Do I need Perfect Pet Wall Kit for this door? My wall is probably 5 inches thick.

I am not quite sure what you are asking. Are you installing the Ideal pet door into a wall?The pet door itself only fits up to a 1-3/4" door, I believe. So, if you are putting this pet door into a wall, you definitely will need the "wall kit" if your wall is 5".

If your wall is thicker than 1-3/4 inches, then "Yes" you will need the Wall Kit. Please take notice that the wall kit is sold seperately and does not include the pet door. You can refer to Home Depot's product overview of the wall kit to better understand how the kit works. Hope this helps.

If you are putting it in a standard door, then you don't need the wall kit. If you are putting it into a 2x4 or 2x6 wall, then you need the wall kit.

It will not fit your application out of the box. You will need something more... to install mine in a 5" wall, I made longer fasteners.

I am not familiar with the wall kit, we had a 2 inch metal door. In my estimate you may need it. If it were me, I would order it and don't open the kit unless you clearly see that the measurements don't work out, then use the kit. Just sayin!!! We live our pet door. We live out in the country and have a very hefty bulldog and a choc lab. Also....Our bulldog chewed up the first 2 doors, then we put in this particular door and it has lasted much longer. Very happy with the quality.

I would recommend it as if its rainy and windy then water can get inside the door and cause water damage to the inside of your wall, unless you are going to use some other waterproof material to prevent water damage from happening on the interior of the wall

Hello Elizabeth - lets see if i understand you question. Your garage door is the type that rolls up into the interior of the garage, correct? The exterior depth of the pet door assembly needs approx 3.5 " for clearance. The exact measurement of the exterior depth is 3". I am going to sell my kitty's sureflap since she disappeared. I hope i have answered your question

Our PetSafe Plastic Pet Door is installed into the wall. We have two doors, one inside and one outside, through a wall into the back yard. You can purchase a set that has both doors but we only needed to replace one at this time. Installation was super easy and the flap seals well.

Thank you for your question! The cut-out width of the Large Wall Entry Aluminum Pet Door is approximately 12", so it should fit between the studs just fine.

You need to measure door thicknsss and if need be go and buy shorter screws, if you are going to hang heavy items other than knives use a like wood backing plate. hope this helps

The thickness of your door shouldn't be a problem, but the height probably would. You might want to consider constructing a wooden bracket for the tower. It is worth the extra effort.

I really don't think so...I would look for a different one that is right for that thickness of 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.

if you want to know how thick it is, I'd say is about 1 1/2'' mine is set up on a mouting army and it doenst use much space, but if you are planning to place right agaist the wall it may be a little ticker, but still might look good as well. Hope my info was helpfull

I had this hardware installed by a handyman. We ordered a wider door (40"?) from Home Depot and it was 1-1/2" thick. The bottom track that comes w/this unit is for a door that's 1" thick (that's what handyman said), so we're going to use something else to keep bottom of door from swinging out. All in all, the track is great....really quiet and rolls easily.

Everything comes in the kit to create a pocket the same size as a 2x4 wall. The kit has 2 sets of split studs where your drywall or wall covering will attach the same as a 2x4. If your wall is 2x6 then you need the accessory kit. Otherwise you only need a properly framed opening 1" greater than 2x the size of your door. Hope that helps.

I am sorry, Allen, but I don't know any more than the instructions tell you. We installed it in a wall, which necessitated the purchase of the Ideal Pet Products Medium Ruff-Weather Pet Door Wall Kit". This basically fills in the gap between the inside and outside sections. Rodney

The kit includes the bar, the hardware to hang the bar from the wall, and whatever door you choose to use from the bar with the roller-mount hardware that attaches the door to the bar. No door is included, and you can therefore attach whatever door size is appropriate to your situation. In our case we are mounting about a 30 inch shoji screen, but it could have been a solid, paneled, or window door if we wanted to do that. A wider door up to about 36 inches would also probably work just fine, and depending on the application you could use narrower doors of course.

Yes. The mounts stick out 3.5 inches from the wall. So the door must be thinner than that.

No need to worry about the width of the door; as for the thickness, unless they're REALLY think you'll be OK. The portions which attach to top and bottom of door have an adjustable tension strap between them which helps compensate for thinner doors. If your doors are still to thin then you could throw some cardboard in gaps between the door and the attachment pieces.

Generally not recommended - your door width should be door opening plus approx 2.5 inch. the height can be less or more than this dimension. for specifications you can refer to the Blum US website. http://www.blum.com/us/en/01/20/10/

I have mine over a door that is almost 1 and a half inches thick. Without any room to spear. The door is a little thinner than 1 and a half inches. I hope this helps.
