GREAT for our FAT CAT!

This cat door is SO good for our fat cat. The cat door we had before basically scraped his hair off every time he went in before, and while it was pretty funny to see him squirm, fidget and scratch, it was also pretty sad. For example, when you have to laugh but you feel terrible about it. In any event, the frame of this cat door has the thinnest profile of any frame on the market and allowed us to get the largest actual opening for the space we had in the wall for the cat door. Now he's really

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Some bugs

Great door, but definitely throw away the screws that come with it.

Great door but we had to remove the directional control clips - they move a bit over time with frequent use and our cat couldn't get through - the clips come out easily. In any case, we wanted a door that could be unlocked from both sides. I can confirm that you're better off just getting good stainless steel or zinc steel screws/bolts from Home Depot or Lowes. The ones that come with the door are surprisingly crappy aluminum. Phillips screws will break even if you pre-drill the correct width…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • A few small things

GREAT SCOTT! GOOD PRODUCT!

I use this to give the cats access to the basement without letting the dog through, which is only slightly larger than them. Although he can get in, he will rarely use the cat door to get into the basement since he is not allowed in. But he will go down there if the door is left open to humans and no one stands guard. The only reason he goes there is to eat cat poop. This was a very simple $20 installation into the hollow interior door commonly used in any rental home. Make sure you measure…

CATS, please get out of here!

got this after getting dizzy reading the reviews. I wanted tan because it fits my situation perfectly, but I didn't want to end up in the trash just to be tan. It turns out to be a well-made, beautiful and well-functioning door. The plastic frame is thick and strong and should never be a problem. The magnet closes the door instantly and completely silently, but a slight push from the cat opens it. The door is lined with down to protect against drafts and is silent. I figured the lock feature…

  • this is awesome

Flipped controls

Neat product. The door is solid and the flap is a little quieter than my previous cat door. One of the main problems are the ledges for the 4-way lock. The controls for the locking tabs are located on the back (inside) of the door. The open tabs shown in the picture are very difficult to move. Since I installed a cat door in the wall, the only way to get to the best tabs is to go to the other side of the wall and put my hand in the pipe. While more than doable, I've never had a cat and dog door

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some issues

В октябре 2013 года я установил эту дверь для кошек в мои тонкие металлические гаражные ворота (мой мастер на все руки), и мне она Like it a lot. I live in Indiana and we've had some record-breaking winters since installing it and it's been great. The thin "bristles" around the plastic valve were frozen from the freezing rain/snow, but after loosening them with warm water they were fine. I think it's very effective at keeping cold air out, and the four-way blocking is a nice feature too. Just a

Pros
  • Отлично подходит для меня
Cons
  • Без инструкций

Works well and looks good.

Works and looks good. But the buttons didn't impress me at all. I don't use them, but wish the piece of plastic would snap when I tried to stop the kitty. I understand that it can be configured to only allow entry or exit, or both, or neither, but I don't think they will stop a determined cat. during the winter months. Here's my advice on how to get your cat to use it. When it's mealtime, let the cat sniff the bowl and then go to the cat door. If the cat approaches, sniff the food again and…

Pros
  • Practical thing
Cons
  • So far so good
