Review on πŸšͺ Optimized Fit Pet Door by James Phillips

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Difficult if you already have "household quality " screens in your screen door.

We bought this screen door to replace the "small pet door screen panel" we made for 2 cats. However, installation was pretty easy. We have (heavy duty) pet grade mesh in the installation door. The instructions say to press the screen onto the bumps, but with the "home-grade" screen, we had to crop the screen to press onto the setup bumps. Knocking off the two outer bezels with a rubber mallet wasn't easy due to the thickness of the screen. In fact, we had to cut holes in the receiver so the "bulge" could be installed on it. In doing so, the magnet fell out unnoticed, and since the frame was slammed together, we didn't see a way to reattach the magnet. The lock tongues are plastic protrusions that get in the way of our glass door frame when opening quickly. This is probably due to the fallen magnet. It would make more sense to have a flat tongue to lock the pet door and avoid any kind of tampering. (yes, the door is installed in the correct orientation) However, we give 3 stars because the manufacturer did not mention the thickness or type of shielding, nor the design of the latch plate. On a normal screen, it should install without any problems.
