Can I install this in an exterior door?

Yes. It works for doors up to 2 inches thick. For a door thicker than that, they recommend also getting a "wall liner" piece offered by Cat Mate, which ensures a continuous tunnel (no gaps).

Yes, depending on the construction of the door. I have mine mounted to our wooden garage door.

Yes you can successfully install this cat door within a metal exterior door. Follow instructions provided to cut for larger hole opening as the metal within the door interferes with the sensor and magnet on the collar.

You could build a frame to mount the door on. It's a very nice door, and worth the extra effort.

We installed these a few months ago in Buffalo, NY - one on an exterior door. Haven't seen any problem.

Hi Paul, this handle is made to install on the outside. No way you can open the door from inside if the door is locked. This handle is not solid. The handle broke after 3 months of use.

Mine is installed on a wooden exterior door. It is not insulated, but has hollow sections inside the door. If you can cut the right sized hole on both sides then you should be able to install this cat/dog door.

Yes. As far as fitting that way, there's no reason it wouldn't fit on the outside of the door. Except for the fact that you'll be able to see it!

yes it could be installed on a door with no problem, i have bough many of them and i have them everywhere I need them, specially behind my bathroom door.

you can really install it anywhere you want, my door opens from right to left so I installed it in the very right corner as your looking outside. That way I can keep the door partially open if I want, just enough for the dogs to get in and out. Works like a charm.

It surely can be mounted outside, I don't know about opening gates since I am using it to open a 12ft. shop door.

Yes. I installed mine as a porthole in an exterior door of a beachhouse. The door was 1 3/4 in thick so I had to buy longer ss sheetmetal screws.

I guess it depends on what your door is made of, and how thick it is. But I think you could safely install this on a standard wooden door.

Yes you can. You install this to the outside rail then the other door slides right passed it.

It is 2 inched deep to install in an exterior door. I made a 5 inch wide passageway through an exterior wall of the dimensions needed for the cutout and then installed the door halves in either side.worked great. no more drafts.

This unit would not be practical to mount on the outside of a door, particularly if expesed to the weather. Also, it could easily be removed, so there is a security problem. Technically, it could do that whiich describe.

Usually, you need to position and install it through peephole. But if you door frame is thin enough (like ~3 in), you can try to install in the door frame.

We installed on a door that swings inside. Not sure why you would need to install outside.

I THINK SO.You can also trim the rubber so it shows only 1 mm outside.It's there to protect the door!!!
