It is best used indoors.

Previously worked well with minor modifications. The spacers that go into the wall between the two panels are not thick enough. If you are using it for anything other than a door or thin interior wall you will need to make your own panels to hide the insulation/frame. If you use it on an outside wall and strong wind blows, it won't stay closed. I ended up buying two sets and installing the door halves on the inside and outside wall and that stopped 90% of the pull and the doors actually settled

Door does not fit well and has a 3/16 " gap at the bottom of the door

When I installed the dog door, the door had a 1/4" gap at the bottom so don't seal outside air, cockroaches and lizards. I contacted Hakuna with this information and they provided instructions on how to pry off the metal valve retainer on top of the valve. With effort, I only managed to build up 1/16 inch, leaving a constant 3/16 inch gap at the bottom of the flap. I reported this to Hakuna and they did not replace the faulty valve. Obviously they have defective components that they will notโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy Install
Cons
  • Update Available

Fast installation is good for Cat doors, railings and steps

I bought this because it can be mounted on something as thin as a screen. The guy who built our katio wanted to fit it into a piece of plexiglass, so it was perfect. We can close the window when not in use or in bad weather, although the Catio is supposed to be suitable for outdoor use - there simply wasn't enough time for a good test. The valve is a bit stiff, but that goes away over time. Our installer said it was easy to install and looked good - we'll just see how many times the cats try to

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine

I have contacted the support team to let them know about the valve on this product. I was told they don't sell individual parts and frames. They don't seem very interested in helping me, although they did include a card that said if I can't give them 5 stars please contact this number and not Amazon. The frame is made of metal and makes a very stable impression. It would be nice to have two wings instead of one as there are issues with the wing not always closing. Worried about losing a lot ofโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Terrible nylon screws

I ordered these screws in the hope that they would replace an old door and plug a big hole. Luckily it was bigger than the old door so I just had to trim it down a bit. I then had to drill holes that had to be absolutely perfect or they wouldn't line up. I was surprised at how well the frame was built and then got to the bolts. Whoever came up with the idea of using the nylon screws has to jump off the bridge because it will ruin the whole assembly. The first screw broke. The second screwโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Nothing

Looks great but was very difficult to install.

. I will say that this door looks way better than the plastic door we had and is 100% effective against escape! BUT. It took a couple of hours to install because the paper cut they sent to measure the door frame wasn't accurate (it was 1/2 inch high and 1/8 inch wide. So I had to measure and cut several times. I worked with that too Door which is a bit hollow so it was quite difficult >.< So you can just measure the inside of the frame yourself instead of using the paper they send withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • . Easy to use.
Cons
  • . Hard to say.

Worst thing I've ever installed

I'm no expert at installing dog doors, but having installed 4 others before, I'm no beginner either. 1) The inner frame consists of 4 parts. Almost impossible to align when assembling the second side of the frame. It's like putting a jigsaw puzzle together in the dark. 2) I couldn't line up all 4 screw holes. The same was always off-center. After a few tries and a lot of choice cursing, I took everything out and tried to line it up on the floor. One of the holes is offset about 1/16 inch. Soโ€ฆ

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Negative experience
