Do you install the door in the center of the screen or towards the side?

That's up to you really. I put mine in the bottom corner on the side with the door handle. It's probably easier on the corner as well I'm thinking.

You could install in either location but it'll be much easier in a side location. Consider that you're essentially sandwiching the screen between the plastic frame of the dog door so it's easier if you have access to hold or push both sides at the same time.

you can really install it anywhere you want, my door opens from right to left so I installed it in the very right corner as your looking outside. That way I can keep the door partially open if I want, just enough for the dogs to get in and out. Works like a charm.

not in the center but a foot from the side. I also drilled holes and inslalled screws and nuts on each corner of the door.

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 agree with everyone else that the corner near the opening is where you want to put it.

Very easy. The 1/2 inch tab gets pushed into the track on the side of the screen frame. The flap faces in toward the window. You will most likely need to trim to fit overall length of frame. It is recommended to leave a little long on the bottom to cover gap, but not too long to interfere with operation of door. I believe there are instructions with it.

If you have the netting attached, then no. You can only enter through the "door" on the side. If you do not attach the netting, then it will be perfect. (The screen on the one we purchased is one continuous piece that wraps around.)

Close to the center. Thinnest part of the door. Guess that is why they give you short screws. Good luck! You will like it.

The hinges are on the left when you look at the unit. So door opens on the right. Opposite the way far right door opens. :)

You can install it either way! One side is flat and one is more rounded. Just got mine and love it. Wayyy bigger than I anticipated but that's a good thing :)

I think anywhere within the arc of the screens should work. I try to aim for the center to prevent damage to the top, rods, or unit...common sense

For most houses the diagram will reference a position entering the house. A more accurate description is to say that you should stand so that the door is swinging away from you. This will cause you to stand on the side on which the door will be installed. Thank you, Hardware Sales

My installation was on/in a 6 panel door. I chose to go directly in the center of the door vs. to one side. My line of thinking was that it would create less of a problem by not getting the edge of the door to thin and possibly warping it in the future! You do notice a gap where the door panel(s) concave's, however, it is not enough so that it bothers the Mrs. or myself. Additionally, the center housing that "locks" everything together is designed in a way that the "gaps" or "concave areas" of the door are sealed. Hope this helps?

Anyone ever install infront (outside of house) of the sliding door. Where your sliding screen would be. This would allow your glass sliding door to shut as normal. I picture adding my own brush sweep along the vertical edge to help with air lose. Comments and pictures would be helpful.

one side is smaller than the other. i'd say it's a 2:3 ratio. you have the option of switching the two doors around.

When you put it together you can choose which side to put the entrance. I hope this helps. ~Tina~

I would say yes to exterior side of door or the side that you want it to be more visible. I have it on the inside of the window but we can also see it from the outside just as well. You will get a feel of the "texture" on the right side of the film. The other side is flat and smooth.

I find if you use the heavy screens the door is fine. If you want you can get the metal frame kit for the screens (the kit to make your own screen) and modify that so that is spans the width is the screen. A wood bar would be fine too if it does not interfere with the operation if the door.

Once the screen is open, turn it upside down and close "the door" so that the screen is visible (facing you).That's when you can attach the Xit.

Brad has the right idea, but when installing the door, install it towards the bottom of the barrel, leaving more of the barrel at the top to stop the smoke from coming out the door durning the burn. Mark a center line down the side of the barrel. This will serve as a reference point for center. You can see this on you tube.

What would you attach the middle side to if you're only putting on one 1/2 of the base cabinet?
