the bottom half of my screen door is thin aluminum, would this work for it as well?

No it wouldn't work, The product is designed to snap directly onto the screen with the screen cut away in the opening. The problem is that it does not attach well & puts strain on the surrounding screen. I have had to replace the screening on my lanai 3 times as a result and ultimately decided the product was not worth the hastle.

I would not do it. You would have to drill holes every inch so that you won't have gaps to allow bugs to get in. This frame is plastic and isn't made for this type of door.

I wouldn't think so as the dog door frame is 2 peices which basically sandwich the screen between them in order to seel. It wouldn't be strong enough to sandwich the aluminum. That's not to say you couldn't find a work-around ... like cutting the aluminum as if it were screen but then screwing holes (I'd suggest each corner plus the center of each side for 8 altogether) through the frame and aluminum to create the "seel". Good luck.

You would need to drill some holes in the plastic perimeter but you could make it work...Jeff

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.

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.

Hi: If you need to cut the aluminum to get the pet door into the screen I do not think it will work. The pet door separates and you need to re-attach the two halves with the screen sandwiched between the two plastic pet door halves. To secure the two halves I needed to use a hammer and gently hammer the two parts of the pet door to get them to seat together. The aluminum would be too thick to sandwich between the two halves of the pet door. I suppose you could drill holes through the pet door and secure it with small bolts with the aluminum between the two halves but the pet door must be almost perfectly attached or the middle door will not swing correctly.

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

I think it would work. My screen is 14" and this is a tiny, tiny bit bigger, so I had to cut it down a tiny bit, but it fits.

I'm sorry, this door is not meant to be used with a sliding glass door and is not made to work in tandom with a second screen without a specialized kit which is no longer made. The door uses a latch instead of a magnet.Thank you,Hardware Sales

It wouldn't work on a screen door. We don't have storm doors in California so I don't know. It would depend on the thickness of the door.

Also consider the way our door opens. You want the screen on the same side as the hinges of the door so it is not in your way .

This slides into the channel on the aluminum sliding screen door. Most of these channels are the same size but you want to confirm this fits your channel.

Yes - but you might have to fold the screen over at the top to shorten it. They work very well. I installed this French door screen for a 97 year old man, who has no trouble going in/out his one-side-only-opened doors.

Only if it's attaching to something 1/2" thick all the way around the cat door.... i.e. no screen...but, yes, I installed it on a solid bottom paneled aluminum screen door.

I would recommend buying pet screen to install the door in. It is much stronger screen.

Yes, I did it and it works great. I have a vinyl screen door, I screwed it in the bottom corner. I had to move 1 vinyl support piece over to support the last top corner screw, used L brackets to do that. You can do it, just put your mind to it. Good luck!

Maybe. I installed the door on an thin aluminum panel. I had to cut wood 3/4 x 1" pieces glued around the parimiter on the inside then the inside and outside are screwed together. Don't cut the hole to big tho. Hopefully the scren is tight. Fabric screen may be diffichlt.Good luck.

I measured the frame and it is 2 1/4 inches deep. I really don't think it could work on a screen door panel.

I have mounted it head up and it just clears the glass panel in my screen door. It is very attractive. I hope it works for you.

I find if you use the heavy screens the door is fine. If you want you can get the metal frame kit for the screens (the kit to make your own screen) and modify that so that is spans the width is the screen. A wood bar would be fine too if it does not interfere with the operation if the door.

this product is designed to be a snug press fit onto 3/8" thick glass...if your aluminum frame door is about 3/8" thick then it will work. if a bit too loose use some clear silicone sealant . if too tight,same product can be found in 1/2" size.

Should not be a problem. This unit is very simple. The one decision you will have to make is to mount the screen on the inside of the existing door frame or outside the frame (on the face). Mine worked best on the outside but it works well either way.
