I don't know. I have mine sitting in my garage bec it didn't work on my door. The door opened out so the frame would have had to go inside the house. I couldn't send it back bec shipping was same as cost. If u live near nj, want to buy it? Melindareisner@gmail.com.

No they have to lock to the metal frame, and the bottom track is not very durable.

Not really, they use a closure system to keep them closed. You could rig up some sort of fastener for them, but it would be awkward. I think they make something for French doors, keep looking!

Yes, you need a left hand unit. The mechanism will take up about 2 inches on the hinge side. Hardly noticeable.

I needed one left and one right hand, so I just flipped door hinges. This was for 2 back to back bathrooms so the cabinets were not next to each other, because there is a slight difference in the look. almost a year ago so i dont remember if the came left or right hinge.

Our doors also open inward and we have used the screen on both the left and right side. I think the only thing that would be a problem is that the velcro strips that are attached to the sides of the screen to hold it against the frames are designed for the slit to be on the left opening, so they would be facing out if you reversed the screen for the right side. Otherwise, I think it would work fine but not be secured on the edges. I hope this is of some help.

The handle would be comfortable in any size hand. It can be used with either hand, but if you use it in the left, the LEDs will be shining right in your eyes.

The shield handle set up that comes with it actually is meant to be held in your left hand. (Its a pretty sucky handle set up anyway, so if you can manage your own set up i would go with that instead. I went to a friend of mine that does a materials shop class, so he had some pieces for a drill to re-drill the holes so that it would be meant for the right hand. Unfortunately the shield is basically made out of fiberglass, so it is pretty precarious to drill into and he told me he was lucky that the whole thing didn't crack. The shield is part without the decorative shapes is pretty thin too, so on one hole he actually drilled all the way through and I put putty on the inside and repainted the spot in order to fix it up again.

Its setup to open on the left but I'm sure you can configure it to open from the right but it will take some handy carpentry work.

It comes with 2 inside handles, so it will work for right or left handed door.

Yes, but I would highly advise going to the manufacturer's website before ordering online. They have the complete instructions available as well as videos of installation. I found it was very helpful and I was confident I was getting a product that would work for my specific door configuration. http://www.odl.com/FAQs_screens.htm

You can do it with one hand but it is a very cheaply made product that likely won't hold up long. We are very disappointed with the cheapness of the materials as they are a very lightweight plastic.

I am pretty sure it can be used on either a right hand or left hand opening door.

I find if you use the heavy screens the door is fine. If you want you can get the metal frame kit for the screens (the kit to make your own screen) and modify that so that is spans the width is the screen. A wood bar would be fine too if it does not interfere with the operation if the door.

Yes, the screen should come with the basic hardware for installation. You may need to provide your own hand tools or hardware for any adaptions you may make to your door. Thank you, Hardware Sales

They may not be. Other brands do sell left hand and right hand separately. I have bought the universal ones before and they might go on, but with a lot of work.

I mounted the handles, on the bottom of the doors, as per the instructions. I did measure the distance, from the top of the door to the hinge and from the bottom of the door to the hinge, and they are the same. If you wanted to flip the doors, and put the righthand door on the lefthand side, I see no reason why you couldn't. My cabinet fit together nicely, with no issues. Hope this helps.

I wouldn't think so Jon unless you had a guy build a frame around the piece of glass you just took out. That would work. You need a frame to attach both sides too!

I use mine on French doors that swing in as well. I just swing the doors in as far as they'll go, then put the bar inside the door frame and it works great! (Obviously you have to take it down to close the doors). Let me know if you need to know anything else. BTW I love this screen!
