Can I install a pet door through a wall?

You can install a pet door through a wall. The PlexiDor dog doors  are available for door or wall installation. The door kit makes it easy to install the pet door through a standard house door. A somewhat handy person can do this themselves and it doesn’t take long.

The house door isn’t always the best place for the pet door – sometimes a wall fits better. The PlexiDor wall kits can be installed in cement, stud, brick or block walls up to 12 inches thick. (24 inch wall kits are available.  Please call our office for details. ) The kits come with an aluminum tunnel to connect the interior and exterior frame.

When you install a pet door through a wall it can be trickier than installing through a door – it is more difficult to make a hole in the wall than through a door. (An important tip is cutting from the outside – keep the mess outside the house!) You also need to check if it’s a load-bearing wall or not.

Watch some of the installation training video to see  how to install a PlexiDor through different forms of walls.
