i'm told this won't fit in my aluminium screen doors because its too thick. How could I attach a piece across the door and ahere to alumimum? tape?

I really have no idea. I do know that if that application uses a spline, you will have to get one of smaller diameter to account for the thickness of the pet screening.

I had no problem using this in our screen door. It has an aluminum framed window. I used smaller spline. "Slide-Co #P 7630 25&apos;.120-1/8" Grey Spline" Of course this will depend on the size of spline in your door. your door. It was a challenge to get it pushed in to the door, due to the screen being stiff but, it came out great when it was done. If I remember right I pressed the screen in first with the round end of the spline tool. Our Pitt Bull has yet to tear this screen. He jumps against the door to be let in.

It is somewhat thicker than normal screening. That being said I used it to replace the screen in my sliding door. It took a bit of effort with a spline tool but it worked in my case. I was concerned it would be too thick, but decided if it didn't work I would trim it for a ripped window screen. Some people suggest using a thinner spline to make installation easier.

If you don't want to completely remove the aluminum screen and then replace it, you could try using hot-melt glue to attach the pet screening over it. I can't imagine it'll come out looking too good, though.

Our doors are 1 5/16" thick, and there is probably a 1/16" gap left. If your doors are biggerr than that, then you may have to look for an alternative.

I don't think it would work in a screen door. We had to make some adjustments for the installation in a wooden door.

You can't, you need to find a door made for the thickness of the door you have.

I don't see why not it just glues on around the openings all you just have to do is cut it to length. It really works well it's a very nice product it takes a little finesse to put on. Take your time doing it and plan a head I measured the width of the door material and taped off around the door opening about a half inch in.Then I applied the glue and smeared it around with my finger then I slowly removed the tape this gave me a nice clean edge so when I put the gasket on the glue didn't push out and look like a total mess. I am just a little anal about stuff like that it looks as though it were installed at the factory. P.S. don't push hard on the gasket when you apply it just make sure it is firm.

When you go to tape it, measure first, then find a place on the door to stick the tape closer together, it might make a small gap in the top but when it closes by the magnets it should be ok

As I recall, when I installed mine, the width was just right for a travel trailer door. It may not extend fully for the width of a standard sized house screen door. However, your local big box hardware store should have a what you're looking for at half the price. Good Luck.....

The specific cat door I purchased and the one in the picture I have been asked to review, is recommended for "thin doors and screens up to 1/2-inch thick." I installed it into a 1/2 thick screen porch wall...anything thicker, such as an interior wall or typical door would not work for this specific product. You need to get a cat door recommended for whatever thickness your wall or door is. I did not have to frame the opening...just cut out the hole and the door itself acted as the frame.

I would recommend buying pet screen to install the door in. It is much stronger screen.

Hi: If you need to cut the aluminum to get the pet door into the screen I do not think it will work. The pet door separates and you need to re-attach the two halves with the screen sandwiched between the two plastic pet door halves. To secure the two halves I needed to use a hammer and gently hammer the two parts of the pet door to get them to seat together. The aluminum would be too thick to sandwich between the two halves of the pet door. I suppose you could drill holes through the pet door and secure it with small bolts with the aluminum between the two halves but the pet door must be almost perfectly attached or the middle door will not swing correctly.

install a piece of 1'x1' flush with 3 screws flush with the door jamb. make sure the bars won't rub against it.

It attaches to the screen door FRAME, and doesn't replace the screen itself. In my opinion, its too thick (it's about an inch thick) unless you have a significant gap between the screen door and the regular doors. In my case I couldn't slide it open because it bumped into my other sliding door. May work fine if you have a swinging door though.

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.

this product is designed to be a snug press fit onto 3/8" thick glass...if your aluminum frame door is about 3/8" thick then it will work. if a bit too loose use some clear silicone sealant . if too tight,same product can be found in 1/2" size.

This is really just a standard 3m double sided adhesive that you have to cut to fit. It can be used with just about any screen that calls for tape adhesive.

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.

Yes, I did it and it works great. I have a vinyl screen door, I screwed it in the bottom corner. I had to move 1 vinyl support piece over to support the last top corner screw, used L brackets to do that. You can do it, just put your mind to it. Good luck!
