Can this be used in a window frame for a french door?

I wouldn't think so Jon unless you had a guy build a frame around the piece of glass you just took out. That would work. You need a frame to attach both sides too!

I don't believe so. Even in my very rudimentary mind related to all things carpentry, it seems to only be built for insert into sliding doors.

If the French door has sufficient wood in the bottom panel to accommodate the dog door it can go. However, most French doors I'm familiar with have glass all the way to the bottom sso the dog can't be installed unless you have a glass cut for it. A difficult and expensive proposition.

It will work. I have this installed on french doors that open outwards. It's installed with adhesive backed velcro that you attach to the inner door moulding, then the screen sticks to those velcro pieces.

Hard to say for sure. We use it to hold open a french door -- wood outer frame, with a large glass panel. It holds it easily, even though it sits on a slick floor. I'm tempted to say it will do okay, but I just don't know about your application.

The hardware screws in to the wall. It would work fine as long as you are willing to screw in to the door frame.

If your opening has an edge wide enough to place a bracket with 2 screws and also the frame around window.

Yes, I modified this in a french window by placing a foam board cut to size to take up the "extra space" left in the window after installing the kit. It takes a bit of ingenuity, but yes, it can be done. The item is working quite well in my 300 sq ft living room. You can also use plexiglass or wood to take up the remaining space.

Absolutely. My boyfriend installed it in a cheap, thin wooden door, (installed by a cheap landlord:).

I believe it could be used on a door I used it framed on a 2x4 and the thickness of exterior sheeting of 3/8

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.

The outside height of the frame is 9-3/4, and the opening size that the door will fit into is 9-3/8. Depending on the design of the window you are fitting this into, you will need a filler panel with a 9-3/8 high opening cut in it, with enough material around it top and bottom to be stable. I would guess you will need a window opening of at least 10", depending on the material you use for the filler panel.

The question is not 'could' it be used, but 'should' it be used, on the inside of double paned windows. All I have read from the makers of them is NO.

Not really, they use a closure system to keep them closed. You could rig up some sort of fastener for them, but it would be awkward. I think they make something for French doors, keep looking!

Cassey, Your frame would have to be 3/4 inches thick. These are designed for a 1/2 overlay. Which means the door would overlay the frame by 1/2 inch. As far as dimensions, the door could be any size. Hope this helpsDennis

Without seeing the window I really don't know. There are 2 parts to the door that have to be fastened together, so I don't know how you would do it with glass unless you could fastened it to the wooden frame of the window.

No, both the hinge side and the lock side screw into a wall stud or the window frame; not sure how else you would do it though you could secure it to wood and secure the wood with whatever fastener you are thinking of.

No. In fact I couldn't use it for my doors. I live in New Orleans and we have old heavy wood doors. Totally useless.
