I put my Cat Mate Elite Super Selective door through an outside wall in my house so I ordered an extension liner as recommended. Unfortunately, they really only add a couple of inches to the tunnel, so I needed to order two more. With a total of three wall liners I was able to make a very nice, waterproof tunnel for my furry family. They fit together perfectly but there is no real "adjustment" room. They're either connected or they're not, so you should measure your opening depth carefully and get one of these for every two inches extra you need to cover.
Like I said, for an exterior home wall I needed three. For a regular interior door you should not need any, and for a regular interior wall, even though it recommends a liner, I would be willing to bet that you would need two.
The door installed perfectly and easily in my wall. I needed and purchased two wall liners, which worked well. The Locking mechanism works well with the collar tag; haven't had any issues yet, BUT my cat has still not gotten used to the SOUND the system makes when it is unlocking. The cat refuses to go through it at all and has ended up using various places within our house as a new impromptu litter box. When I would coax (read: kindly shove) the cat through the door, it would seemingly not take issue with the sound, and would go through relatively willingly; however when we would go to work for the day I guess she decided it wasn't worth the risk that there might be some hidden guillotine built into the door, and would instead use our carpet, tile, clean laundry basket, etc as a litter box. We never had this issue with the previous (non-locking) cat door that this one replaced. Now we have effectively left this door in the 'unlocked' mode for the last month which defeats the purpose of us buying a relatively expensive electronic locking cat door.
(by the way, we DID do all the recommended 'training' recommended by the manual just when we put it back in the locking mode, the sound freaks the cat out :( ).
