can this be installed in an existing panel with a dog door?

You would have to remove the old door. And the hole has to be the right size. You cant just change parts. The mechanical parts (battery, solenoid and door latches) are in the space in the bottom, under the flap.

You cut an opening only slightly larger than the door panel itself. The door panel measures 12.25" W X 16" H to accommodate pets up to 100 lbs. Cut out size is 12.5" W X 17.25" H with an overall size of 16" W X 40.63" H X 2" D.Sandra

Hi Techfan, If you want to use the door for your patio door, you need the door that goes with the insert, which is the low-e dual pane door. We can adapt this power pet door with a low-e dual pane insert. Please let us know and we can add it to our list. Sandra

I am sure it depends on which door insert you have. But I would visit their website @ http://www.petsafe.net. There are several Accessories and hardware kits available. If you can not find what you are looking for there is also a support link on the site and they may be able to answer that question for you.

Yes, just cut the hole in the door, install pet door that includes all your parts, and your all set.

Yes...that's where I used it. It was about a "medium" in difficulty to put on. You do have to remove the inner door panel. There are directions on the Internet to do that

It MAY be possible expand it, if that's what you're asking. The base unit at the end can be removed and one of the panels could be used in that manner but you'd have to buy two gates. To answer the other part of your question, there is no door.

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 don't think so because the dog mate door is pretty thick and must be screwed into the door from either side. A screen door would be too thin and flimsy to support this door.

Probably not because the dog door frame is snapped to the existing screen which is still attached to the door. It needs screen under and around.

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

Yes you can. I installed it on a regular hollow core interior door and there was a gap inbetween the to panels. It could have used the spacer that can be purchased extra. Otherwise a great product.

Yes they can. They have a small pole that attaches them that easily pulls out. I pull it out and move the one panel in front of a door way to block my dog from going into the rest of the house. And then I can easily just slide it right back in place.

No. That would be a danger in pinning the pet between the door and the frame so it doesn't. You would probably need some other product to keep that pet away from the door.

The doggy door will install on just about any surface that you can cut a hole through and that is less than two inches thick. The doggy door ads about an inch and a half to the thickness of whatever panel it is installed in. Folding doors may not be able to fold flat and there might be clearance problems with sliding or roll up doors.

You may be able to do this if you put something under the panels next to the upside-down door panel so that it doesn't drag on the ground. I think it could work.

The panel may be removed as needed. We found that it is not a tough chore, but not something to do casually. We have had our panel in place for four years. The dogs use it a lot. When we want to keep them in, we slide in the flap cover.
