🚪 Optimized Fit Pet Door Review

During assembly, part of the screen material is pulled out. When I fitted it to my new screen door it pulled the screen completely out of the frame which could not be tensioned back into place. This required a complete replacement of the screen material in my Arcadia door screen. When I installed the new screen, I installed the dog flap before trimming the excess screen material around the slots. I then had enough uncut footage to plug it back in without pulling it out again.

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.

Although the door itself appears to be well made, I am very disappointed with the fragile plastic sheeting used on the door. I thought it would be…

GREAT DESIGN: I paid $19 for an open box with prime delivery for the pet door. Instructions were concise and simple but required some tooling skills for installation.
