Can this door be installed in an interior wall instead of a door?

You'd have to do too much finagling to get it to work given the thickness of the wall. The pet door is designed for the thickness of a door. Too much of a construction project. I'd look for one designed to go in a wall. Good luck!

Yes with some modification of longer bolts. I'm not sure if the lock will still work. I know I would be able to make it work with trip to the hardware store.

Maybe with some DIY modifications. It comes in two pieces, one on each side of the door. If you put it through a wall, you'd need longer screws and something to infill the gap, the width of the studs, between the two pieces of drywall.

No. That would not be wise. Drywall insufficient to support a person's weight. Must be installed into wood surface behind drywall. By definition, a pocket door location would not have adequate interior support.

Yes. I have it installed this way. However, its possible there are exceptions to this. My door had pre-drilled holes and mortises, which I believe are standardized.

read about and you will find the answer. i live in a building apartment and have that standard metallic door. When you will install remove a back of the item and put it in from the outside inside to your room.

No. Most interior doors are hollow and so it would not hold up attached to an interior door. It is better attached to a stud.

Yes, this can just be adhered to a wall instead of a door. There is no hole for the door knob but it is not difficult to make a small hole for the mechanism to fit through. Remove the door knob first and do not make the hole any bigger than the hole in the door so the shield on the handle hides it.

Only if it is a solid wood door. It would be to heavy for am ordinary interior hollow-core door

While this product is designed for a door, I don't see why it couldn't be installed on an interior wall. A lot depends on how thick the wall is that you're talking about. There is some expansion capability with the cat door but I don't think it's more than a few inches. It would probably be a good idea to frame it if it's going to get a lot of use, but I think a lot depends on the type of wall that were talking about. You would probably want to frame drywall for example. And for the price you just can't go wrong. Good luck.

hmm i don't think it would make sense to do that. the piece comes assembled (it comes ready to mount on your wall) so you would have to remove the door and lock and figure it out. But the inside is uniform so theoretically the hinge could be fastened to the other side if you were so inclined

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.

You can screw it to a wall with the holes provided, which I did. You could drill holes in the side to install it.Note: It is not made to be flush mounted as their is no flange. You could build your own trim as the door's hinges are about one inch from the edges. Hope that helps!Bill

In case your going to place the doggie door in a wall versus an actual door. You'll need the extra frame to extend thru the wall.

Yes, you will have to make holes in the door. I would suggest you only mount it to a wall with the screws provided and make sure you drill into a a wall stud only to hold it up. If your door is hollow, do not drill into the door as I don't feel it would hold up once you add your iron, board, or accessories.

If the size of the opening works, I wouldn't see why you couldn't put it inside the door frame.

That would be very difficult to do on an entry door...don't think it's possible.
