I got this and installed same day. I did get someone to install for me over a door. He opted to use his own expanding screws as they were a lot thicker, but that was just a personal preference. Also used silicone to seal the opening against the wall, just as a precaution. There was a very slight gap so, better to be prepared. Shelters well from the rain. 2 weeks after installation, there was a hurricane, the awning did not budge. Will buy again
