Will it work for keeping a sliding glass door open a few inches for air flow and still keep intruders out?

Because it is plastic and attaches to the glass with adhesive, I wouldn't rely on this product for protection from intruders.

yes you can keep the door open about two inches. It is so easy to install and worked perfectly to keep my grandchildren out of the pool area.

I would say yes. But remember since it just sticks on the glass, if someone really wanted to get in they probably could slam the door really hard and it would come off of the glass. I use it to keep my toddler inside of my house. Not really for security purposes.

Yes. You select the location and install it. It's on the door glass permanently so you can not relocate it at a different time.Rusty S.

Yes it would, but if you wanted it to work with the door completely closed as well, you'd have to use two.

Only if you don't place it right next to the frame on the stationary glass. Wherever you place it on the stationary glass, that's as far as the sliding glass will open. Follow me? ( place it an inch or two away from the frame on the stattionary glass, and that way you can still slide the moving door open a crack). Hope that helps.

Yes, if you place it in the appropriate spot. You can stick it anywhere, which would allow it to open as much you'd like. FYI: Be careful with the little plastic piece you use to open it with, as it can break easily.

Sorry I can't really say except I do think would be a hindrance as it connects the slider to the stationary door quite firmly and we feel pretty secure with it. Do be sure to push the bar into its holder if YOU go outside as I've had the experience of not doing that and it fell down and kept me out quite successfully. Truth be told, easier for an intruder to just take a crowbar to a sliding door and bust it out if they wish.

No. It is only really any good for keeping a small child from opening a door. All it would do is slow them down a few seconds longer

It's perfect for a sliding glass door. I have it on mine. You will install it between the door jamb & the immovable door. Works great!

Yes, It will work, make sure your walls are plumb and the opening is square. the plastic door stop will cover the opening and you can get 1/16 of play with the hinge to glass connection

This is a entry door lock. I don't think it is designed for your application.

I use it in a sliding glass door. I never got an extender and do not see a problem. The unit still cools the room sufficiently even with the top half of the door open to the outside. I suppose it is not the most efficient, but if you are using it for a single room it will still get the job done.

I don't think so. It works on gravity and moves on a straight plane. Your door moves on an arc. You might consider the door or window type alarm, or even the motion detector HA434TL 3 1/2 h x 2 1/2 wide x 2 depth..It could sit inside in the back, and detect motion when the door was opened.

You would need to make something that would hold the top of the air conditioner and to cover the space above it. I don't think this would work in a sideway sliding window. You would need another smaller window glass frame or wood to hold it.

Yes, I put one in our sliding door from Pella we got from Lowe's. It's not the greatest fit, but it should keep out burglars just looking for an unlocked door.

Probably not your first line of defense. We have it on our doors so that our small child can't get out when sleep walking, and it works perfectly for that. There have been mornings that I've forgotten it was latched and given the door a strong tug and it was fine - but if someone wanted to break in I think they could use enough force to do so.

Well I used it to cover metal vents to stop noise from passing through and it stays stuck to that. I think if you did not try to stick anything too heavy it would work.

It should work great, I just tried it with 3 windows and a doorwall all open and you could still see it.

Since sliding doors design vary based upon manufacturer it's hard to accurately answer this request. However, if you can adhere both items of this product side by side - one being stationary, the other being the movable piece, then it will work just fine. In other words, when the sliding door is in the closed position, you must be able to install this product in such a way that when the door is opened, the two pieces "break contact" with one another thereby sounding the very loud and high-pitched alarm. Hope this helps.

I assume you mean with an open garage door? I should work fine, the lack of air movement will help it as wind (or a fan) will disperse the effectiveness. But it is a combustion device (small one) so I am sure using in a closed environment is not wise.

Denise, this unit may not be the best for you since there would be a need to find a device to block air from the top of the slider which comes with the unit to the top of your sliding door. Further, unless your living space is on the 2nd or 3rd floor and on a balcony it may not be safe to use the unit in that way. Hope this helps.

I don't think so. It will help keep the door in the closed position or return it to closed if opened.
