Great Cat Door - Doors

This is a great (mesh) cat door that I would buy again. Delivery and price satisfied. However, the installation is not without problems. Both sides of the frame fit together, but it wasn't as easy as it sounds - my nylon grille (which I reinstalled for the door) was the standard gauge, I think. But in order for both sides of the door to snap into place (the pins have to pierce through the screen material) I had to use an Exacto knife to "cut" the screen material at every point where the pins go, otherwise the pins won't. or some won't stay in place (pop out). Then I literally had to glue (and clamp) a corner that wouldn't stay closed. The door itself had similar problems and it took a couple of days to pinch them again with long jawed pliers to keep the pins on the opposite side of the frame. All in all, I really like the door now that it's finished. My cats couldn't decide at first whether to grab the door and "pull" it or bang their head through. so I helped them (by pushing them) a couple of times. Now they seem to be making a game out of it. By the time I secured the door properly (and the hinges clicked into place) the cats began to fly into the door so quickly that to their surprise it "torn off". But now we're fine.

Pros
  • Pretty impressive
Cons
  • Protection
