What is the cutout width for the medium door? The place we want to install it only has 8 1/4" between the studs. Is this going to be wide enough?

I have the large size and The cut out width is 11 inches. That is one inch bigger than the flap size. I can not find the flap side on the medium door. So I am unsure if it would fit in the 8 1/2 inch space that you have.

I don't remember what the box said but the cut out was about 9 1/2 so that spot probably won't work for you.

On the package it looks like PetSafe is listing the rough cut out dimension for the Medium Wall Entry as 9-7/8" wide by 14-3/4" high so it would not fit if you only have 8-1/4" between the studs.

Thank you for your question! The cut-out width of the Medium Wall Entry Pet Door is 9 7/8", so it unfortunately will probably be a bit too large to fit between the studs.

I installed this door recently and it fits into a 30" door opening. 30"x80" is the nominal size. It actually measures 29-7/8" x 79-1/2". This is necessary to accommodate the hardware.

The strip is one and a half inches tall, and by the time you apply the adhesive to the door you lose the half.It's not going to fill a gap of much over an inch - it might be enough in your case, but you are probably better off with something wider (or an exterminator and a government building inspector).

I think it is made for the standard double wall (3 1/2 inch stud with drywall added inside and siding outside). I put it in a single wall (1 inch thick), by adding a frame around the outside of the hole. I don't know how you would fit it into an 8 inch thick wall, without some kind of adjustment to the wall.

I recently used them with full 1" thick doors which worked but made the install very tight ..........7/8"should be no problem.

Clearly per the installation video the actual cut out is 7.5 inches. Watch the video. I think people are confusing the door opening (for the cat) with the cut out.

The door I have this installed on is 1 3/4" inches thick, according to the instruction manual, the main cut-out hole must be 2 1/8 inches, the latch cut-out must be 1 inch. Hope this helps...and do use decent quality batteries!

With the unit cover on, it measures 12 7/8 by 17 7/8. I can't remove the cover to obtain the exact cutout dimensions. The installer caulked around it.

It fits a 2-5/8" door smoothly. Would not fit any wider door. It is not adjustable.

I was able to install without morticing on both of my doors, you should be able to as well unless your door/jamb is tighter than usual, if you have an 1/8" or more you'll be good.

It is designed to fit between the studs in the wall so has to be real close. Studs are 16" on center normally which would be 14 1/2"" width. Mine fit no problem cutting the Sheetrock to the edge of the studs. Plus it overlaps the Sheetrock

Unless they changed the product since I bought it, the aluminum is definitely NOT 2.8" wide. It should fit fine on your door--the screws locate along the center of the track, not on the edges, so attaching won't be a problem.

I had this hardware installed by a handyman. We ordered a wider door (40"?) from Home Depot and it was 1-1/2" thick. The bottom track that comes w/this unit is for a door that's 1" thick (that's what handyman said), so we're going to use something else to keep bottom of door from swinging out. All in all, the track is great....really quiet and rolls easily.

The glass door I put it on is 1/8". it looks as if the hinge would support a slightly larger thickness, may be 3/16", but I don't think 1/4" would fit in the hinge. THis is just an observation/guess. I hope this helps.

Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for the inquiry! We are very sorry to inform you that unfortunately not as we confirmed from the manufacturer. This door was designed for 46 - 46 1/8" wide opening. But we can suggest an alternative products that are adjustable form 46" to 47". There must be some kind of spacer between the wall and the profile to narrow your opening to at least 46 3/16. If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us. We always look forward to serve you better. Best Regards, Sales Team

I don't think you would be happy with the fit. The base is reinforced but with a narrow door opening, it will probably rip the sides. Mine did not fit well and ripped during installation. The door opening I have is 8 ft. Also the floor mounted anchors will probably get in your way while loading / unloading.

Hey Paul, the holes are approximately 16" apart from center. That is the standard stud width inside your home, but that's not always the case. My stud width inside my was about 17", so I got a couple of 2x4s and bridged the studs. The I installed the unit. I hoped this helped.
