    Q:will this work on a steel door or only on solid wood

    Answer This Question

    A:  Yes it will work, the hardest part would be the cutting of the opening. I has it's own frame that will seal off the gap between the inner and outer door panels. I installed the doggie door in the patio screen door, just had to add two upright aluminum struts and install the door between them and install the screen each side. I wipe it with dish soap as the oils from the dogs fur builds up after use.

      A:  I believe it would work on both as long as the door is the proper thicknesses and you have the proper tools tools to fabricate the door opening as per instructions.

            A:  Both. I used mine on a solid wood door but will work on both. Great Fit and quality.

            by|Feb 6, 2022

              A:  Additional tools and materials may be required. NOTE: As with any home improvement project, if you do not have the tools or skills to properly install your pet door, we suggest using a professional handyperson or licensed contractor.

                                  Q:My home of 23 years came with this pet door and it worked very well for the big cats I used to have, may they RIP. But now I have a much smaller cat, and I wish to convert this pet door to a small opening and less of a heavy flap. Can you advise me? thank you
