Can anyone tell me the cutout width of this pet door. The only place we can install has only 8" between studs.

The Ideal Pet Products website shows cutout width of 8-3/8". I would have to take mine apart to measure the exact width of the Wall Kit. I suggest you call Ideal Pet Products directly at 800-378-4385 Monday - Friday 8AM - 5PM PST and let them tell you if 8" will be enough.

Because I have it mounted in the wall, I can't give you an exact measurement. The width in the inside is right at about 8", so including the width of the plastic sleeves, you will be somewhere near 8 1/4 to 8 3/8 plus or minus. It takes a little work, but if it is that close, you should be able to shave down the studs a bit to get it in. Good luck!

The solid piece at the bottom of my door is 4" and the dogs (cockers) have no trouble at all going over it. The width of my door is 13.5". I wish I had bought it sooner!

Good afternoon, we do not have any doors that are the size of 80*48, also, we are not able to cut down the doors at our facility as it would go against the warranty. Sorry for any inconvenience, if you have anymore questions, feel free to ask! Thanks Aaron

I'm presuming the reference is to a non rated insulated metal doors. If otherwise, ensure that it's not compromising any fire ratings if such is the application.There shouldn't be any problems from the pet doors ability to accommodate. Just the cutting of the door will require a different blade, and the gap between door skins will be marginally increased. The through bolts might be long enough and if not, any good hardware store should be able to supply the correct length bolts(machine screws).

I had the same question. First, you must make sure that your opening is 30 inches at 3 separate measuring points--high, mid, and low. It probably won't be. Then take those measurements and call Dreamline directly. They were incredibly helpful and very knowledgeable about the products. I ended up ordering a different door than I had originally planned after speaking to them. They are going to need those 3 measurements to advise you. Make sure to do your homework first. You don't want to have to return this HUGE wooden crate!

Yes, you can still use the door. How wide is the slider that you intend to install the pet door into? The reason I ask is that I installed it in a rather narrow opening (it's a 5 foot slider, opening is only about 30 inches). With the pet door installed, the opening is only about 20 inches. I can go through the door, but not much else (furniture, for example). Hope this helps.

Hi,actually I was not able to fit it into my door. There was a different strip installed before. So I ended up with just buying the old type strip.

The hole that gets cut through the door is 6" x 6" but the covering frame needs 8" x 8". It sounds like you should be fine. We had a similar situation and it worked well and we love the door; sturdy, easy to use and dependable.

Studs are normally spaced 16" apart on center.The unit fits in between very tight.There's approx. 1" of lip or flange area around the opening.Nice unit.

I don't know about easily. But they should fit if you can't go with a bigger door. I would install it at least 8' from the floor for shepherds.

Thank you for your question! The cutout measurements for the Medium size are approximately 9 1/4" x 14. We recommend waiting until you have the door template in hand before creating either a new cutout or adjustments to an existing one.

15.5 width by 23.75 Length They give you a template, Only thing I did was take the door off and put it on a set of sawhorses to cut the opening of the dog door. I installed this one in a heavy duty storm door - which I had the clearance in between the doors. This is my second one and I still highly recomend it.

I'm not sure you can take up 3/8". This is designed to fit 1-3/8"-2-1/8" door. Suggest you locate viewer with the proper dimensions for your needs.

I don't think you'd have a problem. The hole that is cut is 6 1/4". You do need all of the 8x8". I checked on one of our doors with a large window and I wouldn't be able to put it there because the molding around the window would make it less than 8".

from the corner of the wall each side goes out 15 1/4" the little side panels are 5" The front where the door is is 14 1/2". If you measure out from the corner of the wall the unit is about 14 1/4". I cut out a cardboard template of these dimensions and placed it in the spot I wanted it. It really helped to see how far it came out. If you would like I can send you a diagram just email me at ldawson@sbcglobal.net and I'd be happy to attach a PDF.

On the package it looks like PetSafe is listing the rough cut out dimension for the Medium Wall Entry as 9-7/8" wide by 14-3/4" high so it would not fit if you only have 8-1/4" between the studs.
