can this cat door be installed on a garage door?

Yes, it can be. Obviously you would need to cut a whole in the garage door.

I suppose it could. The manual gives instructions for installing the cat door in a glass panel; I reckon a garage door would be easy by comparison. I would be careful, though, about installing it in a garage door with an automatic opener. The cat could get stuck in the flap if s/he were trying to pass through it while the garage door was opening. Automatic or otherwise, you would also need to make sure the thickness of the frame around the cat flap did not interfere with the mechnism of opening the door. So, the short answer would be: installation is no problem; operation may be a problem. I suppose it could.

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 didn't install ours on a garage door, but see no reason why it couldn't be

Your cat door would have to be pretty low or you would need to rig the funhouse to raise up a bit. The opening for the funhouse is only about 6 inches from the ground and our cat door is about 12 inches from the ground so it wouldn't work with ours. Hope that helps.

Like others have said, you would first need to cut a piece of plywood to the dimensions of the window opening. Then you would simply install the cat door into the plywood. Obviously the window would be unlocked which may or may not be a concern for you.

I think it depends on the size of the cat. The latches on the doors are small and a big cat may be able to push the big door open part way. This would be excellent if you add extra, sturdier door latches.

I just measured the door in which I placed this cat door. The large door has a width of 3.5 cm. I don't think an extra .5 cm would be a problem.

Yes. It is wedged between the door frame with adjustable screws.As for the cat door, it generally with stayopen, but you can tie it back to the main frame

No. You need to anchor the cat door on a wood or metal door. We have ours on a thin metal screen door. Metal on the bottom half and screen on the upper half

Yes. Only 1 end will fit on the kitty door. So if it doesn't attach to the zipper, turn it around & it should work on the other end.

It should work, one of ours is about 14 pounds and he goes through just fine. The only issue I have had with this door is that the flap is tinted. Our cats used to chase each other through the door into the garage. The first time I slid the hard door down to block off entry, one of my cats slammed into it full bore. Now they all check it with their paw first!

I don't think so. There is a minimum thickness of the door in order to install the pet door.

I can, because the cat door has a way of staying put, so it doesn't just fall out when you slide open a door. It has worked out well for me. I like the way you can control the in/out activity. I'd recommend the door.

It is certainly possible but this stuff works best when it is able to be tucked into the c channels of aluminum doors. So you can install it but the edges may not have anything to hold the from hanging down when the door is in the open position.

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

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 resultsFrankOk, 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.

In looking at the installation instruction I would say no. But they do have an IDrive system from Wayne Dalton that will work with this type of door.

I can't say for sure but we mounted on a panel door to our basement. That actually ended up being to thin so we had to adjust for it to work. Check the actual door you want to get and see if they have the measurement (some slide to different widths) and measure your wall. I can tell you it is a great door, the flap works well and the cat uses it all the time. Makes life much easier.
