I never tried it. This one says it is 80 inch long but my door frame
is just 78 inches long. Do you think I can adjust the length?

What kind of tools do I need?

I appreciate any serious advice and that you in advance.

Chris

For the last one I installed, I used a drill, a screwdriver, and a tape
measure. It just had a metal track at the top, the door screwed to the
jamb, and a magnetic catch on one side.

Find a different brand that's the right length. Cutting two inches off
the bottom might ruin hinges or connectors.
