Quality


Despite this i highly recommend this door as it is well made and does keep the odors and air on right side with a better seal t...  Read More


It’s good quality, the door swings very nicely, keeps closed so no air or anything comes through that i have noticed.


By the end of the four days it became habitual and i dropped the flap down.


This leaves about a 2" wide gap (about 1/16" deep) under the flap.

Price


Don't try to save $5 to get one for $15 or less.


I have been wanting to do this install for a long time, and reviewed many of the cat doors from the least costly to the most expensive.


I shopped several websites and pet stores and the cat doors were so expensive.

Shipping

    My cats are average size and have no issue fitting


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    My two cats are 12lb long hair they look really large and they go through the door easily even though the description says up to 12lb i think cats a little over can fit in perfectly fine


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    We havent had a reason to use the lock though


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However the cat door is obviously meant for a thicker outside door rather than our thin basement door so its not fit snugly into place


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Thats more my fault than the sellers though but just keep that in mind when purchasing this door


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It does need to be washed often because their fur rubs it as they go in out
