Will this door work on an outside wall or does it have to be used on a door?

We mounted ours on a piece of plywood and put it in the window (kind of like a room air conditioner). It's not as thick as a door. We believe there is an attachment you can buy to make it work for a door or wall.

Recommended for thin doors and screens up to 1/2-inch thick. You have to find add the wall liner: Cat Mate Wall Liner

Actually we bought two, one is on a door and the other is on a pole building wall. The second was a lot harder to install because the wall is beveled, but my husband made it work. Hope this helps.

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.

I used two, one outside and one in, to go through an outside wall next to my slider door. I located the studs, and cut through the plaster on the inside, and the cedar shingles on the outside. Then cut a small piece of 1/2" plywood to serve as the "floor" for the passage way. Kitty loves it, though it took her a few days to feel comfortable with it.

I guess you could put it in a wall. I suppose no one does this because you are stuck with the door forever whereas in a door, you could just switch it out.

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 used it on the door that goes to my basement with no issue. I didn't think it was made for exterior doors to begin with.

Yes it will work. You will need to get extra weather stripping. This is an excellent alternative to wall doors

In the description it says it is safe for outdoor installation, we never installed it outside. The base shown in the image has screw holes in it and is what you would use to mount it outside. It comes with screws to be able to mount it to a wall or some type of support.

Im not sure. I saw 1 guy on utube had it mounted to his garage wall but I think it would be safer and easyer to just put it on the door. Whatever you put it on just make definitly sure its very stable.

It is made of an unfinished wood. To use it outside you would have to put some kind of finish on it to protect it from the elements. Other than that it would work.

While this could be used on practically any door, it would likely interfere with the weatherstripping on any entry door. You would be better served by a door knob cover/lever lock.

I used it on the outside door with no problems at all no rain got in nothing abnormal I will also note that I bought a second one of these as well it works so good .good luck

You would need to use anchors no matter what type of wall. The eyelets that came with the gate do not support normal use. (Opening the gate several time a day. There is a push lock at the top to release the gate to open (not like a door, it slides). Not a good design if the area is a normal passageway.

Should work may stick out a little,My door is in an exterior wall from my garage to outside, so far we love it. Is a little loud when swings closed but you get use to it.My dogs love the freedom.

I used installed it on my exterior storm door. Not sure if that's what you are asking though.

Mine is installed on an exterior stucco wall. You will need a concrete drill bit and concrete screw. As long as you have the right drill bit and screw, there is no reason it can't be installed on a concrete wall.

It will not work on a door that opens out. I didn't realize that when I bought mine.

It probably doesn't matter. In an instance where it would not be feasible to mount on the door frame or wall where the door would strike the bell, door mounting would work because the arm is made of spring steel and will shake the bell when the door is opened.

Could this be used on bottom of door instead of top/what do I use for this?

If you've got enough space in front of the door (that you use to hang it from), it works that same as if it was form the outside.It includes a short tube for holding it with closed door.
