Review on Perfect Pet Tubby Unbreakable LEXAN by Brad Cao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Performance review of a polyurethane and aluminum camper door fitted cat door a year ago

Update 3 years later: We tape the latch tongue to prevent it from accidentally latching - it started not to 'click'. "Firmly in place in 2 years but no real problem as we rarely use the lock. Overall the door is still working perfectly after 4 years of use. This review was made a year after the door was installed in a campervan exterior door written in PU aluminum Advantages: Telescopic frame allows for an easy and tight fit USE THE TEMPLATE CAREFULLY AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!As long as there are no noticeable drafts, the brush-lined vent and valve ensure very quiet operation; You can hear it if you're around - makes a rustle/click when the cat goes in or out, but it's not loud at all - the door closes quietly and gently - no magnet to startle the cat or hers Catching tail - big enough and strong enough for a 15 lb cat - hard plastic door stays shut keeping the elements out during inclement weather this winter - we'll be using Because the 4-way lock almost never functions, but it's handy to have these options, I thought it would be a problem that the top step of the porch in front of the door is lower than the inside floor, which means the cat can get a little has to jump up to get in, but he has no problem with that (although I'm sure this setup won't work). for all cats, especially older ones). Cons: - Not really a con, but I can't tell which setting is which on the 4-way locking mechanism. This isn't a problem as it's rarely used and I just check if I have the right settings when I use it. Tips: If you are not completely comfortable with the assembly instructions or do not know how to use the necessary tools, ask someone to assemble the door, especially if it is an exterior door, as improper assembly will cause drafts, heat leakage or chilled air from home and damage to your door. Follow the instructions, use the template. Show the cat the door and how it opens and closes, but don't try to push or pull it through.
