Would this work on the typical skinny aluminum garage doors? Someone recommended I should try those made for glass/ screen doors.

I think so. What I did was take out a single pane of glass and replace it with 1/8" thick Plexie glass, cutting the round hole, and mounting the unit on the Plexie.

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.

I ( think). This won't work on your door. It's been a long time since I've put mine in. You might want to go to store and measure one there or ask seller for dimensions

It depends on the strength of the spring on the screen door I'm using it on a exterior spring hinged door and it barely works. They work great for doors with no springs.

The screw is very small, as long as your door panel is around 1/2"thick it should work. My dad use to add a little soap after he pre-drilled a hole.

I mounted mine on an aluminum storm door. The bottom panel is only about 1/8th inch thick and it works great. As long as your panel is bigger than the door (14.5 wide x 17.5 tall) you shouldn't have any problem. I bought new bolts to length instead of cuttng them.

From my understanding this is more for glass. Supposedly if someone attempts to shatter a glass or hits strongly on the glass. I am not sure it would work on a regular door unless someone hit the door or garage door firmly.They have some just for doors by the same company.

In my experience i installed it on a thick glass door and worked perfectly. You just need to call a guy that has experience installing those kinds of locks and have an alternate power source for the lock in case the lights go out the door can still have the electromagnetic lock. Hope this helps

It would prevent the door from opening completely, but it's not designed for super thin doors. The gap is designed for doors over 1" in thickness. It does include a few small spacers (I don't recall the sizes) but they won't get small enough for a glass door. If you get creative with adding your own spacers, it may work.

Yes this door door does tighten up to that thickness. I used mine on some plexiglass and it worked fine.

Thanks for your question. It design and should work on 3/4 thick cabinet door.

The aluminium version should fit. Make sure height is correct for your sliding glass door.

This might help, but I would think, not by much. There are Styrofoam insulators available for garage doors that I think would be better served. They are generally available at places like Home Depot or Lowes.

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.

I don't know why they have those dimensions. You do get some extra length though. I would estimate the thickness as just over 1/2" at the thickest part. I'm sure it would work good, but don't make my mistake in thinking it could replace the rubber insert at the bottom of my garage doors-not thick enough for that.

Honestly im not sure. Our garage door is the Linear brand. You may want to see if you can find your brand. Good luck!

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.

Only works on metal doors that a magnet will stick to. See if a magnet will stick.There is a type that fits over the corners of the door, not sure where to find them.
