can this cat door be installed on an exterior fiberglass door

Yes, but if the door is thicker than recommended, you will have to buy longer screws from the hardware store. If the door is thinner than recommended, you will have to buy shorter screws from the hardware store.

I think it would be possible, depending on the person's skills who installs it. They would need to check the thickness of the panel you would be cutting into as well as the width and height to be sure. Personally, I would recommend against it due to the fact that cutting fiberglass can be dangerous and problematic, including splintering of the door surface, and it is very dangerous to breathe the dust and fibers. I hope that helps your decision.

It says "not for plastic or acrylic" so I would assume that it should not be used on fiberglass.

I wouldn't recommend it. There is a little more than an 1/8 in gap between the cat door and the door that buts up to it. They provide a sticky strip of plastic to cover that gap but I wouldn't guess that would work in Wisconsin. That plastic strip didn't stay stuck for long. I live in Maui, Hawaii so it's not too bad for me.

I don't know Patricia. I had an outside cat patio and cat walk installed and we put the cat door in a special screen made with wood framing around it. Also, the plastic door is kind of heavy & my cat's not thrilled with it. It works, but it's not what I thought it would be. I'm sorry........

Yes you can. BUT you have to install it very well not to have a slight opening/a crack, so to speak, that lets in cold air. Must be aligned perfectly which we couldn't quite achieve. So we wound up putting strips of clear weatherproof tape all down that crack which meant we can't slide open the door without tearing lose the tape. But, it is so convenient for the cats, we are living with a door that can't be open.

I used installed it on my exterior storm door. Not sure if that's what you are asking though.

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.

I installed mine on a storm door so yes, it should. My door works great, by the way. It took some time for the cats to understand how it works (they really didn't understand that they could push the door open with their noses to get in and out for the first week or so) but after that, it has been great.

Yes, but it's batt fiberglass so it is compressible and can be pressed into the door panel frames. I used gorilla tape on loose edges where door metal pieces do not retain the insulation.

Yes, it can be done. I had a carpenter cut out the hole for the door, install the cat door and then he sealed it with silicone. I have pictures of it and am trying to figure out how to post them so you can see how it was done.

Sorry not sure of the answer to this one...I have only used the cat flap on wooden doors. There are doors that are made specifically for glass though: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/251349985898?limghlpsr=true&lpid=104 http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/like/291015675433?limghlpsr=true&lpid=104 http://www.cat-world.com.au/forums/index.php?/topic/85313-cat-door-through-a-glass-window/ This site gives an answer to a similar question: Hi, I have 2 cat doors through glass window panels, 1 on each side of the house as my cat cages and tunnels go right around my fence line and house. The one in the spare bedroom we got 3 years ago and the other in the garage which is now a large family room, 2 years ago. I cant find my receipts for the costs involved for the glassier, but try Windscreens O'brien for costs, (my glass in the garage started to crack in the corner where the cat flap was and my original glassier was not happy to do it again, less than 12 months later) they were excellent for service. Turns out my original glassier did a bad job on that particular glass panel twas was not my cats fault, I have 5 insiders that use them constantly. I have those Dr Harry cat window perches as well which have been drilled into the window ledges for better support. The cat doors I purchased both from ebay. Catwalk superior cat doors, they come in clear or white. Hope that helps a little. Cheers Petra

Is there a cat door insert that will fit in the window? I had mine attached to a door with a cat door in it. I cut a hole in the netting to match the cat door. It attached between the plastic lip of the cat door and the regular door.

This cat flap is not really the kind you would want to use on an exterior wall, although you could make it work. I used it in a window and it was leading out to a covered porch. However i have 7 cats and i think it would be fine for a little wind. I have since purchased an exterior cat door ( had to get med dog door for fat cats) and it actually has 2 flaps with very strong magnets. If you are installing on outside of your house, that would be much better. However it cost 96. which is a lot more than brown cat flap.

Probably. If your cat seems to like the solid, long vertical surfaces of a door frame, this would be the closest thing, and the fact that it's sisal covered should make it more appealing than a door frame. If I had this problem, I would get this and keep a squirt bottle handy. Praise him when he uses the post, squirt him when he uses the door frame.

Yes..but you must drill tiny holes in your sliding door frame. If you live where you do not want to do that...you could put a 2x4 in the door frame on the left, so no one could slide your glass door. I did that..because it feels even more secure.That is just my own opinion. Watch a couple of You Tube videos online that show installation process, and it will help you decide if it is what you want. Hope this helps. I love these doors. I used to have one for my dog..and now I use it so my indoor cat can go out on the porch.

Hi, I bought this for wreaths on my front door. I use it on a glass surface, it is very durable and hold through the windy days and nights. It may work on a fiberglass door but I am not sure. You may want to really look at the description on Amazon. I was very impressed with this hook.
