how does it actually look on the door ? it appears in the pictures &amp; video to look very "clunky" large.

Doesn't look nice at all but works great and keeps my kids safe. It hides behind my curtains so not a big deal ;)

It IS a bit 'clunky' but does the job very well (very easy to install too). I have 3 kids under 6 and having this on the sliding doors really helps. I found the locking feature very handy. After sliding the bolts in place, there's a small key hole which can lock the bolts in place. So to answer your question...clunky?..Yes...functional?...Absolutely.

Put it all the way up on your door. I guest you need to adjust it to make it fix. Take me a few times to get it right.&#128522;

It's supposed to be held in place by a velcro tab that comes with the product but it didn't stay in place. No the installation doesn't leave holes in the door. It works but definitely is not pretty. Sorry it took so long to reply back to you.

It's so minimal - you can only see the white two over-door brackets about 3/4 of an inch each (I measured for you) at very top of door - my door is white so it's barely noticeable. In fact, I didn't notice until you asked the question. My door that it's on closes to the main entrance hallway to my home - & again, it's barely noticeable.

I was wondering too and took a chance and bought it. At its widest point, including the plastic nubs at the ends (which do not seem easy to remove), the bar is 36 and 7/8 inches wide (nearly 37").For me, this means I can only fit it in one door way, and not symmetrically (it has to stick out farther to the right because the wall is in the way on the left), but it still seems to hold on fine, even though the foam touching the door frame is a slightly different thickness on either side.As far as depth goes, my door is 6 1/2 inches deep including trim, and it fits very well without tilting either way.

Too heavy to be mounted on a standard cabinet door. The wall is the best option cause of weight after polishes are in it. Hope that helps!

Yeah, on the front bottom right corner it has it pressed on. It doesn't look bad or crummy, it adds a bit to the style in my opinion

A few videos on YouTube also. To be honest once you have the door skin off, which is the hard part, you're pretty much done. Took me about an hour start to finish taking my time. Just make sure you have metric tools.

My husband installed it and then realized it was meant for another door, so he had to remove it. He had no problem doing so. :) Hope that helps!

It is dark Brown/looks black when hanging over the door tho. I bought 2 of these and LOVE them!

It's rather large. I was going to put it on a bedroom door, but I would have had to cut it down. Now my door could have been a bit on the small size, I'm not very sure of its measurements. But I opted to put it on a wall instead. It's still very awesome and a great material. It's a nice sturdy vinyl. I hope it helps.

If it is a normal door and I am understanding your question the door may be too big for this product to work properly.

First a message from our sponsor: Installs with a 1/8" (3.2 mm) or 1-1/2" (38.1 mm) reversible clamp ring. Outside Dimension: 11-3/4" (298.5 mm) Cut-Out Dimension: 10-1/2" (266.7 mm) Flange Distance to Edge: 5/8" (15.8 mm) No reason why it couldn't be installed in a door, inside or outside - two issues are the thickness of what it's being mounted in and aesthetics - An after thought, the porthole is tinted - I can see out fine, but seeing in is not always easy - not sure how this would work out on an interior window - trying to look into a dark room would likely be difficult - I'm a single guy with two female Miniature Schnauzers, they have never complained over appearances of anything - human females may not be so easily appeased - The inside ring has a 3/4 inch offset - there are two ways to mount it - with the porthole mounting nested into the inside ring which leaves a 'gap' of 1/8" or so - reverse the ring and the 'gap' increases to 1-1/2" or so - If the wall (door, whatever) is either 1/8" or an 1-1/2" thick, there should be no problem - Here's where the aesthetics enter - With the inside ring nested and longer screws, it could be installed on even thicker mediums (over 1/8"), BUT there will be a gap between the porthole mounting and the inside ring - If the wall was say an 1-1/4 thick, there would be a gap between the inside ring and the porthole mounting of an inch or so - With longer screws, the inside ring reversed and a wall thickness of 2-1/2 inches, again there would be a gap between the inside ring and the porthole mounting of inch or so - and you could potentially see down in between the walls - Besides aesthetics, if someone were seated next to the porthole, could there be drafts? Fixes might include a strip of foam looped around and 'sandwiched' in to fill the gap - None of that would bother me or my girls, but a spouse or elderly person might be more sensitive - I attached some pictures - one is the installation sheet from CSL, which isn't likely to help much

Yes I find it's too wide to get through some doors. Need to juggle the frame around to enter. Also the frame is far to wide anyway, it needs to be made in two sizes. Not everyone is so overweight!

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.

There is a groove across the top the door fits in and just hangs down from there......This way the door is easily removed and not obstructing anything with any hardware...works just fine for me and I wouldn't know what to do to improve on it...........
