It installed very easily on our shops wooden door & imagine it would install easily on a metal door using self-taping screws or pre-drilled metal screws.

You may need to pick up sheet metal screws to replace the wood screws that are supplied.

I love mine. You can screw it into a metal door if you tap into it first. I tried more than one and this was the number one best of any of them I tried!

I have used sheet metal screws on an application and it worked just fine. Be sure the use a similar screw size. Go for it!

Yes, as long as you put something non-metal between it and the metal door. You could fashion something yourself, but there is a specific accessory specifically for that, which would be the simplest option.

I put it in a metal hollow core door and it works fine for me. I've not had any problem with the magnets.

It mounts to wood flat surfaces with wood screws internal to the box to prevent access or removal without combination. Good question on mounting to metal door frame. I would not be confident of any type bonding agent as it could be overcome by chemical reactions. If the door can be drilled through, I would recommend machine screws that are long enough to go through the door where lock washers and nuts could be used.

Gosh, that's tricky! I'm not sure but this little guy has rubber grips so on my slippery metal door casing it holds a really heavy door open! It's inexpensive enough to give it a try!

It has a mount you can see in this picture that has 3 large screws that are it's main mount. I would not think you would want to drill into metal frame. You would also need different screws as these are for wood.

The hooks are metal and could scratch the door, but you could easily wrap the edges in felt or something similar to prevent them from doing any damage.

Yes, you could screw this to a door. There are holes on the back plate where the suction cups are inserted. Since you would be screwing the plate to the door, you would have no need for the cups. There is a half dome in the center of the backplate which contains a magnet. The mirror is detachable from this area; this also allows the mirror to swivel. The light is turned on by depressing a button on the back of the mirror near where it rests against the magnet. To replace the batteries, detach the mirror from the backplate. While holding its metal base, pull the mirror portion straight out. The dimensions are 5 inches in diameter, and projects out about 2.5 inches. Also comes with a black velveteen drawstring pouch.

Probably not because you have to screw it in the door or else it moves whenever you open/close the door.

No, it's made to install in a door minimum 1 1/4" thick. You would have to frame it with wood first.

I checked the manual and it does have instructions on how to install on a metal garage door. It's a great product!! It did take a very long time to train my cat to use it but worth it in the end

We installed ours in the wall, not a door. You should be able to install it regardless of the thickness of your wall or door. The plastic flap is only 3/8" thick, but it closes & seals shut instantly with the magnets every time our dog uses it.

You might be able to use screws designed for metal. It's difficult to answer with seeing the piece though.

These are magnetic to be used on a metal door only. The part that sticks to the door is a solid piece. Take picture of your bracket to home depot or Lowes so you can see what would work.

All I did was hook it inside a standard door frame. There is nothing that requires tools and you can switch to any door. Super easy. Im sure there are videos on you tube on how to install. It's really just a slide into place and nothing more

These doors can be installed into a metal door, however there are special instructions for doing so. They suggest in the installation manual cutting the opening in the door a little larger or possibly using a mounting adapter to prevent the pet door from touching the metal on the door.
