Can this be installed on a heavy commercial aluminum and glass door?

Yes it can, however it will require from you to have the proper tools to make the additional holes on the door for the installation.

I installed it on a heavy commercial aluminum. This won't fit on a regular glass door - for that there's a slimmer model that will (DL models I think).

The aluminium version should fit. Make sure height is correct for your sliding glass door.

Probably not heavyweight enough. Maybe if you can do one at the top and bottom and the door is not too heavy

I'm not sure how you could use this on a double glass door unless you can mount it on the top of the door way at each doorway. The doors would have to swing out from the unit with the magnet attached to the door and the unit on the frame of the door way?

YES, These doors feature a heavy-duty aluminum construction and shatter-resistant, tempered safety glass. They're also equipped with the energy-conserving ultraseal flexible flap system designed to keep the heat and cold outdoors.

I have been using this on my 20 foot aluminum door for almost a year with no problems !

We use it for our double metal garage door with the 4 slot type windows at top. We have the old original heavy metal double door from 1980; not sure how much it weighs.

Yes..but you must drill tiny holes in your sliding door frame. If you live where you do not want to do that...you could put a 2x4 in the door frame on the left, so no one could slide your glass door. I did that..because it feels even more secure.That is just my own opinion. Watch a couple of You Tube videos online that show installation process, and it will help you decide if it is what you want. Hope this helps. I love these doors. I used to have one for my dog..and now I use it so my indoor cat can go out on the porch.

In my experience i installed it on a thick glass door and worked perfectly. You just need to call a guy that has experience installing those kinds of locks and have an alternate power source for the lock in case the lights go out the door can still have the electromagnetic lock. Hope this helps

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.

Yes. You select the location and install it. It's on the door glass permanently so you can not relocate it at a different time.Rusty S.

It might, but my system took 5/8" shelving and that's pretty thick for glass - and pretty heavy. Not sure if they make a system for thinner glass.

I would say you could probably install this on a 2 or 3 foot door with no problem. Mine is installed on a 4 foot door.

I'm not sure. I have mine on a regular door with a brutal B-ready, and it works great! I was afraid it was going to be too heavy or not be sturdy, but I was very impressed!

I expect it will work. It should be strong enough and I have found it to be highly resistant to heat. One cautionary note: If there is any coating on the glass such as a tinting material, the adhesive will likely damage it when it is removed. Should be no problem on bare glass, aluminum, or the like.

I guess it depends on what your door is made of, and how thick it is. But I think you could safely install this on a standard wooden door.

I used it on my aluminum door and it worked well and has continued to do so
