Can this be installed in an aluminum screen/storm door?

I agree with other contact, the frame of the door is the same thinkness as a standard door. You could check with the manufacturer, they have great customer service, to see if they have a modifier that might allow it to work, great door, gets a lot of use with my 3 dogs.

it is a dense door system. i think an aluminum door might be a little light

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 put the screen on the outside, though I would think you could do it either way according to preference. If you don't have a storm window screen on the outside of your window, then I would put the screen on the outside (bugs, you know). Either way, be sure the vents are angled downward not upward in the window.

Our door is an outside thick metal door, not a screen or storm door. Did not work.

I used installed it on my exterior storm door. Not sure if that's what you are asking though.

The protrusion from the door face is 3 1/4 in it should not hit the storm door handle with a standard 36 in bore for the lower hole.I have a storm door and It does not interfere

My observation is that they are referring to THIN metal doors as in screen or storm doors. I installed mine in a metal exterior door; about 1 3/8 - 1 1/2 inches thick with no adapter and no problems. If this is the type of door you have you should have no problem either, just remember to use a fine tooth saw made for metal when you make the opening.

I used this on a standard screen/storm door and it worked fine, I don't remember the backset. But if you can find what a standard screen door has it should apply.

I bought this door a year ago for my cat and it is installed in a storm door that has a single layer of sheet metal in the bottom and works great. Hope this helps.

guess that would depend on the size of the screen door. It's really light weight but very strong. You can't really cut it down so if its too large you'd really have to do some cutting on "thick" plastic. wish i could put a pic of mine on here. show you how I Gerryrigged mine. Hope that answered your question

No, the edge would not provide enough adhesive area. But if you embed a larger metal screen in epoxy and placed it underneath the hole and duct taped it up till it hardened and then filled the top until it was above flush with overlap of the edge it might work.

I would say no. It's designed to fit an opening that is at least 1 inch thick. Unless it's a pretty thick screen, I would advise against it.

I suppose if you can frame out a part of the screen with wood to hold the frame of the pet door. But if your screen has an aluminum frame it might be difficult. Ask someone who sells or makes the kind of screen you are talking about.

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.

I installed it on a heavy commercial aluminum. This won't fit on a regular glass door - for that there's a slimmer model that will (DL models I think).

Hmmm I think so... I don't have a storm door however it is on a covered porch. Part of it is plastic so I suspect it will not be harmed by the elements, particularly since you have an awning.

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.
