Could this be used on a sliding door?

I don't think so. It has to have room to go over top of door. It would mess up the tracking.

it wont work on sliding doors. you would have to disconnect the straps to slide the door open.

I doubt it would work as-is. You would probably need to mount a cheap bracket on the ceiling to keep it from sliding. I'm sure it can be done quickly and very cheap.

I believe it would work on any door as it just slides on over the doorknob. It doesn't fasten down in any other way.

Thank you for the question! This door is adjustable for sliding doors 76 3/4 " to 81". For your measurement, you will want http://amzn.com/B005CV5IJU.

Probably, if it is not real flat the doors may not match up real good but the unit is so flexible that it will work anyway. Sometimes the slide roof is hard to push.

I honestly do not know? It would not work on my sliding door so I sold it and never installed it to find out.

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

While it may 'fit' in the opening, it will not be secure enough with the tension resting on the sliding door (the door on the one side will not be wide enough to hold the tension 'rings' on the end of the screws). I would not advise using this for a sliding door. They do make models that do fit sliding doors though - http://www.amazon.com/Cardinal-Gates-Lock-n-Block-Sliding-24-Inches/dp/B003TFEF3G/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1398872451&sr=8-2&keywords=Cardinal+Gates+Lock-N-Block+Sliding+Door+Gate - try that link.

Yes it can, just be sure to determine the appropriate positions for the adhesive sides before you attach them to the door lol

This is for an extra-tall door, so make sure your sliding door is taller than average. The top piece is spring loaded so it gets put in place and then expands to fit snug. Your slider will only shut partway now, so you will have to fashion a dowel stop to keep it locked and secure from intruders since it will no longer lock normally! Hope this helps :)

No. I used a stopper. You can use a stick or suction cup to stop the door from sliding.

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.

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.

Might be a little too lite for it. Without knowing the weight of the door or the amount of cycles, it would be hard to give you a definite answer. Sorry!

works well on single metal and wood doors. Not sure on patio sliding door. I always used a wooden or metal bar in the track.

I'm not sure about the sliding doors, but if you have roof rails this will also attach to those. When I attached to my car I went through front doors and the trunk, so maybe that will be an option for your van
