can this door be mounted in a wall?

Yes. But... you will need a few DIY skills. Depending on which wall; interior to exterior or interior to interior, some trim work will be necessary. You will need to get longer hardware (screws) if you still wish to use the "clam-shell" feature to secure the product to the new wall cavity. It can be done.

Yes. It can. You need to check with your handyman. My husband is a carpenter and installed it in about an hour in our wall that was about 6 inches thick. He added some plastic in the pass through areas.

It is designed to be mounted in a door. A wall will be 4 times thicker, but you could definitely make it work if you are resourceful.

I installed it in successfully in the wall of my shed because there was no insulation or drywall involved. As others have noted, it is possible, if you buy the mounting kit or are creative and/or skilled enough. To install one in a typical home wall you should look for one specifically engineered for that location. Wall models usually have double flap doors to keep the weather out better and will have a section that extends into the the wall to keep the insulation where it should be.

Plastic frame adapts to fit standard doors of 1-1/4 in. to 1-3/4 in. thicknessI have mine installed into a screened in patio (installed in 2 inch frame). I'm thinking this one is for doors rather than walls. If you picked up some longer screws, I'm sure it could be installed in a wall though.

yes it can, but i would recommend buying the mounting kit if your wall is thicker than about 6inches deep. Its more aesthetically pleasing. I built a makeshift one with a couple 2x4's and then painted them white. But if i had to redo it i would buy the mounting kit

Not designed for a wall, but can be extended up to 2 inches - it would have to be a thin wall like enclosed porch/patio thin walled type. As for a standard house wall - NO! There are those designed for walls - check the thickness you will need then look under the description for the thickness size. I would NOT use this in a wall. The wall style also is more insulated and durable.

I suppose you could, but you would probably need to put a piece of wood in there and then put the door into that. It would take some extra work, but you may be able to make it work.

I guess you could put it in a wall. I suppose no one does this because you are stuck with the door forever whereas in a door, you could just switch it out.

Yes. It can be mounted anywhere assuming you have the given amount of space necessary. The installation screws aren't very long, so I doubt they'd go through the door.

Absolutely. My boyfriend installed it in a cheap, thin wooden door, (installed by a cheap landlord:).

While this product is designed for a door, I don't see why it couldn't be installed on an interior wall. A lot depends on how thick the wall is that you're talking about. There is some expansion capability with the cat door but I don't think it's more than a few inches. It would probably be a good idea to frame it if it's going to get a lot of use, but I think a lot depends on the type of wall that were talking about. You would probably want to frame drywall for example. And for the price you just can't go wrong. Good luck.

Yes, you can put it in a wall, just make sure it is installed right, would work just great.Make sure you follow the installation and use lots of common sense.

No, it has brackets to keep it in place so unless you can figure out a way to get it to stay (maybe screws?) I don't really think it can mount to a wall.

I am guessing that it could. When I mounted it in a window, a metal sleeve was mounted first; then the unit slid into it. I would imagine the sleeve could be inserted into a wall opening.

It would have more to do with the construction of the door than the walldog screws. A veneer skinned door like most interior passageway/bedroom rooms made in the last few decades just will not have enough material to hold anything of any real weight. Steel skinned exterior doors would have a better chance.I would say at best it would be 'iffy' but possible with the correct conditions the variables being the door and not the hardware. I have no reservations about the hardware doing the job, just where you are looking to mount it.

No, you do not *have to* make holes in the door. You simply attach the hanging brackets and then hang it from the top of your door. Depending on the thickness of your door, it may have a snug or loose fit. If you prefer it to be snug against the door, then you can use the screws but you do not have to. I mounted mine on the wall because I have a longer ironing board due to my over 6' tall family members. ☺

You could mount appropriate hinges in a stud and the side of this or similar unit. It only needs mounting as shown if you're using the door hinges.

Yes it can, the door hooks are perforated and so the hooks can be snapped off. There are holes on the remaining attachments that can be screwed into the wall. Beware though, once you snap off the hooks you cannot use the remaining attachment to hang over a door.

Looks like it could be wall mounted without a problem. It has a flat plastic plate with the appropriate slots. you only need a few screws.

You'd have to do too much finagling to get it to work given the thickness of the wall. The pet door is designed for the thickness of a door. Too much of a construction project. I'd look for one designed to go in a wall. Good luck!

If you used an appropriate screw with anchor system you could (anchor because most doors are hollow core). If solid door no issue at all and a good idea. We have 4 of them. :)
