can this cat door be used in an interior wall (from the kitchen to the garage) ?

Yes it can. I would only use it on an interior wall because the lock isn't that strong. I have mine from the hallway to the basement and it works just fine.

Not sure what your asking. I bought it to put on a wall inside my pantry. It could be mounted on the inside of a door too.

Yes, you can. Directions are in the manual under training a cat to use the door.

The specific cat door I purchased and the one in the picture I have been asked to review, is recommended for "thin doors and screens up to 1/2-inch thick." I installed it into a 1/2 thick screen porch wall...anything thicker, such as an interior wall or typical door would not work for this specific product. You need to get a cat door recommended for whatever thickness your wall or door is. I did not have to frame the opening...just cut out the hole and the door itself acted as the frame.

You know I'm not really sure. We used it on a interior door in an industrial warehouse building. I believe they sell similar items at Home Depot now so you can check with them if there's one in your area.

i highly recommend that you read the installation instructions before you buy. This particular model comes with a "liner" so you can install it in a typical door. The liner is just a plastic ring that connects the two sides of the door assembly so your cat doesn't drag his/her belly against the material inside the door. Most garage doors these days are made out of thin aluminum less than 0.25 inch thick. So you might be able buy the version without the liner, saving you a couple of bucks.

YesGuidera48 said on November 16, 2014 | Edit Yes. I have mine in a wall in the kitchen by the back door. However you will have to frame the inside of the opening with 1x4 wood and paint it. I have installed over 8 of these in walls over the years for customers. I am a general contractor and remodel lots of kitchens. I always sell this item as a must have. I normally line the space with bent aluminum coil. ( used in roof fascias and other locations on a house). This allows the cleaning of the tunnel on a regular basis. I used to paint the tunnel but you have no idea how dirty it gets. I install the flap part on the sheetrock in the house and the trim piece on the outside. it all depends what kind of exterior you have on the house. I.e. Brick, hardie plank, vinyl siding, etc. . On lap siding, T111 siding or vinyl, i picture frame the opening and install the plastic trim on top. The tunnel ends up about 5 to 6 inches long. Both my cat and jack russell fly through it. In the mornings, when I go turn on the coffee machine, they are both waiting by the door to be let out. . Best thing I did for them, and me.

Yes! I installed it in a wall! It looks pretty nice. The pet door adjusts to different thickeness, just measure how thick is your wall and see if the pet door adjusts to it.

we put it in a existing wall in a entry and put the door on the inside wall. Screwed it to the wall. the other part went against the outside wall.. Just make sure it is level and square. We used 1x4 to line between the two walls.. (make a box to fit the hole. they have a sorta 4" ledge inside the wall to step on befgore they get out. But with the door on the inside wall helps keep rain from coming down on the door. Been good and we've got a "fat-fat cat" using it along with smaller cats. great door. Let me know if I can help u or if something is not clear.. but was really asy. we put it in a existing wall in a entry and put the door on the inside wall.

I would say no. It doesn't seal very well and my inside cat can get the doors open. It also doesn't say that it's weather proof and the plug is metal so it would probably rust fairly easy.

yes, if you have to put a screw in it to hold it in space that is all that would have to be removed to remove it!! I was able to set mine in the tract and not have to use the screw. so to remove I just unlock the door from it and lift it out!! My cats love the door!!

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.

Yep I have it and its installed on an interior door (one of those hollow 6 panel ones) and it works great. However not sure if you read all the reviews but this door does make a loud unlocking sound that took my cats a while to to get use too - sounded like a taser. Once my cats got over the fear the door worked great and keeps our 12 lb dog from getting into the laundry room where we have the litter box and where we feed the cats.

You certainly can mount it directly to the door. The important factor would be to make certain you will have a secure way to fasten it.....Most inside doors are hollow and it may be difficult to use a regular wood screws for a secure mounting. If the door is hollow you might want to try to use a hollow wall anchor. There are several types available at your hardware or home improvement store.

I installed mine in a wall. It works great. Easy to install. I had no issues with putting mine in the wall instead of cutting into a door.

No, if a small dog can go through it and a small baby then a cat will be able to go through the door unless it is locked with the locking partition.
