Enjoying Cat Door for Screen, Black, 8.3" x 10.3" Opening, Doggie Door for Sliding Door, Pet Door Built-in, Magnetic Swing Flap, Small Dog Screen, Lockable

It came in great shape and was easy to apply. Instructions are easy to follow and end results were life changing, allowing my dog to go in and out without me.

I installed my kitty door yesterday. It was easy to install and it looks really nice. Kitty still trying to figure it out but she'll get there. :)

This door works perfectly for me! I’ve used it for about 2 months now. BUT it might not work if you want it to be free hanging.Sturdiness/Install: I have a 65lb 1 year-old German Shepherd and if we didn’t shore the door up, she would have ripped it off on the first use. Granted, she’s pretty much a spazz, but still, this dog door might not work well if you want it free-hanging in a screen/screen door. We don’t have the sturdy pet-resistant screen on our porch, so that may give you different results if you want to use this door with that particular screen.Size: I was worried the door would be too small, but it’s actually the perfect size for a large dog. Make sure you hang it as directed, so your dog can use it properly.Hardware: Also, like some reviews say, the tiny screws and nuts don’t last very long. Zip-ties or gaffers tape works just fine to hold the door closed, if you’re okay using those.Overall, I am very satisfied with this product, it just needed some adjustments to meet my needs. I thought 4 stars was realistic because I found out very quickly that my dog couldn’t use it as advertised.

Had to replace the existing Dog door when we had the screen room re-screened.The original unit we had used the screen as a hinge and was easy to install.This door? Not so much.The instructions tell you to cut the hole out in the screen first. The piece you cut out is used to screen the flapper portion of the door. From that point on installing the door takes 2 people, one inside and one outside. The screen where it is cut now has no tension to hold it in place while installing the door frame so you have to manipulate the screen to stretch is tight again in the frame.Installation is difficult at best.Once it is all together and properly installed in the screen, the Pet door works ok. It has 2 very strong magnets in the bottom of the flapper frame to hold the door in the closed position.It is lockable with 2 latches on the flapper and frame.It is a heavy framed unit. The flapper door is hinged to the frame by a couple of molded plastic hinge pins that are fairly substantial.Once my pup got used to the new door, he was ok using it.I am disappointed with the "stainless steel" hardware that came with it. The door has been installed for about 2 months and the screws are rusting already.

Not terribly hard to assemble though I did find that adding a few drops of super glue to some of the pin holes made it assured to stay together. I installed this in our living room window so that our cat can go in and out at will. We used to let him out the door but when he wanted in he would jump up and cling on the screen to the windows trying to get back in and was tearing up my screens and forcing me to replace them every so often. It took a few days for him to get used to it but he now goes in and out through this door frequently. Unfortunately I can't put a pet door in my regular door and so when my windows are shut for weather then we have to go back to the old way of opening the door for him and letting him back in that way after he hangs on the screen. Cheap but functional.

I put this doggie door in along with a heavy duty screen for my sliding door. It was *definitely* a challenge to install, but has held up to every day use. I’ve had this installed and in use for about eight months now. My dog is a small-ish terrier

The pins which allow the door to swing are too big so it does not swing and instead hangs partially open every time. These pins are not adjustable as they are a formed part of the plastic door section. There is a sizable gap between the swinging portion and the frame portion, meaning any bug smaller than a bee can freely enter the home. Also, the window-like section of the (not) swinging door is too wide. When you ruin your person-door screen and install the frame of the doggy door, you use the cut out screen section inside the (not) swinging door part. There is very minimal overlap of the screen allowed to hold it into place when you fasten the two halves of the (not) swinging door together. Therefore, when your dog pushes through the door and her nose ends up in the window-like screened section, it easily pops out. Then you have another delightful entry point for bugs into your home, as shown in my photo.

The media could not be loaded. I researched several dog door options. This one was the best in several categories: install, functionality, price, and amount of damage to structure.We have a female German Shepherd/Husky mix that’s almost 60 lbs, and this works great for her. I mounted it a little higher off the ground so she can use it comfortably, but not too high because we also have a 15 lb chihuahua mix with little legs.Install was a little tricky, mainly because the directions weren’t very clear (as many have pointed out), but the concept is fairly simple, so mostly common sense will allow you to install this pretty easily. I used super glue, per the directions, but it just made a mess and got all over my fingers. Now that it’s up, I really don’t think using glue is necessary, because it doesn’t hold the frame in place while you work. Since I installed it by myself, using the glass slider as backing really helped. I used a mini hammer, but a rubber mallet is probably best. If you can, I highly recommend having another person help with install, or just take the screen off the track and install it on a flat surface, because gravity is a nuisance with this thing.I don’t see the point of the lock tabs, so I just broke them off and tossed them. When we want security, we will just close the slider.My big dog picked up on it very quickly with a little bit of training and treats. My little dog is scared of it, but she stays indoors mostly anyways. The big dog goes in and out, so this is perfect. Hopefully it holds up to a lot of usage. So far so good.
