Great door, but didn't fit my screen door.
The door is a fabulously constructed door. However, even though I specified that the our screen door was over a 1/2 inch (as per the ordering instructions), the kit to install it didn't work. I called the company and they offered to send me a different door (that was an older model that they don't offer for sale any longer) after I sent the original door back. They insisted that our door just wouldn't work for their installation kit. My husband is a mechanical engineer and he couldn't make heads or tails of the kit they sent us even after reading the on-line instructions. He engineered some brackets to install it. It works like a charm, but beware the installation of the "screen door" model.

Thanks for taking the time to write this review. I'm sorry that you and your husband had trouble installing your Hale Universal Screen Pet Door. We've learned that the screen doors in the Southeast have wider spline channels than the screen doors here in the West, so the clips that work here won't work on your screen door. Recently we have developed some clips with wider tabs to accommodate those wide spline channels. Kudos to your husband for inventing an installation solution! We appreciate your business and are sorry to hear of your difficulties with installation.
