Can this be installed in a door that is mostly glass, but has six inches of wood around the glass? I already ordered this.

well..... u kinda need a peephole already in your door to make it easy, I guess u could drill a hole in that 6 inches of wood around the glass but don't get close to the glass when drilling the hole, but I say u should already have a peephole , that's a lot easier ask me anything else its cool

I would say so, my mom's door just had thin wood strips between the glass panes. My husband says you only have to drill a 1/4 to 1/2 inch sized hole - he installed one at his office.

The product dimensions are 6.1024" x 4.1339" x 1.181". The plate which you attach to the door is 4 1/8" x 2 1/4". I would say that you will be able to install this on your door, but you might have a little over hang from the display if your section is only 6". Might not even be noticeable.

Hi Annette, if you have an existing peep hole, it should unscrew and be a perfect fit. If not you will need to drill a hole that fits the device and into the wood you mention. I think you will discover it easy to do :)

I think that it is possible. You don't need a large amount of space to mount it , it needs the same space as your standard peepholerequires. Good Luck

I don't think you'd have a problem. The hole that is cut is 6 1/4". You do need all of the 8x8". I checked on one of our doors with a large window and I wouldn't be able to put it there because the molding around the window would make it less than 8".

Probably not without some modification. The door has inner walls that are the standard thickness of a wooden door. And the screws are also long wood screws. At the very least, you'd have to trim the inner walls down and get some different screws... probably even go with nuts/bolts and drill straight through and bolt both sides of the frame directly together.

No way. I would not take that chance. At least not directly. Maybe if you did it the way I did by using two pieces of wood with the glass in between and mount on the wood, but otherwise, no.

Yes It will work but you will need to put spacers in behind the plastic door around the edge to fill the gap cause by the thin door. I did this with my cat door because I put it where a sheet of glass was in a patio door that I took out and replaced with a peace of masonite which is only 1/8th inch thick.It works great. Good luck.

If you mean a screen door, I would say no. It is meant to install in a regular wood door and you have to cut out the hole.

yes that will work... it comes with a piece of material to fill the gap between the interior/exterior sections if the door is too thick. realistically, if you can fabricate a spacer of appropriate width, there is no limit to the thickness of whatever install you have. It is entirely possible to install it through a wall, cinderblock fence, etc.

I would think so, Sarah. You could install one end in the frame and one in the door. Your door would have to be able to take wood screws which I would assume all would. Sounds like a good application for it. Very clever.

Width wise your fine. Depth wise you would have to take the glass doors off. It would be about a inch too big.

The glass is recessed in the door, so it will be difficult to remove. You could use black tape and cover the glass with the tape, if you're worried about the glass breaking. I'm not sure how that would look, tho.

yes because this door is not put at very bottom. It is usually put about 6 inches above the bottom of the door

I think so too. My door is a thin piece of plywood, maybe 1/8th inch thick. If not you could probably stuff it with something to keep it from being loose. I am pretty sure it would look okay.

I can't even imagine cutting the glass and then securing it with screws. I'd have to refer you to a glass shop. This works fine on our 2-inch thick door. But glass? Sounds scary to me. Good luck.

The glass is glued into the door so if this is something you were looking to do yourself then it may be difficult. I did not see an option to buy it with different glass types. The glass looks pretty good though. People that have seen it so far like it. Be careful if you want to use this as a tabletop unit as the door is too heavy and it tips. So it has to be mounted in order to avoid that. I was disappointed with that fact as it looks like it is meant to sit on the tabletop rather than mount to the wall.

I wouldn't cut into glass if I were you. If you are talking about a sliding glass door then they have petdoors made just for them that just go in between the door and the wall like a insert.

I agree with the other two answers. We installed ours in a door, and because the inner door material was thick styrofoam, we had to make a sturdy wooden frame to fit inside the hole cut in the door. I don't think installation would work in glass because of the width of the magnetic cat door.

Our doors are 1 5/16" thick, and there is probably a 1/16" gap left. If your doors are biggerr than that, then you may have to look for an alternative.
