Does it work on window that slide sideways open and closed?

Not very well. It will only stay in place when the window is closed; and it is difficult (at least on my one window) to close the window past the tags that secure the shelf.

It will work if you want to only roll them in one direction, however the 530 will work for two windows up and down and is more appropriate for the install you are talking about

Yes -- sliding door & windows. This item will allow you to be forewarned while you're in the house.

Yes- the way it mounts doesn't change. You may have to get creative depending on your window design but I have them mounted vertically and horizontally with no problem.

It works on the inside of the window. I have sliding windows and it works great. I don't know about your double hung windows.

If the tape is used to seal the area where the window slides up and down, the answer is no. The tape sealing this part of the window would not allow the window to open.

If the window vibrates it goes off, so I'd say yes. We have ours on a sliding door.

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.

No, it actually slides into a track on the window. There is a thin hard plastic film that slides into the track and the fuzzy part sticks out.

No. I would recommend one that's a little heavier. If you keep window closed then yes.

I used it last summer in a horizontal window (slides l/r). I used a piece of wood to hold the sliding side firm against the a/c, and a thin sheet of opaque Plexiglas over the top. A mount was installed to support from the bottom. I filled any open spaces that remained with double-sided adhesive weather stripping. The sliders are only for regular (up/down) type windows, save them for if you ever need them (my landlord changed our windows from slide to regular this summer).

It worked on our town & country passenger sliding door. It said it would work both sides. I found a video on Youtube.com showing the instillation. The only trouble I had was getting the part hooked onto the door. The opening is very tight. I did get it done & it works. Hope this helps.

Yes, I had mine done in less than 5". Instruction are basically the same for either type of sliding window.UPDATED 5/11/2015: This will work in a casement/crank window with a little ingenuity, please see my review on how others solved this problem.

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, and it works on triple panes also. I have several large windows (7x9 FT) and many large sliding doors. Small windows (2x3 FT) I do by hand.

Yes. I think that is what it is specifically designed for. You just put it on the track above the lower window the distance you want the window open.

It actually slides open instead of pulling it open. It took us a bit to figure it out too!
