will the Ideal pet Door work on a metal door that is not a flat surface? My door has two panel bottom of door.

The IDEAL pet door has a seal on the outside half that is supposed to fit uniformly on the house door so as to keep the weather out. If the house door that you are considering installing the pet door in is an outside door (leading outside of the house), then you will have trouble getting a good weather seal if the house door has an irregular surface. To better help answer your question, try watching the installation video that is provided on the left side of the page on the IDEAL pet door site. Hope this helps!

Yes you can successfully install this cat door within a metal exterior door. Follow instructions provided to cut for larger hole opening as the metal within the door interferes with the sensor and magnet on the collar.

They recommend that the bottom of the opening is at least 1 inch below your shortest dog's belly and the top 1 inch above your tallest dogs back. I have a medium (australian cattle/pitt) and a large dog (lab) and the large door works just fine (barely met the recommended height range). If one of your dogs is really small you will have to install it low so that they can manage to get out. I guess the lab may possibly be able to use it with low install (by ducking down maybe) but it would probably not be comfortable. You may need a different door with a larger total opening.

Maybe. I ordered it for our extra large vari kennel not realizing there are two types of doors for that crate. We apparently have the older model that has a straight edge on the top, not curved, and this door would not fit. As it turns out, it seems the door we need is no longer available, but that was about a month ago and things may have changed.

The aluminum panel should work. As previously stated, please make sure to order the correct height for your door track.

You'll need to cut a piece of wood (a 2x2 perhaps) or something to lay in the track of the sliding door for security. I found a metal shower rod and cut it for a snug fit to lie in the track at the bottom. I don't go in and out the door, but slide it open for fresh air sometimes. I suppose you could i stall the pet door in the same track as the screen door and that might work well for you.

Depends on the design of your existing sliding door. My original catch was too wide to mount on the pet door, and the provided replacements didn't work with my sliding door. I had to cut away some of the plastic on the weather stripping to mount my original catch.

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

I agree with other contact, the frame of the door is the same thinkness as a standard door. You could check with the manufacturer, they have great customer service, to see if they have a modifier that might allow it to work, great door, gets a lot of use with my 3 dogs.

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.

If the part that attaches to the door is not sitting flat, then you probably have a door that is thicker than 1 1/4" (probably 1 3/8"), in which case, you will have to notch the door to accommodate the metal flanges that are preventing the hinge flap from laying flat.

No. If the bottom of the door has a metal frame such as a metal door bottom, this will not fit over the metal frame. This item is made to slide over bottom of a frameless shower door.

Hi Denise,Unfortunately, this door is not for screen doors or windows, but if you type on the amazon's search box for screen pet doors, some options will come out.Sandra

Depends on the panel size and configuration, but all of the doors I looked at that had panels would not accommodate this door. I had a custom door made that had no panels. Just one flat plane.

The metal parts are very strong but I used suction cups to attach it to the door since I was just trying to keep a cat in. This would not be secure enough for your dog. If you screwed the ends of the gate into the wood in the door frame it would be quite sturdy.

Yes, if the place where you install it doesn't slide past another door, then it would work. It's about an inch thick, so it might be perfect for a dog that's scratching

If you mean the bottom half of your door is a solid piece of thin aluminum, I would think you could make it work providing you have the proper tools.
