How do you install this in sliding patio door? Horizontal or vertical? Is it effective?

Horizontal. We have had them for years, had to replace one as it broke. Sticks on to the glass and is very hard to come off. Sliding door doesn't go past where Burglabar is placed. Very effective!

It is a single slide width. Sliding doors have two slides.our doors slides are too wide apart. however if installed on fixed end of patiodoor, which means taking door apart, the screen would work, opening would not be as big.

No idea!!! Sorry... I've only installed it horizontally and I'm no longer at the house where I installed it to even check for you... sorry again. For more information you can check with the manufacturer: http://www.brinno.com/html/PHV1325.html

Yes you can install horizontally. You have to adjust wire . And make sure first you check on wall to cover the empty wall hole. Basically design for vertical wall hole.

Yes, that is the best way to install is vertical. You can see dimensions on our website. afwfilters

Suggest putting the room on inside out, so that the flaps roll up on the outside. That way when it rains, it will not come in to your patio room. Also, use the awning straps. It will help in the strong winds.

That is the most ideal way. Water entering on the bottom and exiting on top. However, I know may installers that have use it horizontally with good results. The biggest factor would be actual flow rates being treated.

Yes I installed it horizontally and it works just fine. In fact, its safer to install horizontally because you dont risk being locked out of the house when you slam the door close and the lock accidentally come down and locks you out!

The directions say either way but vertical is best . That's the way I installed it and it went very well . Very happy with light .

I Belive you need to mound vertical on a wall for it to work properly. Horizontal I do not think is an option because you can't walk on it and they're would be no convection effect.

Yes. I installed mine vertically. Holds fairly tight. Just have to make sure the window is closed tight enough to hold it.

It has been a few years since I installed them (2),however I believe they are designed to go both ways with slightinstall steps for each direction.They worked very well and each door had a different slide direction and I do not rememberany issues putting them in.I have sold the house they were installed in,in 2013.

Mine is mounted with the slats running horizontal in the greenhouse. I didn't try turning it vertical so I don't know. We're having 90* weather and it hasn't failed me yet...

Yes. That is how I use it. It has two gates, one for vertical and one for horizontal.

I believe, Kristin C., that it needs to be installed vertically. To install it horizontally would mean the plungers that hit the cylinders to make the "ding-dong" sound would probablymisfunction because they would be going up and down instead of back and forth.

It's perfect for a sliding glass door. I have it on mine. You will install it between the door jamb & the immovable door. Works great!

This bar is fixed to the door frame and props against the farthest (and innnermost) moving door. If you are going to slide to the other side, the bar will then be on the "wrong side." In that context it may not work -- assuming my understanding of your description is correct.
