Are you able to install this type of door to a solid wood gargarage door? I noticed that in the video it was a hollow door.

I don't see any problem with that if the door is thick enough. They also make one for thin doors like storm doors. For the one I used the thickness of the door needed to be at least 1.25 inches. Most garage doors have a thick frame with thin panels but some of the insulated ones are thick enough. I'm assuming that you're asking about the roll up door. If its just the entrance door it will be fine.

As long as the thickness of your door does not exceed the measurements, it should work. However, if your door thickness is less than the measurements of the door, you'll have to add some type of spacers. I hope this helps.

As long as the door can be cut through for the insertion, it will work. Only a scenario such as a solid steel door would prevent installation.

I installed it in a hollow metal door, so not positive, but I don't think you should have any problem. It may just take you a bit more work to cut through more material. Both our dogs only took a couple tried to figure out how to use it as well.

We have old schoolhouse doors with strange 1920s door frames- so we actually had to build another extra piece to get them to work in our application. The door closer itself is pretty straight forward- if you have modern doors and standard tools, I don't believe you should have any problems installing them.

First of all... I LOVE this product! I've had it for several years, and I still think it's just great. To answer your question, I guess it would depend on the type of door. If it's solid, then sure you could screw it into a door, though you might have to get shorter screws so they don't poke through the other side. If you're talking about a hollow door, however, I couldn't answer you very well. I used anchors to hold mine firmly in place so that I could feel comfortable hanging a lot of clothes on it. Maybe you can do a quick internet search to see if DIY's recommend any particular anchors you can use on hollow doors??? Hope this helps! First of all... I LOVE this product!

You can use a hollow core or any other type door or slab. They all work just fine.

Yes. I installed mine on a double panel door. I filled in the gap with wood filler where the door indented for the panel. It is strictly a cosmetic issue and work work just fine without the filler but I wanted it to look smooth.

I think so too. My door is a thin piece of plywood, maybe 1/8th inch thick. If not you could probably stuff it with something to keep it from being loose. I am pretty sure it would look okay.

Presuming your metal door is foam core like the one I did, it can certainly be installed but cutting the metal requires a pretty heavy duty Sawzall or similar. I made a pretty big mess of the cut and the directions lead you to put the template upside down. The good news is that the large width of the frame covered the irregular and jagged edges of the cut.

There were two screws provided... One is a wood screw type that doesn't go all the way through the door. You can use that one if you have a solid wood door but wouldn't provide sufficient holding power on a hollow fiber or steel door type. The other is a machine type screw that does go all the way through the door from the outside and has a finished threaded "button" fitting on the inside for hollow core doors. That's the one I had to use. Just shows up on the inside as a 5/16" or so button looking thing on the inside. Doesn't look bad at all.

I'd go along with everyone else and say if it's hollow you might need different attachments than screws (can't think of what they call the ones for hollow walls). However, you can mount it on the wall behind a door. Should function about the same.

Yes, and ours has worked perfectly for years. We framed the hole on wood And painter it with semi gloss paint. Then we screwed the door onto the wood with screws that we purchased ourselves. Be sure to cut the hole small enough that you can screw onto the wood frame. I think this is stronger than installing it the way it is intended.

Thank you for your interest in the Patio Panel! We do offer an instructional video on how to install these types of doors found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMKdzHizatM .

Yes. I have it installed this way. However, its possible there are exceptions to this. My door had pre-drilled holes and mortises, which I believe are standardized.

If you mean the bottom half of your door is a solid piece of thin aluminum, I would think you could make it work providing you have the proper tools.

I tried securing the center sections by tying ropes around the door and putting velcro on the back of the climber. I tried removing the molding around the door jamb. I was on the brink of putting bolts through the door, which I just know would have splintered the hollow door, when I gave up. I took the climber down and donated it to the Humane Society. I paid over $90 for this item, I didn't have that kind of money to spare, and buying it was an expensive mistake. I hope other buyers can give you more helpful answers. I thought you should at least know what DOESN'T work.

I don't think it matters whether the door is metal or wood. If you look at the end that goes under the door, there needs to be enough clearance for the alarm to fit under the door. It's not absolutely flat. Seems to me that's the only issue.

Contact either the manufacturer or the vendor from whom you bought it. Sad to say it sounds like you may need to drill a hole into the door and then cut it open. Maybe you can cut the Sheetrock underneath and pull the door down. Good luck!

There are straps that wrap around to the back of the door and kind of wrap the door with the anchor itself. You have to crank down on the straps to get it really tight so don't do it on a flimsy door. I was actually worried my solid wood exterior door would start cracking but so far so good.
