How exactly does it install? Does it sandwich the screen and the metal guard between the inner and outer two frames?

Correct. The pet door has an inside frame that clamps onto the outside frame, grabbing onto the screen guard and the screen in between. For better rigidity, I chose to mount the pet door frame not in the middle of the screen guard but toward the edge of it, keeping in mind where the bottom of the pet door is with respect to the bottom of your pet's torso.

It sandwiches the screen and the screen is cut out for the entrance. We put a screen door grate up prior and it's incredibly strong.

Yes, the brackets include the nuts and bolts to mount the screen to the brackets. I found it to be an easy installation. Just make sure the distance in the cutouts in the brackets line up with the mounting holes in the screen.

it is metal....comes with a removable plastic guard that snaps into place. I've had one for years and never used the guard though.

The screen goes in the outside and the lover (metal part) goes on the inside... Hope that helps and here to help you in any additional questions. I am happy with the product per my comment in spite of questionable quality. Just handle gingerly!!

there are "u" shaped metal frames that doors slide into and top and bottom metal rails. no frame on door sides but metal track top and bottom. very easy to install and clean. best i have ever had. two years into mine.

There's no installation parts at all. It just slips on and then there are Velcro strips that fasten to the frame.

It does have a metal frame around the window, but has not scratched my screen.

it does NOT directly fit.i did make it work, but i HAD to MODIFY the frame that holds the screen. i broke the frame in the process, and now have miniature bolts holding the screen frame hinge together. ***The modifications necessary to make this screen fit are NOT something a tinkerer should try*** i am an experienced technician, and even i made a mistake that almost ruined the screen backing.

It's a thin plastic sheet that you have to install on the screen..it is tricky to line up and install.

It attaches directly to the frame in 4 places with NO cutting or drilling. If you want to put your air dam back on you have to cut tiny slits in two places of the rubber to allow for the bottom of the grille guard. Took me about an hour to install on my 2011 F-150.

I added pieces if wood to the wall to mount the metal bar outside the window frame. I could not mount to frame as the frame is not flat. The wood also seems to make more secure and easier to open screen if needed.

Good morning. We use it for a similar situation, but did not try to adhere it to the glass. We hung the screen from grommets and had great success with that. The weight of the screen itself kept it smooth. Our area was enclosed and we did not have to worry about drafts or movement rippling the screen.

The aluminum edge of the screen housing is visible between the rubber seal and the case. There are two small 'clips' at the top that hold it on. Very secure.

It has a hard plastic screen. the problem was with the outer case expanding and not staying completely on.

Yes it's built in to the screen part. I ripped it out and put one of the cling on one's on though after time because it warped.
