Can I use this pet door in a wall?

You could, but you would need to make some kind of extension to full the gap between the two halves - they will work with a wall thickness up to about one or 1.5 inches, after that you need to make a "tube" of some type to cover the distance between the two ends. I did this out of wood and it worked great.

I installed mine in a wall. It works great. Easy to install. I had no issues with putting mine in the wall instead of cutting into a door.

I purchased 2 of these doors. However, both were installed on doors, 1 solid wood & the other is a hollow paneled one. There's a max thickness they're good for. Go beyond that & I think you'd need to improvise. I had a contractor/friend install both of mine & they've been great for getting litter boxes into my basement.

We did but we had to create a wooden jamb the depth of the wall and then we screwed the faces to each side. No problem for us, we are professional construction people with a full woodworking shop, but other people may not have this capability. There are some models you can buy the wall extension for, just not the one that is this small. Hope this helps. :)

Yes, but if it's a hollow wall, like studded walls w/ drywall, the void in the wall will be exposed. This being the case in most situations, some drywall and plaster work would have to be done first, then the door would be used as finish trim.

I can't say for sure but we mounted on a panel door to our basement. That actually ended up being to thin so we had to adjust for it to work. Check the actual door you want to get and see if they have the measurement (some slide to different widths) and measure your wall. I can tell you it is a great door, the flap works well and the cat uses it all the time. Makes life much easier.

I think the pet door frame would need to be cut down and the frame work is marked for this purpose. We had to cut ours down for a paneled wood door and it worked just fine.

I can't see why not. It comes with the hardware you would need to mount it on the wall or door. Note you will have to drill 4 holes in the door.

Why through the wall? Do you have any door wood or metal that is closer to your yard? First you may need to measure the wall thickness and you may have to make a wooden frame to fit the pet door inside. My concern is if you are off in your measurements the pet door will become a nightmare. Otherwise this door fit perfect on any door.

I don't think so. There is a minimum thickness of the door in order to install the pet door.

Hello Sharon, this piece of equipment is meant to be used on a doorway only (pay attention to the width of the doorway vs the length of the product). Unless you really modify this piece of equipment, I can't really think of a way to put this on the wall. The top part of the image you see is hardened plastic with some foam (top protect the paint above your door) and the bar you see stretching across the entire unit rests on the door's molding which really provides the support.I certainly appreciate the fact that I can just use it and then move it out of the way when I'm done....

Yes, it could be installed in a hollow door. It has a slide in panel to prevent use by your pet.

While this product is designed for a door, I don't see why it couldn't be installed on an interior wall. A lot depends on how thick the wall is that you're talking about. There is some expansion capability with the cat door but I don't think it's more than a few inches. It would probably be a good idea to frame it if it's going to get a lot of use, but I think a lot depends on the type of wall that were talking about. You would probably want to frame drywall for example. And for the price you just can't go wrong. Good luck.

Yes. Absolutely. It is just a fabric door with magnets to keep it together. It is designed for animals to be able to go in and out of without trouble.

Hi, Yes, you could, but I think that you would be better off with another product as my gate had just normal use with a 12 lb dog and two hinges/screws came right out.

It would have more to do with the construction of the door than the walldog screws. A veneer skinned door like most interior passageway/bedroom rooms made in the last few decades just will not have enough material to hold anything of any real weight. Steel skinned exterior doors would have a better chance.I would say at best it would be 'iffy' but possible with the correct conditions the variables being the door and not the hardware. I have no reservations about the hardware doing the job, just where you are looking to mount it.

not quite. My sliding door has a metal piece at the top which does not fit into the gap at the top of the petdoor. If I was more handy, I could probably cut the metal piece that causes the blockage in the pet door; however, this is just for balcony access, so I don't have to worry about locking the door.

If there is it is sold separately, what's in the box Fits a standard or a fire door approximately 1 1/2" thick. The bad thing is is that there is door controlling parts on both sides of the pet door so I don't know if you could custom make anything to work in a regular wall.

The smaller piece can go on the door frame instead of the wall. I placed it right on the ledge that the door closes against. There, the two pieces match up just right. The two parts must match up for it to work.

No. Access is from the wire front door. Well I guess you could un-clip the side but it's not the way to put a pet in. You can dissassemble the sides but takes sometime. Hope that answers your question.

You can, but you would be probably installing for a standard 24" pocket door and 30" pocket doors to recess them completely into wall.

no it can't,we used a piece of plywood cut to fit window then fit the pet door in
