Can this alarm be installed on sliding doors?

I don't see why not. I use them for my windows (sliding) and they work fine.

Since sliding doors design vary based upon manufacturer it's hard to accurately answer this request. However, if you can adhere both items of this product side by side - one being stationary, the other being the movable piece, then it will work just fine. In other words, when the sliding door is in the closed position, you must be able to install this product in such a way that when the door is opened, the two pieces "break contact" with one another thereby sounding the very loud and high-pitched alarm. Hope this helps.

I do not believe it will. It needs something to extend down against. However, even with that, i.e., hanging it on the sliding door side, the little shelves are not stationary and do not touch the door as a brace, so they hang down. Seriously, would not waste my money on it. Poorly made, not engineered well. Definitely not a "one size fits all" design.

No, what comes in the box is one panel in two pieces. The two pieces are easily assembled into one tall panel that fits between your sliding door and the wall. Which means your sliding door is not replaced, but rather open just enough for the panel to fit in place. You then "lock" the panel in place with thumb screws and secure your slider with either the included lock or a board of some sort (your choice). The picture shown is the top half of the panel (left) and the bottom half of the panel (right).

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

Yes. A lock is included that locks your sliding door to the panel which is fixed in place by screws.

The contact could only be mounted to one door which would leave the other with no alarm. Unless, you mounted the the whole alarm unit. To one door and the contact to the other door. That wouldn't look good.

Yes! You really want to get a sliding door edge pull and a Set of sliding door flush pulls as well . Install the flush pull above or below the receiving end of the lock

Yes. If you slide the button the button on it's side, you can turn it off before you open the door, or change it from alarm to an entry chime.

This is not real security system. Yes, You can install it. But you need to close the door all the time. Once someone open the door certain amount of time alarm will disarm (Sound come out). Once you close back the door alarm will arm.

Denise, this unit may not be the best for you since there would be a need to find a device to block air from the top of the slider which comes with the unit to the top of your sliding door. Further, unless your living space is on the 2nd or 3rd floor and on a balcony it may not be safe to use the unit in that way. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry, this door is not meant to be used with a sliding glass door and is not made to work in tandom with a second screen without a specialized kit which is no longer made. The door uses a latch instead of a magnet.Thank you,Hardware Sales

I don't think so but if someone is trying to open your gas door I would put a door switch there so when they open it the alarm will sound.

This unit is set up to use on a swinging gate, I don't think there would be any way to use it on a sliding gate as the throw on the arm would be way to short to open anything more than about a 3 foot gate.

Yes, the slide swich to change from alarm to chime is easy to find location and can be actuated after installing. A curious child may tamper it.

Yes it will work on an out-swinging door. Loop the cord around the door knob and slide the trigger between the door and the jamb, or place the alarm on the floor and the trigger between the bottom of the door and the floor.

I would think so. As soon as the door knob is disturbed, the alarm goes off. I don't think it matters which side of the door you place the alarm. I hope this helps.

Yes it will work. But you need to be a till handy person to do it. We installed on a wooden sliding door of the same thickness
