Can this alarm be used on sliding glass doors?

It's basically a pair of magnets. As long as you position them so they are together when the door is closed, and apart when opened, it will work.

I don't see why not. You would stick one part on the door frame and the other part on the moving part of the door, and when the door is opened the alarm should sound. The alarm is triggered when the two pieces separate.

yes I purchased a pair of them and use them both on my sliding glass doors work perfectly

I bought it for my aunt and uncle from Amazon and had it shipped to their home in SC so I have no idea but it's cheap enough that if it doesn't work you haven't lost that much money.

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!

Hi Zulma Christian, I didn't use them so much for my sliding glass door. I used them for my windows and LOVED THEM! Once in place... They are in place. I can imagine they would work out well for sliding glass doors depending how thick the walls of the track are. Take care in this - though these little gems work well all slide locks will leave marks where they have been installed. It the nature of the beast. I suppose you can slide a thin piece of wood or ??? But these are screws you are putting in place to hold your windows and doors in place. The rubber after the first or second time of usage will not be the buffer you dreamed it would be... removing it an finding a thin hard piece of plastic might be the trick. Otherwise it will put holes in the aluminum. So, Step 1 - Close your Door or Window. Step 2 - Place Black rubber piece over the aluminum track and slide it against the door or window firmly. Step 3 - Remove thumb screws and place aluminum cover over the black rubber piece... you might need to press down hard or tap into place. Step 4 - Screw thumb screws into place until secure so the slide lock doesn't move. You may need to use a pair of pliers. SIDE NOTE: It is best to use to a lock on both the top and the bottom... &lt;Note from manufacture.&gt; I hope this was of some use and good luck... Much better than using a piece of board in the bottom of your door. I did that and all that happened is they pushed it hard enough so the top opened enough that they could get in... I'm guessing why the manufacture suggest using a lock on both the top and the bottom. :)

I doubt it very much. I have one of mine on the glass IN the door (the glass is about 2' square) and it does go off once in a while for a sharp knock. I use the HI sensitivity setting, not the LOW. I turn mine off when I'm expecting a visitor. In my case, I want to know if somebody is messing with the door. Great peace of mind at night.

I don't think so. It's wide enough to obstruct the sliding door from opening. I wouldn't try it.

Yes, if your doors are glass and not plastic. The company specifically recommends it on their website.

Yes like I said before it will work on any door or window. The easy way to do a sliding door is put it sideways to the way that you would with the window

I wouldnt be sure about that. All my three movment sensors are in the same floor the only way to know would be trying. Sensors are infra-red so no objects as wins moved courtains trigger the alarm. A living animal like your pet will butvyou can desable areas where they move. I have two alarms conected to the main unit (wireless) and believe me the noise would frighten any intruder.

Contact sensors require movement of window frames (i.e., separation) to work. Most likely that anyone who breaks glass would then moves frames rather than break out all the glass to effect entry, but if you're worried about that you can supplement contact sensors with interior motion sensors and even glass-break sensors. I've tried motion sensors--they work well. Haven't tried glass break sensors.

I don't think so but if someone is trying to open your gas door I would put a door switch there so when they open it the alarm will sound.

This would not work for a sliding or pocket door. I'm not familiar with other models. Good luck!

I'd use a sound-activated glass break detector in conjunction with a magnetic switch to detect if the door is opened without breaking the glass.

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.

Yes. The door is bolted into one side, then your origional sliding glass door locks into it. Even though you are able to lock your door into the pet door, I would still add an additional lock on the track for night time, or when you are away from home. I think that would be a great, extra precaution.

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. The window alarms have a 3-switch slide button on the left hand side of the larger unit. The up position switches it off and the middle and lower positions are two different types of alarms.

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.
