Durable Door Works Great!
I purchased this so my cats would have access to their food and litter boxes but at the same time keep the dogs from being able to get to the cat food. This door was just the right size, was extremely easy to install in our basement door and has worked perfectly. My large 15lbs cat had no trouble fitting through the door, figuring out how it works immediately. My dogs are all 30-50lbs so they can not fit through it to gobble cat food. The locking mechanism has been a huge help to keep the cats safely closed up and not have to worry about any escaping during home renovations with workers in and out of the house. The swinging door can be a bit loud at times at times but usually that's only when the cats each sit on either side of the door and make a game out of batting / smacking it back and forth with their paws. Overall the door has held up very well in the 5 plus years it's been installed. At times the locking mechanisms can be a bit hard to slide and lock down but I don't use them often. The clear plastic door has some scratching and is not quite as clear anymore which is to be expected but I wouldn't hesitate to purchase another in the future if needed. It was a great price and solved my problem of the dogs getting into the cat food.

Even works on a screen door!
Our small dogs were starting to poke holes in the mesh of our screen door. This product fit perfectly between the vertical supports. It was easy to mount and seems to be good quality.

Works, but glitchy
This is easy to install, but sometimes the lock gets somehow moved, or the door inexplicably hovers in the open position.

highly recommend
Bought a few months ago, my dad put this in the wall for me so my cats can come in and out whenever they want and it works perfectly. I also love that you can lock it on the outside or inside.

Easy to install
Use a 5/16 drill bit at the corners, the jigsaw blade fit perfectly.We are all sick of not being able to close bedroom doors because of the cats (why do cats hate closed doors?!?) I started with the laundry room as a test, since that's where the litter box is. Cats took to it easily, and it was easy to install. I will now be adding one to every bedroom as well. A little crazy, but these heathens will scratch relentlessly if they detect a closed door so it's worth it.

The perfect is the enemy of the good
...but don't worry, this cat door isn't close to perfect ;) It's good, but just narrowly missed being "oof"Pros:* Inexpensive* Has an interior shroud/channel so it looks nice when used with hollow core doors* 4 way locksCons:* Hollow core door installation, while technically possible, is heckin dodgy (details below)* the locks are super flimsy - as noted in other reviews, a determined kitty will not be stopped! Think of these "locks" more as suggestions, not commandsHollow core door installation:1. The installation comes with a template for outlining the required cutout. However, the template instructions now that it might " be off by 3-5mm". Didn't sound like much, so I wasn't worried.2. However, the screw holes for the upper corner mounts are about 3-6mm away from the lines the template creates. Now I was worried: installing in a cheapo bulk-grade hollow core interior door, there wasn't going to be much for the mounting screws to now into, even under ideal conditions. But having them so close to the cutout is ...not great 😬3. Speaking of the screws: each half of the door has its own set of 4x oddly long wood screws, instead of bolts+nuts for connecting the 2 halves through the door. Unnecessary, but mostly moot in lieu of points 1 & 2Having said all that: I got it installed, and it seems like it should work. Will update if/when that changes 🤞Update (Jan 2024): still using this door in it's originally installed location 🙌 For all my concerns about the mounting, it's held up well - then again, my 3 little calico babies aren't going to put *too* much stress on it. Locks: as noted, they are pretty much useless - but as an even more fun wrinkle, my cats managed to lock one side or the other on their own on multiple occasions. So now the locks are taped over, rendering them inoperable by man or beast; so if the locking mechanism was drawing you to select this item: maybe keep looking..

Great door: have tips if your cat is stubborn
So well made for the price, I’m super impressed! That said, my cat wasn’t smart or adventurous enough to figure it out despite all the excellent training advice I implemented DAILY. (Putting wet food on the other side, propping it partially open, don’t let it use the regular door anymore, etc… check YouTube, it’s full of good advice) It’s been a month and I only got him to the stage of going in/out when it’s partially propped. I think the weather stripping and magnet just presented a little too much tension for him to want to push through (it was a mental, not a physical barrier). So I removed the top magnet, which helped, and then I removed the weather stripping which did the trick in just one day. It can flap in a strong breeze, but at least the cat uses it. I can still lock it one-way or completely with these modifications. I’ll probably try to re-glue the weather stripping in a month or so. If you have a smarter cat, or raccoons etc are a big concern I recommend no modifications- this is a simple and very well designed door as-is. I just have a stubborn or possibly dumb or whisker sensitive cat.
