Can it be installed in the drywall encasing sliding doors?

If you are referring to pocket doors, I don't believe so. The majority of the hook is in the back side of the wall. Most pocket doors fit pretty snuggly, so I don't believe it would work. Sorry.

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.

Yes. I would just make sure to install at a stud in the wall - at least on the hinge side. If I remember correctly, the screws were pretty long. If the screws are not long enough you can just get longer ones at a hardware store.

No. That would not be wise. Drywall insufficient to support a person's weight. Must be installed into wood surface behind drywall. By definition, a pocket door location would not have adequate interior support.

Yes. The mounts stick out 3.5 inches from the wall. So the door must be thinner than that.

I don't recommend for you to install it in drywall. To heavy for it. But if you want to risk it, the box comes with drywall plugs and screws.

Yes . . . It's designed for a swinging gate or door and will NOT work on a sliding door. Perfect for a pool area door.

I would think so. I have two inner sliders that could be lifted I imagine. If you can drive a couple screws just above(not touching) the doors, they could not be pried up. All doors have some free room above for installation, but adding the screws removes the upward play I am told. Good luck.Tom

Yes it can be installed in doors as long as ventilation requirements are met

Yes, so long as the wall thickness is not more than the maximum allowed (and even then there are ways round it).

Probably. But I would talk to someone at a home store(lowes/Home Depot) or ask a glass store or tile store. I personally wouldn't do it. I would hire someone. It was fine installing on drywall.

Yes...as long as there is wood or solid material to hold the screws. You use a template to locate the screws and the unit slides over the screws.

Yes it can. Standard drywall screw with a small washer, and you're in business ...:)

It will work in dry wall. I still would try to get at least 1 screw into a stud just for added safety.

yes that will work... it comes with a piece of material to fill the gap between the interior/exterior sections if the door is too thick. realistically, if you can fabricate a spacer of appropriate width, there is no limit to the thickness of whatever install you have. It is entirely possible to install it through a wall, cinderblock fence, etc.

Yes, but it must be dry. Not suitable for wet or damp situations. Check your local building code also to be sure your installation is compliant.

no, you will have to find some other way to mount it. The tabs provided are for half inch drywall.
