Are you able to install this in the solid part of a screen door or is bottom panel too thin?

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 don't think it would work in a screen door. We had to make some adjustments for the installation in a wooden door.

No. This door is installed by snapping the two separate halves together from each side of a screen.

I have installed mine in a 1/4 piece of plywood to insert in a sliding basement window when it is open. I haven't had any issues doing this so I would imagine that it can be customized to fit into material of any thickness.

Why do people answer with responses such as "not sure the min and max"? Well then perhaps you should not answer because that is exactly what people are trying to figure out. It's a amazing that there are five answers, none of which tell you if this might work on a thin screen door. Here is an actual answer you might find useful. According to the box, it fits doors 3/8" to 2" thick. However, I have the product and there is no way it will fit any door less than 1 1/16" thick. It cannot collapse any smaller than that, so I'm not really sure why they list 3/8". The 2" max seems reasonable.Hope this helps.

You can install it anywhere in your screen door, however, I think that closer to the side gives it more stability. I also like having it close to the side because then I can open my sliding glass door only the width of the pet door when I don't want to have the door open all the way.

I have my sliding screen door butted up against it and it would fine. You might have to adjust your screen door abit, to make sure that it lines up correctly.

No, the edge would not provide enough adhesive area. But if you embed a larger metal screen in epoxy and placed it underneath the hole and duct taped it up till it hardened and then filled the top until it was above flush with overlap of the edge it might work.

I do not know. I considered our door opening standard, but I could be wrong. The bottom line for your decision should be to recognize the screen requires the sides to velcros to the doorway. Mine can not. This is not the same item you "Seen on TV". Similar but definitely different. I would try an alternate choice.

Usually, you need to position and install it through peephole. But if you door frame is thin enough (like ~3 in), you can try to install in the door frame.

YES! The screen literally took 5 minutes to install and can be installed again without any problems since it's simply clicks the front into the back to secure itself on the screen, it can be removed easily if you needed to.The only issue is you must cut the hole for the door so you would never be able to use that screen again. This is definitely a great product &#9786;

I have checked the product description and reviews, and no where did I find any information about WHERE to mount the screen. Mine is mounted inside the frame of my 32 inch door. I would have to see a sliding door to answer accurately, but from what I remember the extension rod would fit inside the frame of the sliding door. I have rental property that has sliding doors, so will check and possibly add to this later. I clicked on "what did we miss?" in the product description and suggested more details of installation.

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 it's the kind security screen door that I think - yes. The security screen door that I had before was just like a normal door so, as long as that's the one you're intending to install, it's good to go.

Mine is flush with the wall. I don't see how you can install anything behind the screen if you are mounting it on the wall..

I attached mine to the bottom of the garage door. It seemed pointless to put it on the door frame! The screen goes up when the door goes up. Makes sense, no? ;)

No. Unfortunately I think you would end up with too any air bubbles and creases putting it on a panelled door. When I ordered it I had a particular position in mind for it but the door was panelled and when I saw it I thought better of it and put it on a flat door instead where it looks amazing. Cheers

My observation is that they are referring to THIN metal doors as in screen or storm doors. I installed mine in a metal exterior door; about 1 3/8 - 1 1/2 inches thick with no adapter and no problems. If this is the type of door you have you should have no problem either, just remember to use a fine tooth saw made for metal when you make the opening.
