Review on 🐾 Convenient Cat and Dog Flap Swing 11 by Ferplast: An Ideal Pet Access Solution by Clay Elmer

Noisy door that also faces the wrong way

The door appears to be fairly standard apart from a few notable points which are not specifically mentioned anywhere. First of all, it's noisy. I bought it hoping to replace an existing noisy door but found it just as noisy. The noise comes from the wind deflector, which slams loudly several times when backing into its seat. This can be useful if you want to know when your dog is coming in and out at any time of the day or night, but I'd rather not. The main dampener itself is quiet, but after experimenting with some rubber strips for some time, there is no easy way to deaden the wind dampener's noise without creating a gap that interferes with its job of reducing airflow through the main door. , and the reason I won't be using this door, and I should have realized it when I bought it (although it's even clearer in the pictures), is that the door leaf is on the inside of the door. . So outside you can see a section of the tunnel. I immediately see it filled with leaves and dirt being blown into the door by the wind and what is even stranger in the choice of design due to the way it is oriented it can take a strong gust of wind the door will open the door and window because it is misaligned (compared to outside where the wind would blow the valve into the frame it would be blown away from the frame). ) you couldn't help but flip the setup, so the door was outside. It also means the mounting screws (which I noticed were metal unlike some other brands) are more secure on the outside rather than the inside. someone with limited installation experience but for me i will find another door to buy it is much quieter and goes outside.

Pros
  • Four way locking system
Cons
  • unreliable
