I am looking for a cat door that I can install on a panel door. It is an insulated exterior door. Is there any reason this would not work?

This would be great. I had two at two different houses. I used it for about 10 years.

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.

Should work may stick out a little,My door is in an exterior wall from my garage to outside, so far we love it. Is a little loud when swings closed but you get use to it.My dogs love the freedom.

I also have an insulated exterior door that I installed the Dog mate into...it was a little more difficult to cut but it works

Mine is installed on a wooden exterior door. It is not insulated, but has hollow sections inside the door. If you can cut the right sized hole on both sides then you should be able to install this cat/dog door.

It shouldn't be a problem, but you may have to fill in some empty space with foam or the like. Won't be too aesthetically pleasing but it probably won't be bad. Maybe level the foam and caulk it over nearly

I don't see why not. It works on all sized doors because it's 2 pieces, you attach each 1/2 to each side.

I have the same problem but cats vs dogs, I will order this and try it on the top of door but move it closer to the hinge side to open up the door more, I'll let you know the results Frank Ok, I installed on the top edge of the door about midway, it works fine to allow cats to their box. You have to be tall enough to unlatch when you enter though and overall it seems easy to break if you forget to unlatch, I wish it was stronger.

the standard internal doors here are 1 1/4" and the external a tad bigger. The plastic insert can be trimmed to size to fit the internal door width . Although the external door should be solid so may not seed to use the insert. I dont have on currently fitted, the recent purchase is for the bathroom door when we finish building our house, the box is packed away, so cant do actual measurements sorry. This is the site I used to help me choose http://www.catflaps.com/contents/en-uk/d45_catmate_cat_flaps.htmlhope I helped.Cheers

Yes, that is exactly why I purchased it and it did wonders. It even works to keep my cat away from my exterior door.

I purchased 2 of these doors. However, both were installed on doors, 1 solid wood & the other is a hollow paneled one. There's a max thickness they're good for. Go beyond that & I think you'd need to improvise. I had a contractor/friend install both of mine & they've been great for getting litter boxes into my basement.

No idea.. best to look at dimensions of door....then cat and see if door will work.

The post is covered with woven sisal so if your cat likes that texture it would probably work. Your cat may be using the door frame because it gives him a full stretch which this post will also do. I hope this information helps.

I purchased this for my outside cat and she loves it! I taped plastic over the charcoal filter, even though it is kept on our covered porch. My only issue is that the swinging door has a tendency to fall off, which might be resolved with some plastic rip-ties. It's definitely an inexpensive option for outside pet shelter. I put a small pillow & pet pad that reflects the cat's body heat (purchased the pet pad from Amazon).

I would not count on it since there are two door openings. The heating pad is just enough to make the cat more comfortable while sitting inside.we have not gone thru cold weather yet plus the cats have not used it yet.

I mounted mine on an aluminum storm door. The bottom panel is only about 1/8th inch thick and it works great. As long as your panel is bigger than the door (14.5 wide x 17.5 tall) you shouldn't have any problem. I bought new bolts to length instead of cuttng them.

Yes you can. BUT you have to install it very well not to have a slight opening/a crack, so to speak, that lets in cold air. Must be aligned perfectly which we couldn't quite achieve. So we wound up putting strips of clear weatherproof tape all down that crack which meant we can't slide open the door without tearing lose the tape. But, it is so convenient for the cats, we are living with a door that can't be open.

If you wanted to put more and larger windows in the top make it more airey, maybe! I have to agree with the rest of the comments/replys. I would not put my cats into it but all my cats have been indoor/outdoor cats and use an animal door which I have installed in every house we have lived in to go outside. Cats are fast learners!

The panel does not fit great into the given slots. But you can wedge it into slot and get it to work. Our door is in the wall and the locking panel is hard to get in. It is actually slightly too large for the area its supposed to fit into.But it does keep the weather outside and latches closed pretty tightly. Our cat used to use the dog door but does not anymore since it is too heavy for him to push against.

I am Sure it would work great for cats!! We have two pugs and even big dogs this will help with. My kitty uses a doggy door but I am sure it would work great for cats also. They do not like the feel of scratching on the plastic! Saves from all that sanding and painting !! We love our! Good Luck hope this helps

Cats could probably easily enter. There is another one a friend told me about that has a magnetic bottom panel. If you're worried about cats I would suggest finding on like that

Hi, I live in a condominium which did not allow me to have a cat door or an outdoor attachment of any kind.I have a high deck where the kittywalk contains Miss Kitty. I would think you could attach with the right hardware. Good luck!

I installed one on a door with a pet panel. I just used a hacksaw to cut it to fit. (MEASURE CAREFULLY!)
