What is the exact hole size I need to cut? I want to put it in the bottom solid section of door with large window and only have a little over 8"

Clearly per the installation video the actual cut out is 7.5 inches. Watch the video. I think people are confusing the door opening (for the cat) with the cut out.

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".

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.

The hole that gets cut through the door is 6¼" x 6¼" 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.

Description says it fits "36 to 48 inch" so it will be longer than you need for your 35 1/8" opening. You will have to cut it down to fit. We have some doors that are only 28" so yes it still works if you cut it smaller than 36".

I can't even imagine cutting the glass and then securing it with screws. I'd have to refer you to a glass shop. This works fine on our 2-inch thick door. But glass? Sounds scary to me. Good luck.

I had the same problem. The dimensions you list are the outside dimensions, what will be covered by the door and it's trim. The 1.9" is the maximum thickness of door it will work with, the door will telescope into itself to work with a variety of thicknesses (1.25" to 1.75"). The opening the cat will go through is right about 10.5" X 7.5" The hole that needs to be cut is 13 5/8" X 8 5/8" (this is close, measuring off the template, I suspect the actual dimensions are metric).

There is no good place to measure, but from memory when I cut a hole in the bottom it is about 1/8", but not more than 3/16"

You should cut two different holes, on one side use the template provided (about 12x9 inch irregular shape) plus mounting holes, on the other side about 8 inch round hole. If you buy the unit, it will be apparent.

It would not be possible to cut the width from the doors. I did need to trim the top and bottom of mine since my opening was only. 72 inches

Piwo's numbers are the closest. I'm installing this in a plastic dash that is only 1/8" or thinner and I want it tight. I will be cutting a hole 22mm wide (a little under 7/8") and 36mm tall (barely under 1-7/16"). If that isn't really tight, I will use Ba Pa's method of using a file to gradually increase the size. If the material you're installing this into is 1/8" or thicker, you should be fine with the 1-1/2" height an 7/8" width.

Donna I believe up to 2 1/4" door. Instead of drilling the door if you already have a peep hole , my suggestion is to get a cheap reamer with t handle and just ream until you get the fight size.

I one I -purchased jsut slide on the bottom of the door. I had to trim it though due to its length. I used a pair of pvc cutters to do the trimming.

I used this for my own homemade door panel. The item is 3/4 inch long spike, it needs a 1/4 or less hole to press into. If your application can handle these sizes it should work.

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.

as long as you have a relatively flat roof, where you can cut a hole approximately 36 inches wide by 17 inches deep,and nothing on the inside which would prohibit you cutting the , it would probably work. since you are going through the motions, put in about as big window width and depth wise that you can. are good windows. I'm driving around now with the glass outcompletely.it's a snap putting in and taking outthe glass insert.

I have the large size and The cut out width is 11 inches. That is one inch bigger than the flap size. I can not find the flap side on the medium door. So I am unsure if it would fit in the 8 1/2 inch space that you have.

The cut out dimensions are 15 x 25.5. The outside edges of the door measure 19 x 28. The existing hole you have is smaller than the door itself, so it should work. The two halves of the door screw together and have rubber gaskets on each side. As long as the gaskets are touching the door all the way around, you shouldn't have a problem. But you could always call the company if you arent sure. We have two of these doors installed in our house and we love them.

It would take some fancy footwork and woodworking skills to trim these doors to 40 inches. It might be achieved if you could reattach the top (or bottom) frame piece to your cut, but I'm not sure those pieces would be easily removed or reaffixed.

3 feet by 6.5 feet, this product cuts easily with regular everyday scissors. I found it easiest to cut slightly larger than the window and trim after applying. I used their instillation kit, which I found at Menards (amazon also has it) it's around $8. I think you could use a razor blade to trim it if you don't want to spend the money. It comes with a solution to apply and a smoothing tool in addition to the cutter. I think at the least you would need the solution to install this product.
