A Birch screen door is named after the man who created them and will "fit" any standard GMC door. The ease with which it "fits" those doors is... variable. I have heard rumors that some people had a moderately easy time installing one...

From my own experience, a used Birch door is devilishly difficult to install so that it looks and works well. HOWEVER, it is a truly wonderful upgrade. There are more parts to the door than just the door. I haven't looked at the listing, but you need the door, the door sliders, the hinges, new door pins, and trim to make it all work. While there are sources for all but the door itself, if its not all there when you buy it, the used door can quickly get more expensive than buying a brand new Ragusa door.

Of course, I've heard the Ragusa suffers from its own difficult installation and some people say it feels flimsier than the Birch. I have not seen a Ragusa so I can't comment...

Overall, I have many, many hours of work, many of those hours with the able assistance and direction of Bob Burkitt, installing and perfecting my Birch door. I love it, but it was a PITA to make right!
