numbers on the storm door

I would think if your door has one closer, not two, you should be fine. I have one of these on a wood storm door and another on an aluminum storm door, both with one closer and they work great.

It would work on a lightweight door such as a hollow core door. If it's hollow, you may need to reinforce around the bolt area.

Hey,I would not use this for a metal door. It's much more suited for wood and specifically moldings and wooden doors. I'd expect it to bend under the strength of a metal door,. For that I would choose one of those large rounded wrecking bars rather than a flat bar. I do like this bar a lot and would still recommend it for lighter residential use. Good luck!

If you mean the bottom half of your door is a solid piece of thin aluminum, I would think you could make it work providing you have the proper tools.

The protrusion from the door face is 3 1/4 in it should not hit the storm door handle with a standard 36 in bore for the lower hole.I have a storm door and It does not interfere

I used it on my aluminum gazebo when I had to drill holes in it, and it worked really good. Don't know if it works on all metals, but from what I have seen, it should work. I had to drill several holes, and it went right through without breaking. Hope this helps.

The herculiner label says it will, haven't used it on aluminum but I wouldn't hesitate to.

I used it for an EMCO storm door with a couple of washers (or shims) to account for the long screws.

Sorry, I don't know. You should cj=heck with the manufacturer. I have a set installed on an outside door but it's protected by a storm door and does not come in direct contact with the elements.

I've never installed one for a storm door but I cant see why not. id just make sure that there's enough clearance for your hand to operate the handle cause obviously it'll have to be installed on the inside of the door jam
