Can this be put in a panel fiberglas or metal door.

I put mine in a metal (foam filled) door. If your using a metal door, you can use a Saw-zaw but it could be tricky. I'd recommend a good jigsaw with a long blade. Take note of the jigsaw 'throw'. Watch the burrs!

I put mine in a metal door ( hollow in the middle) and doesn't have any problem with it.

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.

yes , i installed mine in a new metal patio door. start outside and drill the holes as directed. then jig saw with a metal blade. probably won't go all the way. thus using the holes drilled thru saw the inside. they must be exact to get the right fit. you will need two people to get it lined up right, then the rest is easy. It is a great door. we have 3 dogs and its in and out a hundred times a day. seals it self every vtime. it is a bit noisey at times, but it does let us know when they go out. hope that helps.

A 1/4" drill bit will fit. Have used one before. I'm sure you could drill through a metal door, if you're using the appropriate drill bit. Good luck

I don't see why it couldn't be installed into metal. Mine is in my garage but I'm sure it could. And the material is a soft plastic that can probably be cut pretty easily with a small saw.

I would not do it. You would have to drill holes every inch so that you won't have gaps to allow bugs to get in. This frame is plastic and isn't made for this type of door.

I bought this door a year ago for my cat and it is installed in a storm door that has a single layer of sheet metal in the bottom and works great. Hope this helps.

Yes it can be installed in a hollow core door, it also comes with a solid panel that inserts into the opening to lock things in or out.

Yes. I installed mine on a double panel door. I filled in the gap with wood filler where the door indented for the panel. It is strictly a cosmetic issue and work work just fine without the filler but I wanted it to look smooth.

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

I suppose you could, but you would probably need to put a piece of wood in there and then put the door into that. It would take some extra work, but you may be able to make it work.

I measured the frame and it is 2 1/4 inches deep. I really don't think it could work on a screen door panel.

I have used several different doors in the past of a similar style. I have always in the past used them as a semi-permanent solution and I believe that it is possible to do the same with this door. I have actually made this installation permanent as I have mounted the panel on the stationary side of the door. It was suggested tibdi this as an alternative solution and Iam happy iI did it that way. Just be aware that if you mount it on the siding side or the stationary side you are lossing pass thr space

Yes, but it depends on the thickness of your door. The plastic piece is somewhat flexible.

Yes. Some things to note. 1) You have to install the provided lock. I also put a rod in the door track just to ensure safety. 2) The door way shrinks by the width of the panel. May or may not be an issue depending on what you use the doorway for. Hope that helps.

I don't see why not, but I have never done it. The door is hollow in places just like any other door and with the panels you need to determine the best place to put one and then make sure you have sufficient gasket to fill in any gaps.

I think it would be possible, depending on the person's skills who installs it. They would need to check the thickness of the panel you would be cutting into as well as the width and height to be sure. Personally, I would recommend against it due to the fact that cutting fiberglass can be dangerous and problematic, including splintering of the door surface, and it is very dangerous to breathe the dust and fibers. I hope that helps your decision.

I don't think it will. Is this an inside door? Your best bet, if you don't need it weatherproof, might be to just buy a flap, cut an opening the size of the flap, and attack the flap to the panel.
