Dog Doors for Walls
Frequently Asked Questions
How hard is it to install a pet door in a wall?
Installing an Endura Flap wall dog door takes a certain level of skill since you will need to cut through your wall without hitting any pipes or wires. We recommend hiring a professional if you are not confident in your abilities.
See the wall mount dog door installation pages for more details. See our installation guide to learn about other installation options.
What if my wall is more than 7-¾" thick? Would that prevent me from installing an in-wall dog door?
If your wall is more than 7-¾" thick, see the single flap pet door for deep walls or the double flap pet door for deep walls. Both are designed to install in walls 7-¾" to 13" thick.
Is the flap on the inside or outside for the single flap model?
The flap is on the Endura Flap pet door for the wall's interior frame, the one inside your house, for the single flap model. For the double flap dog door for walls, there is a flap installed on both the interior and exterior frame.
Why is there a difference in flap size for the single and double flap Endura dog door for walls model?
Since each flap is dual-walled, making them 7/8" thick, as the pet pushes through the first flap it will actually hit the second flap. This makes it so that there is a loss of about 1" of space at the top as they enter or exit their Patio Pacific pet door.
Can I install the in-wall doggie door on an uneven surface such as a brick wall?
Yes, Endura Flap dog doors for walls can be installed on uneven surfaces. You will just need to fill any gaps between the pet door frame and recessed surfaces with caulking to maintain insulation.
What if I want to close the pet door at night?
Every Endura Flap Pet Door comes with a Locking Cover to block access to the flap when needed.
What’s the difference between a door mount and a wall mount?
You can read about the difference between a Door Mount and a Wall Mount here.
Are replacement flaps available?
Yes, we carry replacement Endura Flaps. See our full selection of replacement parts and accessories for more replacement options.
What if I just need the wall kit?
We carry the Wall Kit here. It includes all of the parts required to mount an Endura Flap Pet Door in a wall.
Can cats and dogs share this door?
Yes, cats and dogs can share this door. However, we do not recommend flap sizes larger than the Small for cats, since these flaps are so insulating and heavy-duty.
If you need a larger flap size for your dog, you can adjust the magnet strength so that your cat can use the door.
Keep in mind that this will reduce the wind resistance of the flap. If you have a very large dog but want a door for your cat as well, you might consider installing another Endura Flap for Your Cat with a small flap size.
