As long as there is moulding on one side it'll work, if there is no moulding on either side the product will just slide down and will not work.

depends on the material your door is made of, quite a few doors are made of materials that do not take well to planning. If your door is solid wood oak,maple, walnut it will do the job "MAYBE". The drive gears in this thing are plastic, YES, I said plastic, if you try to go a little fast you wind up with a broken tool and a gouged door. Try to take a bigger bite out of the thing,. you wind up with a broken tool and a gouged door. If you wish to use an electric plane. I would recommend a different manufactor

You can make it work on a panel door. That is what we have it on. It takes a little more care and effort in applying it but it can be done. Just be sure to start smoothing from the center out and just barely skim over the indented parts of the door

Our step into our front door, the part between the door and the porch was plastic piece that looked like wood. It had broke a few times and we had it all glued up. It looked horrible. I put this over that and it hasn't moved, shifted or anything. It has been there for almost a year. No problem, no issues. I think it will work for you.

The screw is very small, as long as your door panel is around 1/2"thick it should work. My dad use to add a little soap after he pre-drilled a hole.

I think so too. My door is a thin piece of plywood, maybe 1/8th inch thick. If not you could probably stuff it with something to keep it from being loose. I am pretty sure it would look okay.

I would think so since you can slide it up and down the bottom of the door to where you would need it to be I too have molding beneath my door and it works fine for me..

It fit my door perfectly without drilling any holes. I did have to make the hole in the door jam deeper. If the dead bolt hit the back of the hole it would retract and not lock.

I didn't read my response before I sent it. Sorry. My friend had to replace his door and used the part on the new door. He had the old door hinge break off and the old door could not be reused. I hope this makes more since.

A normal door will work but if you have a thicker door it comes with extra screws to adapt to the size

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.

could be. remove it and see if the door will close. if it does you may not have assemble it correctly.

Check out YouTube for video instructions. A putty knife will loosen the liner and the interior frame granting access to the door screws.

it will stay ,i had to cut mine also .it did not actually fit my door so i had to trim the entire strip to fit where it slides in ,(that was just my door ) i then used clear silacone to make sure it did not slide ,u can also hammer the ends to stop slipping without any effect on door

If you mean the bottom half of your door is a solid piece of thin aluminum, I would think you could make it work providing you have the proper tools.

The part that touches the door is a soft rubber-like material. It should not damage your doors.

My front door is the same situation that the door is approximately an inch and a quarter set back than the front of the moulding and I was still able to utilize it it has scuffed the side of he fiberglass door a bit but it is unnoticeable when closed. And the peace of mind of using them outweighs the slight blemish in the door now.
