Can this screen door be shortened? I'm wanting to put on my camper door. Thanks

I believe it can be, but I unless its seamed at the end the screen will fray from continued shoe/feet going in and out.

Not from the bottom as it is weighted. You might be able to fold over the top a few times and then put it thru the rod.

Yes, it could be doubled over and sewn at the top to make it shorter. There are magnets attached to the hem at the center connection that one would need.

Hello,Technically yes, but the poll included does 35"- 37" W. But, you use any poll you may have or etc to attach this item. But, I would recommend finding some thing smaller as this item was designed for a double door(French door, Sliding door) for such as a house etc.

Good afternoon, we do not have any doors that are the size of 80*48, also, we are not able to cut down the doors at our facility as it would go against the warranty. Sorry for any inconvenience, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask!ThanksAaron

Very easy. The 1/2 inch tab gets pushed into the track on the side of the screen frame. The flap faces in toward the window. You will most likely need to trim to fit overall length of frame. It is recommended to leave a little long on the bottom to cover gap, but not too long to interfere with operation of door. I believe there are instructions with it.

Yes - but you might have to fold the screen over at the top to shorten it. They work very well. I installed this French door screen for a 97 year old man, who has no trouble going in/out his one-side-only-opened doors.

No, it will not work for you! Our camper step is about the same as yours, (6 inches) and these are too tall to fit even at their lowest setting. For mine, I had to cut the bottom pad off, cut the tube down, and then reweld the pad back onto the now shortened tube and then repaint. Unless you have the capability to do this, do not waste your money on these.

I don't think you can shorten it. We have ours attached to a post and a tree.

I don't think it would work in a screen door. We had to make some adjustments for the installation in a wooden door.

Yes, the company has been very helpful in dealing with many issues like this for me. You can purchase longer rails for taller doors with no problem at all. Call the company directly for better direct servce

No. This door is installed by snapping the two separate halves together from each side of a screen.

Nope you need a different product.. Best bet for a screen door is likely Lowes or Home Depot. They aren't very expensive as I recall.

I don't have the same setup as you, however I would guess that it wouldn't be a problem. The mounting brackets are quite narrow and do not extend much if any beyond the screen door frame. Also, the bar/handle sits about a 1.5-2 inches off the door itself.

Unfortunately, mine is at my vacation house, so I can't check it in person. I haven't had it that long (only used once so far) but I don't believe it can be shortened. Hopefully someone else will respond who can tell you definitively.

Sorry, I got rid of the trailer I installed it into. I had a round-handled latch, then got this. I cut the hole to fit. My recollection is that it was about 2" side by 2½" tall. I also had to cut the opening for the latch and "deadbolt" slide, in the face of the door. Sorry I can't be of more help. It was not hard to cut all the holes I needed, using an electric jigsaw. You could to it with a hand coping saw, also.

Yes, you may have to trim the top and bottom rails. Installed properly this is a great door, the only problem we've had is people trying to walk through it when it is closed. :-)

I had a similar problem. The door cannot be trimmed to make is smaller. However my husband being a finish carpenter simply took out the sheet rock header for the door and made the opening larger. All other screened doors were twice as expensive as these doors, so in the long run I was very happy. The entire installation only took him less than 3 hours. The draw back with these doors is they aren't tight and when opening they don't slide fast and that could be a problem for some people. In our application we only want the screen for air movement and have another door for going in and out......but no, the door cannot be trimmed at all.

Sorry, but we gave this to one of our sons and he lives away so I can't look at it. We installed it for him and I seem to recall the bar and mounts arrive assembled and you just attach it to the wall. I don't know if it could be shortened.
