Was it created in the Door family template? Door families will adjust to the thickness of the walls.

Remove the wall thickness from the door family. The only dimensions that you should control will be the door dimensions, not the wall.

it doesn't cut through the wall? Or, it doesn't recognize the host as a wall?

Sounds like the door family uses a void cut instead of an opening cut. It probably isn't constrained correctly. Verify this it aligned and locked to the wall edges in the family -- or replace it with an opening cut.

 

Do you want to post family?

okie dokie. Just to be clear: when I said "void cut", I meant that a void extrusion might have been used in place of the typical opening cut. So I was thinking that the extrusion isn't deep enough to fully cut through the wall. If so, easily fixed as I described. 

 

Good luck
