Could this be installed in the doorway of a sliding glass door on a track?

I think it could. There are rubberish nubs at the ends (two on each end) which would probably help keep it from being pulled or pushed. I would measure the width of your opening to make sure, and ensure you have a few inches of left over for the tensioner to provide tension. Hope this helps!

In my opinion YES, it will prevent that. It is double bolted and secured to the side framing of the door. With a past in public safety, I researched this quite a bit because in our new home we can not use a simple pin to secure the door over and above the cheap latches that come on sliding doors. When I researched this type of lock and passed it around a few police friends we were all in agreement that this would ultimately keep the door attached and unable to be removed from the tracks as normal access with a crow bar or heavy screw driver would allow. I highly recommend it.

I think you could make it work for that, but not "off the shelf". You would have to attach a bracket of some sort to the inside of the sliding part of the door, near the outside edge. It's difficult to explain, but if you look at the product photo, you can see that the end of the bar butts up to the door frame. You would need something on the door for the bar to butt up to. Maybe a piece of aluminum "L". I think a clever handyman could make this work.

Not sure. I guess the tension rod could go between the door jamb where the slide opening is and the top of the door of the non-sliding part. Or, you could try using some alternate method (Velcro or little tack-nails?) to mount it to the outside jamb.

Yes it does, You can use it in a sliding door or any size window it's adjustable

It is possible . If your were to place on the inside end of the door where the two overlap you could use the lock to catch the track. I wish there were a way to send you a diagram because i'm sure that doesn't help. Yes, it can be done simply but it depends on the depth of your door. The lock itself is great, I have two turning a closet into a gun cabinet. If the question is will it lock in place, YES; very securely.

If you mean sliding glass doors or windows that slide sideways, then, yes, the adapter included with our unit would fit. It's a long panel and infinitely adjustable.

Yes, there are two (2) sliding sections that can be installed whereby they can be positioned as two (2) halves or adjusted where you can have a larger opening depending on your door size.

The screen attaches to the where it will be placed by adhesive backed velcro. As long as you have a flt surface to attach it to it will work fine. Be sure to note that in the measurements: the screen is 35 inches and if your opening is also 35 inches it will be too short. Part of the screen width is a boarder that must overlap to the edge where it will be mounted. I was able to successfully attach it to the sliding glass door after repositioning it to the velcro a few times.

I used it on the track only for a pair of sliding doors. Not necessary to use on both sides.

I don't believe so. The way it works is that it prevents the middle of the accordion door from folding out. The shower door slides, so my guess is that it will just slide along with it. You can try a thin plastic rod (like a curtain pull) just the right length to put in the track. This wouldn't let the door open. People do that with metal rods in double sliding doors going outdoors to prevent burglars from breaking in. Hope this helps.

We have ours installed in our sliding glass door. It is double sided taped to the edge and we use our door constantly so I would say yes.

Yes, I would think you could. The doors don't interfere with the slide out tray unless they are closed.

Yes, but it depends on the thickness of your door. The plastic piece is somewhat flexible.

No. The bar simply keeps the operable door panel from sliding open (keeps door from sliding down the track).

Being that this lock is made for doors with a slide-bar on both sides that lock into slots in the track I don't see how this would work. I just replaced my old door with a new one and now have the same side slide you have and it doesn't look like this lock is compatible.

Yes, you would have to hack saw the top track. The only problem would be that the door would not close properly at the top due to the zig zag design!
