DIY Install - (Lefthand Swing Kit

We wanted a classy option to allow our cats in & our of our bedroom where there food is kept. Most of the options we saw were cheesy or tackey. Until I found this! Passage: Both of my cats fit easily through the passageway. One of them is a little on the heavy side, but he has no problems. Plus, I didn't have to teach them to push a flap with their noses. Very large cats might squeeze through just a little. However, that could be easily solved by adjusting where the original cut is made. The open flap is supported by velcro (provided) & although I'm not a fan, it works well. Cutting a larger portion of the door shouldn't have an effect on the hinge, but you might need to fasten the open flap with more than 1 square of velcro. Sound: My mother in law lives with us & enjoys watching TV late at night, very loudly, in the living room next to our bedroom. When closed, this keeps the sound barrier as if there's no cat door at all. Plus I don't have to hear a plastic flap swinging everytime they come & go. Installation: Easy project for someone with minimal skills. Getting the screws perfectly flush with the hinge is hugely important for functionality. I was very nervous (mainly because I cut the top of my first door by mistake & had to buy another door) but the YouTube video & written instructions were enough to successfully guide me. Also, the hinge has multiple screw holes to chose from, so you don't have to worry about what the internal configuration of your door looks like. One of the combinations of options is bound to work for you. The seam is visible while the flap is closed on the outside, but I suspect a bit of white paint will make it almost invisible. Sturdiness: Considering I have the hinge supported by only 4 screws (they provided 6 & I could have chose to use all of them) I'm very happy with it. We don't have kids that will be pulling on it or slamming the door. There's no reason it won't last for years. IMPORTANT: I have a solid-core door. I don't know if this will work with a hollow door. Also, when installing the flap portion of the door you must alight the top/edge cuts. Do not center the flap to the raw edge of the door. Upper edge of the door should align with the upper edge of the flap Don't forget to use a spacer while marking holes for the flap. You have to account for the hinge itself & you can't mark your holes while the flap is sitting flat on the door. All of that was shown in the video, but not stated out loud. Overall, I could not have made a very choice. I'm thrilled.

Best invention ever. Easy to install. Looks great. Very functional for when I need to lock my cats in my bedroom for whatever reason. Would give it 10 stars if possible.

Absolutely brilliant i would highly recommend

My cats and wife love it. Can close the door for some privacy but the moochers can come and go. After using it for 8-9 months it is starting to warp. Not terrible, still does the job, but could be more durable.

Takes some time/work to set up, but directions and video explain everything well. Final installation looks and works great! We installed two. Our cat loves using them and it allows her to come and go at night without needing to scratch at the door to wake us up. I recommend you take your time during the install process, measure twice cut once to avoid a botched door
