Can this dog door be installed into a wooden garage door?

Yes ... minor adjustment due to garage door not as thick as regular door. Very simple.

I see no reason why not. I installed it in the wall next to my door. Major modifications were required, but a garage door is no thicker than a home wooden door. just be sure you leave enough room for the garage door to "bend" when it rolls up. Hope this was helpful.

The dog door comes in two halves - one for each side of your door. The two haves are connected by bolts that are long enough to go through any door (I think read 4 inch maximum thickness but no longer have the mounting instructions). The excess length of the bolts gets snipped off when you're done with installation. The minimum thickness is just over an inch.

Why through the wall? Do you have any door wood or metal that is closer to your yard? First you may need to measure the wall thickness and you may have to make a wooden frame to fit the pet door inside. My concern is if you are off in your measurements the pet door will become a nightmare. Otherwise this door fit perfect on any door.

I would say No. I know my garage doors use a prefabbed wood with a rubber flap seal, not sure of your configuration.

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.

Not really. The hinge location recesses have been chiseled out already. I guess it would be possible theoretically, but it would take a lot of hassle and woodworking.

The installation would be very simple. Just make sure the door is large enough for your dog. The one in the picture is NOT the one I got. Mine said large on it. but my dog would have never fit through it.

You need a jig saw to make the hole in the door and a drill to install. It's not hard though.

The way this product is meant to work is by filling the gap between the frame and the garage door panels. Typically wooden garage doors don't have this gap so it likely won't work.

I don't think so. This gate is designed to have the mounting hardware screwed into wood on both sides.

Even if there is, I'm not sure it's a great idea. My three Jack Russells love this door, and the freedom it gives them - they run at it full tilt, and barely without looking because they just expect it to be open. If I replaced the grey one with another solid, but clear door, I'd be afraid my dogs would break their necks because for sure they wouldn't notice which door was on. My youngest has had a couple of nasty bumps as it is when the grey one was in use.

If the wood door has metal cladding, you very likely will have a problem. Attach a short piece of copper bell wire to the push button's spiral antenna, thread it through a hole in the plastic mount and the door, and let a short length extend on the inside.

I don't think so, we have a door that's got about an inch of wood and it's not quite strong enough to get through.

Yes, it could be installed in a hollow door. It has a slide in panel to prevent use by your pet.

No, it's made to install in a door minimum 1 1/4" thick. You would have to frame it with wood first.

Yes it can, however it will require from you to have the proper tools to make the additional holes on the door for the installation.

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.
