Can I use this cat flap with a thin metal/aluminum door?

Yes, my minor issue was that my insulated garage door was too thick. Easy install on any thin door. Great product.

If you are handy, yes. We used ours on a pole building siding....which was a pain, but it worked.

Yes you can. I installed it on a regular hollow core interior door and there was a gap inbetween the to panels. It could have used the spacer that can be purchased extra. Otherwise a great product.

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.

Hi, I live in a condominium which did not allow me to have a cat door or an outdoor attachment of any kind.I have a high deck where the kittywalk contains Miss Kitty. I would think you could attach with the right hardware. Good luck!

Hi: If you need to cut the aluminum to get the pet door into the screen I do not think it will work. The pet door separates and you need to re-attach the two halves with the screen sandwiched between the two plastic pet door halves. To secure the two halves I needed to use a hammer and gently hammer the two parts of the pet door to get them to seat together. The aluminum would be too thick to sandwich between the two halves of the pet door. I suppose you could drill holes through the pet door and secure it with small bolts with the aluminum between the two halves but the pet door must be almost perfectly attached or the middle door will not swing correctly.

Not with the plastic guard flap in place, no. If it wasn't for that my cat would be able to though! I think the flap comes on the newer ones, but when I got mine last year I just had to email the company and ask for it. They sent it for free, and it was very easy to attach.

Mine already had a micro-chip and it worked with this door. I cannot say for sure because I do not know the type of micro-chip your cat has.

Probably not. The sides don't attach directly to the door and if you have a curious cat it wouldn't work as is. You could try some velcro strips on the sides.

The flap is hard plastic, but the cat would not use it until I removed the flap and replaced it with window screen. You can't please them all.

There are clear plastic flaps for doors....I haven't checked to see if they are removable, but my cat can easily go in and out and see out the clear plastic

The door is plastic, and so are the latches. They operate from the inside. Security is relative. This door will probably keep out raccoons and such, but you could kick through the door. If you are worried about human entry, don't put the cat entry within reach of the door knob. That way a person can't break the cat entry and reach in to unlock your door. I wouldn't worry about an animal defeating the latches and plastic cat door. By the way, I have a medium sized cat and a medium sized door, and there have no problems at all.

No. You need to anchor the cat door on a wood or metal door. We have ours on a thin metal screen door. Metal on the bottom half and screen on the upper half

I don't think it can. We had a difficult time Getting it to work with our cat whose microchip was where it was supposed to be. I would also recommend only installing this cat door in a wooden door. It doesn't work in doors that are primarily made I metal

Yes and no. No, you cannot wrap it with the material touching the cat. Yes, you can make an air gap heat shield bending the material to shape and securing it to the frame/body approx one inch way from cat in all places.

Yes I use mine to keep my cat from pushing the screen out. Its a decorative look on the door

This one works really well on solid and internal hollow doors as it contains a strip that is inserted between the 2 sides of the cat flap to cover the area where the door has been cut. So great for the bedroom or bathroom door and for solid external doors - as it has 2 separate sides which make a very neat look when installed. For a thin area like a garage door you may be better off with a cat flap designed for a screen or glass door. Hope that helps :)

it is a dense door system. i think an aluminum door might be a little light

as long as the metal door is steel and not aluminum or none magnetic material.

It should. I bought the short metal one and liked it better. This one is not that sturdy and too big. My cats learned to use the metal one. This door doesn't close as tight either
