    A:  I mounted mine and it looked great. Only problem, I mounted it backwards. Had to disassemble and reassemble. It will mount in a 1 1/2 inch door. I had to shim my garage door with a 1/4 plywood to tighten things up.

      Answer This Question

      A:  The space you need to install this pet door needs to be at least 4" taller than the pet door height. I doesn't look at me like you have that much height in the bottom panel of your storm door.

      A:  As this pet door is designed for a single track standard aluminum sliding patio door, we suggest you contact EMCO/Anderson directly.

                  A:  The short answer short answer is yes, but you would need to do some casting work as the unit will not reach through a wall without leaving a gap between the inside and outside trim frames.

                  A:  If it is the same brand and model it will fit. Each brand has their own exact measurements. I would measure the cutout hole in your door EXACTLY to be sure.

                  by|Nov 25, 2019

                    A:  Sorry, it will not fit that cut out. The minimum, tight, rough opening is 10.75 W x 17.125 H.

                      A:  Probably not. The pet door is too tall for a standard garage roll up door.

                                A:  It would take some Carpentry work, its not as wide as a 2 x 4. The flap would allow cold and heat into your space, and intruders. The plastic cover will not help. The storm door is the best place.

                                  A:  Install using the template that is included with the pet door. We recommend filling any gaps between the pet door flame and panels with caulking.
