Will this work in an exterior wall approximately 6.5" thick. or is it only for a door installation? Thank you!

You could make it work. You'll need longer fasteners and there will be a 3.5" - 4" gap between between the ends, so I'd advise you forge something to bridge that. Maybe punch the bottom out of an appropriatly sized cookie-tin from the grocery store. This would likely be cheaper than any kit you could buy. The price alone is worth the door's 4 way lock.(4 ways: this way, that way, both ways, no ways.)

It won't work as is but it's just 2 pieces that screw into each other so if you could find bolts long enough I think you could make it work. The door is on one piece, the other side is just a similar frame and they screw together flush to whatever door or wall. It locks in either direction as well.

Not sure. I didn't need it with my installation. Put this in a regular metal exterior door. No issues with installation.

we used this on a pantry door. normal thickness. you will likely need to use anchors or wing nuts.

You can feel a steel stud in a 5/8" sheetrock wall but it will not stick to it. Limited to about 1/4-1/2" of depth.

I don't remember the actual length of hardware or thickness of brackets, but I absolutely do not recomment using the mounting hardware (i.e. screws and anchors) that come with this gate. Gate should be mounted directly into a stud and you will need longer screws than what comes with the gate to accomplish this. The screws that come with this gate are WAY too short to effectively reach into a wall stud once it goes through the mounting bracket and drywall.

I have installed this on my entrance door which is Metal and did worked well, as ling as the thickness of the door match and the distance between lock hole the edge of the door is right, this will work fine.

It is 7/16 thick. I imagine it should work fine on a storage facility, but you might want measure it. I used it to lock a moving truck door with no problems. Hope that helps. It's a great lock.

I've only used on a screen but the specifications note the maximum thickness with the basic unit. There is additional option (wall liner) that allow applications thicker than a door.

It would not work without cutting a section out of the weather strip. I used on exterior diir and has to cut about a 1 1/2" section out of the weather strip to get it to work. Other than that it works great. Old house and the bottom of the door always had movement and now it is secure.

I suppose it would work, but it's pretty narrow. Unless you're only protecting a narrow part of your wall, this might be a little awkward to stick all over. Maybe a sheet of clear plastic from the hardware store would work better. Or a door stop.

Yes. It can. You need to check with your handyman. My husband is a carpenter and installed it in about an hour in our wall that was about 6 inches thick. He added some plastic in the pass through areas.

No it is not 5" thick. It is less than half an inch in thickness and when mounted is still less than 3/4 inch out from the wall.

A standard wall stud will do. I believe i have mounted it onto a 12" stud. Try to mount it on you larges stud if you have varied studs. Not sure if they come this small but i believe it would work on a 6" too

The specific cat door I purchased and the one in the picture I have been asked to review, is recommended for "thin doors and screens up to 1/2-inch thick." I installed it into a 1/2 thick screen porch wall...anything thicker, such as an interior wall or typical door would not work for this specific product. You need to get a cat door recommended for whatever thickness your wall or door is. I did not have to frame the opening...just cut out the hole and the door itself acted as the frame.

No, it assumes either a door thickness within the specs or a solid door. In my case, it was installed in a thick, solid door and we just had to use longer screws.

I installed this item in two doorways last year. Only about 1/4" thick. Work really well and sustained the winter, but use lots of adhesive when putting down.

I don't know why they have those dimensions. You do get some extra length though. I would estimate the thickness as just over 1/2" at the thickest part. I'm sure it would work good, but don't make my mistake in thinking it could replace the rubber insert at the bottom of my garage doors-not thick enough for that.
