Can this unit be installed in a wall, rather than a door. We don't have a suitable door to let the cat in and out through a flap.

Yes we installed it in a wall using 2 of the extenders. We love it. Our cats love it-even one of my neighbor's cats love it when we leave it unlocked. It has worked great so far.

You can install it on a cardboard box even. It has everything to do with the thickness of the place you're installing it. A wall works great if it's the right thickness. Check the specs. I think there may even be an extension tube available if you need it.

It's possible but we had to train our cat and dog to get through. My cat tore holes through the first one we had and so we're replacing it, but it's definitely worth it (we had it for a year before this happened and it only happened because the glass door was closed and it was storming). Overall, it's worth the price. We use it in stead of a sliding screen, and it's so nice and easy.

No. This door would not keep any type of pet in. It does not sit flush to the frame, unless you tried to velcro the entire length of the door. Even then...there would be a space at the corners. Plus, the frame is very, very flimsy...so it wouldn't take much effort for your cat to just push right through.

No ma'am, it does not have a door, or flap on it. It is simply just a opening for the cat to enter and exit. The unit In my opinion is very well designed and works wonderfully! Cleaning the box literally takes less than 30 seconds

Nope. My cat caught on how to use the door faster than one of my dogs. I like that, but if you have a strictly indoor cat, it won't work.

I can't say for sure but we mounted on a panel door to our basement. That actually ended up being to thin so we had to adjust for it to work. Check the actual door you want to get and see if they have the measurement (some slide to different widths) and measure your wall. I can tell you it is a great door, the flap works well and the cat uses it all the time. Makes life much easier.

Yes if you put the side with the lock on the inside of the door/wall where it is installed. But then any animal will be able to get in, because the magnet would not be required for coming in. Also, the switches to lock/unlock the door would be on the outside.

I guess you could put it in a wall. I suppose no one does this because you are stuck with the door forever whereas in a door, you could just switch it out.

I am guessing that it could. When I mounted it in a window, a metal sleeve was mounted first; then the unit slid into it. I would imagine the sleeve could be inserted into a wall opening.

It depends how far it's recessed. This has a block on the back that mounts it to the wall, you open the metal flap and screw it from inside where the tp goes. Warning, my dogs figured it out fast.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

I don't think so. There is a minimum thickness of the door in order to install the pet door.

I am sure someone with amazing talent could, but it is not made to recess into the wall. It was not exactly easy to mount as it is two different pieces that have to be lined up close but not so close you break the glass when opening the door. Other than that this is a great unit, once it is in you will love it!

no reason why not. it doesnt work through walls. there must be a direct path between the dog and the unit.

You would need to modify it. Remove the screws for the door hooks then screw directly to the wall with plastic wall anchors should work.

It could work as a vertical installation, but I wouldn't recommend it. You'd have to add material to enclose the exposed area not covered by the window panel included with the air conditioner. But what's worse is that you couldn't normally use that door since it probably would have to be permanently closed while attached to the enclosure material. But if you or someone you know is handy, you could build an enclosure running the vertical length on the inside of the door to allow the unit to vent while also allowing the door to open and close. But it wasn't intended for this type of installation.

Yes, it could be installed in a hollow door. It has a slide in panel to prevent use by your pet.
