If the puppy likes it, I like it!
First off, my dog absolutely loves this door! He is an inside dog and in the night he tends to move from room to room in the house. Maybe he just needs to check on us every so often.The bedrooms are air conditioned so the doors should remain closed but if he cannot get in he scratches on the door till we acknowledge him. So, to work around that we started leaving the bedroom doors slightly open which isn't too great an idea when trying to keep the cold air in or keep the bloodthirsty mosquitoes out.Enter the doggy door! This wasn't too difficult to install with the right tools - a drill, a saw and some patience. I used an electric hand saw (not a jigsaw). The instructions state to install the pet door about 4 inches from the bottom of the room door but that's just a suggestion, right? I decided to install the pet door 2 inches from the bottom instead and once I started cutting, that's when I had my uh-oh moment.The internal support braces for my bedroom door were about 3 inches high along the bottom and I started cutting through the brace itself hence affecting the stability of the door. Also, the vibrations from the saw started to separate the side panels from the interior support. Sigh. After repairing the bedroom door with nails and glue, it's time to start installing the pet door.It is a simple process to put the back and front together and use the screws to secure them, but it turns out the screw holes are not pre-threaded. Using a hand screwdriver to tighten these screws is next to impossible. I had to pre-thread the holes using the drill and a screwdriver bit and then install the door.Once installed, puppy immediately figured out he can just push his nose and pass through the door - no coaxing or treats involved - smart little cookie.The flap is relatively quiet but for a bedroom door it has bit of a loud clickity-clack to it because there is a magnetic base that gets pulled up about 1 or 2 mm to hold the flap closed and ensure a weather tight seal; not really necessary for a bedroom door. I solved that noise by using some strips of gift wrapping tape to keep that magnetic base from rising up to meet the flap. The only side effect is there is an oh-so-tiny space which does not seal the pet door but that space is so much smaller than the opening at the bottom of the bedroom door so it really is a moot point. The magnetic attraction is still there so the flap is still held closed.The flap is made of a thick durable clear plastic and sometimes puppy is quite content just looking through the door.4 stars for the unthreaded screw holes but 5 stars for the effectiveness of keeping the cold air in, mosquitoes out, a peaceful night's sleep and one happy puppy.

READ THIS BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING ELSE!
The media could not be loaded. Ok.. after reviewing a lot of other Pet/Cat doors, i saw some of the reviews saying that they are amazing and blah blah blah, But I chose this one over a lot other similar products from other vendors who offered the one with PLASTIC HARD DOOR... the main reason was because in 2 different reviews of 2 different products but with similar characteristics, there were 2 cats with their paws stuck in the door and almost broke them.... I got feared just imagining that could be happening to any of my 2 cats where we are not at home...I feel really happy that I spend 22 dollars (instead of the 6 dollars minimum price of other door from a really good brand) for this door. Why?, well... I installed the door yesterday and obviously, the cats were afraid of that new thing in the door... After looking at them and trying to teach them how to use the door, I see that their insecurity at the beginning is the main reason that could cause a tragedy with a hard plastic door.. they test the door with their paws.. and sometimes they don't walk fast through it and left the tail between the vinyl door and the frame....This Pet Door is great.. the instructions on how to install it is at the side of the box, My door is 1.5" width and it fits perfectly... The vinyl flap is amazingly flexible and it feels resistant... It also has a little metal light bar at the end so it will keep close with the magnet... i don't see any open gap between the vinyl and the plastic frame of more than a 0.5 millimeter so we can keep the AC ON without having cold air escaping from the room.The installation is easy specially if you has the correct saw to cut the door.... the outside frame fits perfectly for every screw hole... unless you has the outside frame upside down (it happened to me LoL)Buy it.... your pet deserve to move around the house in a secure way....

Love IT!!
I love this product. I installed it in an interior door that divides my house because I only heat and cool the main area I stay in. With the pet door installed my cats can freely roam the rest of the house without me needing to heat and cool it. The weather seal is amazing on it as well (I was a little shocked that it doesn't have any kind of draft at all once installed). Also I don't have to worry about my cats tails being injured due to the flexibility of the flap itself. The flap shuts securely every time they go through it leaving no room for me to have unwanted heat or cold coming into my room. I also love that the flap is clear. The clear flap helped me train my youngest cat to use the pet door. She could see the treat through the flap and worked through her fear to come retrieve her treat and praise. After about 5 minutes she had it figured out with the help of my niece who helped move her through the pet door a couple times prior to her going through it without help. I've taught my youngest and I'm letting her teach the rest of my cats. They will learn by watching her. I have a litter box over there though just in case I don't see them at the flap in time if they get over and forget how to get back to me. I would recommend this product to anybody. The only thing is if you are looking for a pet door that allows you to set it to just in just out closed or open this door doesn't have those features instead it has a solid slide in piece that blocks the door when you don't want it in use. All in all it meets and exceeds my every need. I would add a video but I'm not sure how to do that. Also installation was super easy. A drill and a jig saw plus a Philips head bit and it was ready to go.

Perfect Cat Door
Super easy to install and the vinyl flap won't pinch or snag the cat. I have a 15lb cat and he easily fits through. The cover fits easily and securely in place. Highly recommend this product- we bought two!
