can item easily be installed in a wood door with a metal backing?

the mail slot has two pieces. One for the inside and one for the outside, so I think it will work on any door. The hole in my door was a bit small so I had to carefully file it out a bit larger. Also I had to drill 4 holes for the pins that connect front to back. Other than that, you can put it together with a screw driver. Its not weather proof by any means. I get some cold air in the winter. It is solid metal and good looking.

There's a Plexiglas panel that slides into place and is held in with a pin. This makes it VERY secure. It's not as 100% secure as a metal door would be, but pretty close IMHO.

I would think so, Sarah. You could install one end in the frame and one in the door. Your door would have to be able to take wood screws which I would assume all would. Sounds like a good application for it. Very clever.

Im not sure about the wood cabinet door. It would probably work if the thickness of the door is similar to the finished thickness of drywall (about 5/8"). Yes it comes with a backing bracket, which should also allow for some flexibility in the material you mount it too (wood cabinet).

Sure in any door open to right or left. Just set the side at the installation moment.

Yes. I have it installed this way. However, its possible there are exceptions to this. My door had pre-drilled holes and mortises, which I believe are standardized.

It probably could, but the back is very flimsy plywood, so you would have to screw it in many places to make it secure. I would strongly advise against buying this product in oak finish, because very little of it is actually oak, only the door frame and frame of the main cabinet. All of the other "oak" parts are actually a paper thin film of oak over particle board. These areas do not stain like the real oak and are not the same in quality or appearance to real oak. Also as others have commented the door hinges are very poor quality plastic and steel and the screws supplied will twist off if you try to use them.

Absolutely. My boyfriend installed it in a cheap, thin wooden door, (installed by a cheap landlord:).

Yes. I installed mine in a steel door. The installation is the same as it is for a wooden door. The only complaint I have about this product is the magnets that hold the flap closed aren't strong enough. Wind in excess of about 20 mph will blow them open.

Yes, this flag could be hung on a door using a wooden dowel or some other hanger.

if you have a way to mount it to your metal piece then i don't think it would be tricky. your local home goods store can point you in the right direction as to the best screws\bits for this purpose :)

I don't know, as mine is wooden. You would need to check with the manufacturer since you have no windows near the door.

Yes, the screws are pointy so you should be able to just screw it right into the door.

That's a tough question.....I have to say NO. Unless you can get a look at the stud in the wall and if its thin enough, get self tapping screws that will screw into the metal stud..... but that's really a hit or miss unless tried., good luck

Yes, you will be able to install them on metal doors. Just double check on the thickness of the door.

Each door comes with hardware with sliding latches. It would not be difficult to add more secure hardware as it is all wood.

No, it's made to install in a door minimum 1 1/4" thick. You would have to frame it with wood first.
