Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)For the money you pay, you get two pieces of plastic door molding, a thin plastic door, and 2 plastic strips...oh and a fun hour or two of trying to do with 2 hands what you should have 6 for. There goes 1 star.
The instructions are actually wrong, which will cause you an extra hour of frustration. That's another star. The plastic strips are what line the hole that you just cut in your door. Most interior doors are hollow, and made of a pressed paperboard, basically stiff cardboard. So the plastic strips line the hollow middle of the door. The instructions tell you to cut the strips to the thickness of the door. However, the plastic inserts that they go into have a thickness of their own which go into the door by about 1/8 inch each.
You won't find this out until you perform the juggling act of putting one side door on, balancing the plastic insert in the side, putting the plastic strips into the insert, then putting the other side's insert and door in place, then finally trying to thread the screw into the loose nut that recesses into the hole. Once you get all 4 screws tight, only then will you realize that not only is there a 1/8" gap on each side of the door, but the door itself won't open because the plastic is bowed. There goes another star!
Once you have it cut *just* perfect (if you cut it a hair too short then it won't fit inside the inserts and the whole door will be useless), and tightened just right (rather like tuning a piano), then the door will swing open and shut without getting pinched. Then you can worry about the mundane things like how to fill the decorative recesses in the door that the cat-door isn't flush to.
The bottom line is that this should be 1/3 of the price for what you get...and don't get. It's cheap construction with too little thought having gone into the assembly, and it looks like a cheap white cat door screwed into the door when you're all done.
