Can this be used on a sliding door? null

Question

Bonefixer · Accepted Answer

As long as there is an area of the door that does not slide behind the other section (which there should be for the handle), it will work.

Allen · Answer

Yes. You would need to install the sensors on the window frame of both the fixed and moving portion of the sliding door. A pocket door would be difficult but possible.

CasualEditor · Answer

Yes, they work for sliding doors. Just put one part of the contact senor in a stationary structure where the door closes, and the other part of the sensor on the door part that will be sliding. Keep in mind though, this detects when the doors slide open.

Yes, as long as there is room to mount one of the sensors on the fixed part of the door frame and the other one on the sliding door itself. It does not matter which sensor goes on the frame and which one goes on the sliding door.

Yes. so long as you can find an area on the door and the door surround close enough to each other when closed. The included adhesive is sufficient to keep them attached.

Yes, I would say it could. It’s two separate pieces. Once that contact is broke it activates the alarm. We have it on our windows and doors so it shouldn’t be a problem.
