is this just for windows that open up and close down or can you use it for a sliding window?

We glued & stapled several together, top of each other to make a 40" which works fine.

They would work best in windows that move up & down; the louvers keep rain from coming in during storms, but if that's not an issue, I see no reason they can't be used in windows that open sideways - providing the length is good. Lin D.

Although the screen is pretty tight when you open it I don't know if I would use it for a sliding window. It may not stay in place when extended. I would look for a screen made specifically for a sliding window. It really is a great screen and it does keep the rain out. I use them in my attic windows so I can get some air circulating and I don't have to worry about closing the windows if it is raining.

Our windows are sliders too. It works fine, but is a 2 person job with one to hold the slots in place and one to tape. This is the second year that we have had this air conditioner and it works like a charm and is quiet to boot.

Should work for both. But depending on the size of your slider, you may have to block some opening.

We have ours in our side-sliding window. It IS possible to install it that way, but you will need to reinforce it if you're concerned about security or stability issues. Also, the panel that's included for top sliding windows may or may not work -we had to custom cut a piece of plastic to fit and drilled it into the window frame.

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

No. It is meant to slide into grooves. Not too difficult once the window sash is removed from the frame.

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!

Its more for windows, it has a suction cup to attach. I guess you could come up with a way to attach if you wanted.

It should work great, I just tried it with 3 windows and a doorwall all open and you could still see it.

I have mine installed in a double hung window I do not see how it would work in a side slider installation

I am not at the location where the aluminum sliding hardware was installed. I installed it on three different types of aluminum windows without running into any problems. I used the hardware on windows only.

One side of the "lock" is adhesive so it sticks to glass. The other side can flip either up or down. If it is flipped down you can open and close your door or window. If it is flipped up it prevents the window or door from sliding open.

Yes . . . It's designed for a swinging gate or door and will NOT work on a sliding door. Perfect for a pool area door.

Yes that's the type of windows I have...just screw them on the left or right side and it will prevent the window from going up.

I wouldn't use this particular switch on a sliding door. The reason is because it is spring-loaded, and it is likely that it would just push your sliding door open rather than keep the switch in the "off" position.

If you have double-hung windows, the kind that slides up and down, it will work with the window open or closed. If you have sideways sliding windows or those with a crank that open to the outside it will only work when the window is open but not when it is closed as the track is not wide enough to accommodate the hooks and the window itself. In that case you are better off just to put a small table or anything else that is flat on top like a dresser in front of the window for the cat to sit or sleep on. You might also want to pad the feet some more as they tend to scratch the wall.

Hi, I don't think so. The window will still have an opening that would let the hot air back in. Sliding windows works best. This model is good it pushes cold air out from the front not the top. The models that push cold air out from the top through the air up towards the ceiling. Thank you
