Namsan Pet Screen Door Magnetic Lockable Dog Flap, Easy Fitting Dog Door for Medium Large Dogs Cats

Product Information

You can use many of these doors to keep dogs out of cat doors You may also find that a cat-size door like the PetSafe Cat Corridor Interior Pet Door will be small enough for only your cat to use. Each tester received a dog door compatible with the style of door in their home and their dog's size. I may snip about a 1/4 inch off of the bottom of the flap where the magnet bar is to see if that helps make a better/more consistent seal. All great suggestions but this morning our Alaskan Klee Kai (standard size)just jumped into the sliding screen door until she pushed the entire door out to go chase a jack rabbit.

Many doggy doors feature a double flap that can help reduce airflow [so] if you live in an especially cold or hot area, this can be well worth it. And they were indoor cats for the first 4 years of their lives until one of them (Chanel) figured out how to use the dog door.I figured since the dog is stronger than the cat, all I have to do is add enough magnet strength so that the cat couldn’t open the door, but the dog still could.

Weighted sticks in the bottom edges of the fiberglass mesh screen prevent the 36-by-82-inch door from blowing open by the wind. The Bob Vila team distills need-to-know information into project tutorials, maintenance guides, tool 101s, and more. They’re less expensive than double-door products because they’re smaller, but they cannot be used to fill double-door spaces.However, the mesh is fairly sheer, so it doesn’t obstruct your view from the inside but is still dark enough to protect your privacy from view on the outside. These are very simple to install, requiring only a sharp knife, a flat surface (like the kitchen floor), and a hammer. If you aren’t afraid of a little work, you can install a screened doggie door to alleviate your pup’s need to scratch. The dog door “hack” has been in place for a few years now, and the cat seems to have given up trying to escape. My boxer sometimes runs full force and smacks the screen door with both feet at the same time to let me know she wants in.
