I love this product. It was difficult to find a patio door that fits well . I don't have to worry if the dogs are in it out .

This is for an extra-tall door, so make sure your sliding door is taller than average. The top piece is spring loaded so it gets put in place and then expands to fit snug. Your slider will only shut partway now, so you will have to fashion a dowel stop to keep it locked and secure from intruders since it will no longer lock normally! Hope this helps :)

The door has a spring loaded adjustment at the top of the unit. You hold it down while putting in place, then let go. It fits over the tracks that the slidder would normally use. To install, open glass slidder and screen door then install doggie door over the screen door tracks, up against door frame. Hold down the spring loaded top, slide into place then let go of the top. There are two knobs at he top to lock the door into place.

It just sits in the slider door. We had to buy the taller one as our door is not standard size. You cannot latch the sliding door with this in so we bought a bar to fit in the door. If we are going to be gone for any length of time we take this out and use the regular door. We found some nice white insulating tape in place of the black that came with it. It really looks nice. We are gone a lot and have two dogs who have to be able to go in and out.

It fits into the frame where your sliding glass door also resides. Your sliding door will no longer be able to close all of the way, it will rest up against this insert. We put additional weather stripping on the side of our door to make it "seal" better (some stripping comes with the door). Also, the locking latch on your door won't work anymore, so we use a large wooden dowel rod to "lock" the sliding door when we are away. It might sound like a pain, but we've been pretty happy with the door and how well it works for our dog.

The top of it has a retractable piece with springs so you can push it up and in pretty easily.

We mounted ours on the back side of the door not the side that we use all the time. This allows us to still lock the door as usual. We also secured the pet door & back sliding door so they cannot be moved.

As the opening for my sliding glass door was 96 inches, mine is located in my screen track rather than my door track. Where we live in California, this is generally optimal in that we would prefer the door open but the screen closed. The top of the dog door slides down a little allowing it to then release back up into the door track. As our door is deeper in the frame, the slide down did not go far enough for us to angle it into the door frame, but it was enough to get it in the screen frame. Once there the sliding section at the top can be tighted in place.

Put it in another residence but recall my space was exactly 36 inches as well. Something tells me it measures 36 1/4 tho but due to it's radius corners it allowed the fit.

Interior. Think of it like you are putting in an air conditioner in your window.

It will definitely fit in and probably with sufficient space left for a few more stuff.

I do not know. I have always used it as extra space for whatever will fit into it. I am sorry I cannot answer the question.

I would say it depends. There is definitely enough space, but the material is not extremely thick.

Yes,it fit good,you still have a little space to put all the little thing in.

Thank you. I've ordered it... and have space to keep it up most of the time. Appreciate your reply and information.

I don't really understand the question. The specs are in the ad. Just use a measure to see if it will fit in the space you have.

yes, so far it has held up nicely. It is a nice solution to a tight space with the storage option. I like it very much.

I don't understand exactly what your question is. If it will fit in it, it will fit under it.

Yes, it actually fits pretty well. There is no "wobble" or any real gaps that make an issue. However, I find that getting the connections to properly fit is such a hassle, that I hardly use it now.

It is fixed, but you get used to. However if you need to place in a space with limitation, then probably need to give a second thought.

Inside I believe. Its a fabric case though so the difference between inside and outside dimension is marginal. Especially since fabric can stretch a little bit

Yes, there's plenty of space. I uploaded a photo of my set up. Hope it's helpful!

Measure width and depth, always allow for a couple inches just to be sure it's not too tight a fit.

It fits inside the window so you can close the window in front of it. At least that is how I used it in a standard double hung window. Once it was installed it didn't come out until we moved.
