Can the center be cut down? my door is 19 inches.

The center bar is aluminum and should be very easily cut to fit a 19" door.

I can't remember if the end comes off, it seemed it did, if so it can be cut down to fit your door. We do like our Cross Bar, makes it so much easier to close the Screen door.

I'm not sure if the end will slide off or not. If it does it could be cut down.

The two ends simply slide over the center bar so, sure, it could be cut to any length. Just be careful to make a smooth cut so the end will still fit over easily. And don't cut it too short. This has worked great for our camper!

There is a 'fixed' insert that takes the opening (door width) down to 1 3/4 inches. I used two 'ice cream sticks' as shims to make up the difference and they work great.

I agree with John's answer, you can cut with out any spacers (just be careful) and this will give you a close cut.

I assume you are shortening the height. No, you can't take 2.5" off the bottom because there is metal hinge hardware that is 2" from the bottom of the door.

I just measured my doorway and 5" is right at the borderline. You could definitely rest it on the trim, but if you wanted to go above the trim, it might not clear it.

It will just squeak by. It will fit nicely when in but the glass doors, when open, make the opening exactly 19". The glass doors do go on last so you could always put the components in prior to.

The door height is 80" maximum with a spring held feature that allows adjustment down to about 77-5/8". I think cutting it to make it shorter would compromise its structure. You would be better off finding a shorter door.

Just looked at mine and it appears that it could be cut down. However, it could be risky. Remember that I said "it appears that it could be done" -- but there are no guarantee's.

Yes it can easily be cut. I cut mine using a hand saw. I taped the doors tightly marked and cut.

Probably not without major additional modifications to the door. When you cut out the hole, you'd be left with slats that wouldn't have anything supporting them in the middle. If there's a reason why you want to keep the louvered door, I'm sure a carpenter could modify it so that it had a solid piece at the bottom where the cat door would be, but otherwise it would be simpler and probably cheaper to just get a different door.

Yes, for the height. For the width you might have to remove panels or just leave it like it is if you don't require a 'smoothness' when the door is close.

The track is not adjustable if you want to change the distance from the wall. It would be a chore to cut the steel and make it look nice if you are talking about adjusting the length. I have more length than I need, I used a 24" door, but it looks nice. I used a regular door about 1 3/4". As long as it is not too thin so it would split when the screws are put in to hold the rolling mechanism or too thick that it would hit the wall. How thick are the wood panels you talking about?

Personally I would cut the already existing door opening to make it larger. It's easy to do with a jig saw. Hope this helps.

Only one inch up and down from the center. The doors can be opened left or right depending how you attach the hardware.

Yes, absolutely. Two ways: it is flexible enough to squeeze few inches or manual says you can cut it off.

not in the center but a foot from the side. I also drilled holes and inslalled screws and nuts on each corner of the door.

You can cut them to whatever height you want...I think they shipped at 96" and I cut them to 84" for my back screen door. My rear door was right around 6 feet and I could go larger. Just make sure to use a sharp razor because if they splinter the material just keeps fraying. Hope this helps!
