Can I cut into the plastic and install a dog door?

yes you can. If the door has a template, tape it to the shed where you want it, drill pilot holes (1/4" in diameter) in the for corners, and use a jig saw with a metal blade to cut the door. Once done use the screws that come with the kit or use 3/4" #8 bolts and nuts to attach the door and there you go.

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 you could with a jig saw or heavy duty knife. Just would want to support it if it is large

The walls aren't very thick (maybe 3/4"). So you could do it for a small dog and maybe reinforce the outer edges.

I would say yes, but one side of the doggy dog might not be flush against your panel door.

You could cut the wire that holds the door on but that would be the only way. It is really a nice product.

I would sure think so. The door is made of Lexan do it's very stout. The only way they could get in is with the dog and his collar.

You would have to carefully drill those holes, but the plastic is definitely sturdy enough to do this. Good idea!!!

You can apply the product without making any holes in the door; there is a precut out hole area that fixes under the door knob flange. Included in the package are two 3/4 inch diameter circular double sided adhesive disks to help hold the plastic against the door. I did drill and place several small screws through the plastic at the lower edge to more securely apply the product. That only put tiny drill holes at the bottom of the door; not noticeable and easily filled in if desired later. I like the ribbed side of the plastic; we can hear when our dog desires to come in the home.

Possible but not easy. Would have to remove glass at least partially and built wooden filler panel with doggie door opening. Incidentally, we have discovered method to rivet electronic sensor to collar which works beautifully. Our two dogs are extremely active outdoors, wrestle one another etc. and zero problems with lost sensors.

I would think so. This is basically a sheet of thickish plastic--sort of like one of those disposable cutting boards. There is a slit where you slip the guard over the door handle. I believe pretty much any door handle will be accommodated. By the way, while this item isn't exactly aesthetically pleasing, it certainly keeps our dog from jumping to reach the doorknob. Good luck!

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.

Hello,I purchased this flap to put in a fence with out the frame work. I would got to PetSafe.net and put your mouse over the word doors and scroll down to replacement door and parts. You can also call them or email them regarding replacement parts they were very helpful to me. I just didnt' tell them I wasn't going to purchase from them since I found such a fgreat buy on Amazon. Good luck.

I installed it in a hollow metal door, so not positive, but I don't think you should have any problem. It may just take you a bit more work to cut through more material. Both our dogs only took a couple tried to figure out how to use it as well.

Even if there is, I'm not sure it's a great idea. My three Jack Russells love this door, and the freedom it gives them - they run at it full tilt, and barely without looking because they just expect it to be open. If I replaced the grey one with another solid, but clear door, I'd be afraid my dogs would break their necks because for sure they wouldn't notice which door was on. My youngest has had a couple of nasty bumps as it is when the grey one was in use.

Almost certainly, it's not possible. As the photo shows, the pads are attached by hammering an open cylinder into the wood of the legs. I can't imagine that the walls of the cylinder are sharp enough to cut through plastic.

I also have an insulated exterior door that I installed the Dog mate into...it was a little more difficult to cut but it works

I cut mine with scissors. It is solid plastic but still a little flexible and not really thick. A utility knife should work, too.

Absolutely. A razor blade or moderately sharp scissors will easily cut it. I cut it into 20x46" panels to insulate the inside of my metal garage door. Just one heads up: if you ever want to affix it to vinyl (say a vinyl coated metal garage door...) be sure to use vinyl adhesive. The other stuff won't work.

You would have to install new door latches. These are not very hard to open even by a wild animal. Mine are kept indoors.
