CAN THE SCREEN BE TRIMMED TOP FIT A SMALLER OPENING? My screen door opening is 32x76.

We had to fold each side over to make it fit ours; we didn't cut it. Works really well.

Yes it can be trimmed. Some have cut to desired size used sewing machine to relocate the Velcro liners. I simply cut the screen to desired size for my RV door and used Gorilla tape reattach the Velcro.

Your door opening is too wide for this screen. Is this a sliding door ? What is the measurement of the opening?

It sounds like it would be a little too small for your opening. The screen measurements are 36"x 83", but this is the total size, including an edges that are secured with the velcro. Because they are secured flat against the frame it takes up about an inch on each side. Once all the edges are secured, it fits doors up to 34" x 82" While it works on some of our doors, something I am considering in the future is to frame up a small screened area outside my front door and making the opening to accommodate this screen so I can step out my front door without getting accosted by bugs and critters.

measure it first you might have to do some trimming just to get over the screen and not the other parts

I think so since I had to trim both the length and width to fit my screen door. I can not say for sure it is 7 feet long, but it worked well.

It certainly will not. It wouldn't even fit the 7 inch screen I bought it for.

The top of the screen is "joined" in the middle. You might be able to snip that tiny joined piece, making it in effect two "curtains" which you could slide to the jambs (provided the curtain rod you use is thin enough to allow some room in there).

don't know, just measure the screen area that's flat and use the appropriate size.

it does NOT directly fit.i did make it work, but i HAD to MODIFY the frame that holds the screen. i broke the frame in the process, and now have miniature bolts holding the screen frame hinge together. ***The modifications necessary to make this screen fit are NOT something a tinkerer should try*** i am an experienced technician, and even i made a mistake that almost ruined the screen backing.

If you're asking can it be cut down, yes, I cut one down to fit a 32 inch door.

YES! I needed to trim the bottom of the case to widen the opening. It works fine.

If you are installing this on the lower level of a screen door and the lower area has metal, yes it fits. We did it. You need to read the instructions. The door has three sizes it can connect to: The first is leaving all the parts as is. The smallest is a screen door. For that application the side that has the extended depth to it, you cut off. Its all in the instructions.

I don't have the same setup as you, however I would guess that it wouldn't be a problem. The mounting brackets are quite narrow and do not extend much if any beyond the screen door frame. Also, the bar/handle sits about a 1.5-2 inches off the door itself.

If you mean a screen door, I would say no. It is meant to install in a regular wood door and you have to cut out the hole.

Maybe. I installed the door on an thin aluminum panel. I had to cut wood 3/4 x 1" pieces glued around the parimiter on the inside then the inside and outside are screwed together. Don't cut the hole to big tho. Hopefully the scren is tight. Fabric screen may be diffichlt.Good luck.

I modified my threshold 1/2 inch to lower the screen door. This accomplished not having the bottom strip of the door on top of the threshold causing a possible tripping situation. After that everything worked perfectly and we love the door.Baron McClair
