Quality Door and Customer service
I am giving the quality of the door and customer service 5 stars. I purchased my door for installation on my screened in porch. For this installation the pet door needs to be customized by removing the outside edge on two sides. I had to purchase an additional 72 inch stabilizing bar. Then everything went down hill from here but this isn't the fault of the Hale door except that I don't think they should recommend this door for any screen larger than the screen door on a sliding glass door which can be removed to install the door. I found the installation instructions to be somewhat difficult to follow. I couldn't find an authorized dealer any closer to my home than 2.5 hours away. Finally hired a general contractor who screwed up the installation and ended up cutting the 72" stabilizing bar too short. The door is installed but not very well. If I return the door I will only get 50% of the cost back, which I was informed of before I purchased the door. Add shipping to that and It's not worth the time to return it. I plan to have a frame installed in the Screen and install the door in frame which I should have done this in the first place again my bad but I think this should be mention as an alternative to the stabilizing bar. That said when I replace the door it will be with a Hale door with a universal fit.
