Cat Mate 4 Way Locking Cat Flap with Door Liner Brown

I bought my own house and put in this cat door because I was tired of closing my door umpteen times a day. I had been leaving the door pushed closed but not shut and my cat could pry or push it open. My cat learned quickly how to use the cat door and let me go about my business. I don't have to leave what I am doing to close the door. The loss of heated or cooled air in the house is significantly less than with the door ajar, not to mention the bug issue. The 4-way locking feature is a definite plus.

We've installed a few of these in several homes over the years, both the magnetic locking kind and the non magnetic kind. We have never had a problem with them. The installation is very straight forward and in the end you have a professional looking cat door that works very well. I have never had a problem with other critters. We did have one door destroyed by a friend's large dog that we left inside the house and who though he could get through the small hole in the door. I especially like that it has a rigid clear (tinted) door as opposed to translucent flexible flaps that some doors have.

I have never seen a better cat door.

Installed in a metal door -not for the faint of heart. A few anxious moments, but eventual success. Final result looks like original equipment.

Would have like some screws/bolts that went clear through the door to hold the two pieces together, but I'll worry about that when/if the provided pieces don't hold.

Three cats learned the trick in a day or two. Should have done this years ago!

This product is good and well designed. Putting it into a hollow door I do not recommend. I cut the pattern and found that I had no wood to hold the screws. I did purchase 2.5 inch screws with nuts and washers and used them to hold the sides together. Then I cut the excess off of the screws so the animals did not get hurt.

The problem here is me, but I think a warning should be in the instructions for hollow doors.

We have an older model of this door that works well, but on this version our cats quickly learned how to bounce the door when set to "in only" and they can then catch the edge and get out. Bad!
