CEESC Large Cat Door for Interior/Exterior, for Pets <23.62", Black

We’ve bought these twice for our basement door and love them! Super easy to install and works for our bigger cat. Careful if you have kids/toddlers. A) they like to lock it once they figure it out and b) little fingers can get stuck. Other than that, we love them!

Good option for a cat door. I like being able to lock it. This is the second one we have purchased since we like the first one so much.

Works perfect for my cats pretty easy to install

We had this going between a bathroom and an outdoor catio in Minnesota. Worked for over 4 years with no problems. Bought a new one again just because some of the weather stripping got a little warn. Highly recommend. Our 15 pound cat will fit through this.

Just got it today and installed it, so I cannot speak to its longevity. Should it break in a short time, I will update the review. I can see the plastic door getting scratched up after a while as a distinct possibility, but frankly, how is that supposed to be prevented? We wanted one with the ability for the cats to see through, so unless you want one with an opaque swinging door, I think you are just going to have to assume that over time, the clear plastic will have visible scratches and smudges. Right now it's perfect (just installed) but I will come back with an update as to how long it took before it got scratched up (I'm just assuming it's going to happen.) Install was super easy for me, just a drill, drill bit, screwdriver and jigsaw. The thickness of my door was perfect for it, and mine are standard doors, so most people should be OK. I think these are 2 3/8" doors... I THINK! So I didn't have to cut down the plastic at all, but I can see how that would be obnoxious and hard to do, so I got lucky, but not really. Like I typed earlier, these are designed to fit standard thickness doors, and it did. I did not use the wood strip they recommend getting (not included), nor did I use double sided tape. When I cut the door, I cut it on the small side (so I thought), and it turns out it was super-duper snug but not actually too small. I was actually afraid it might be pinching it to the point where I would not be able to fit the second piece, but I got lucky and it fit so tight that I didn't bother to remove it and use the other items. I didn't see the point. If in a little while I notice it starts to get loose, I'll update, but at that point, that will be my fault, as I am admitting I didn't fully follow the instructions (yeah...lazy, I know). My only complaint, even though I am giving it five stars, is that the screws you get are soooo soft, that you want to make sure you use a screwdriver and not a power drill to install them. I barely touched the screws with the drill and it stripped the heads. I was able to salvage it and make it work, but the last 6 I put in by hand, with a screwdriver, without incident. Use the right size screwdriver too or you might have an issue. The 4-way mechanism is straightforward, seems like it will be durable (I'll update as needed), and it doesn't take a lot of effort to push it open, so even little cats and kittens can do it once they are trained. I would recommend, and I like that it comes in white because I think black on my doors would look funny.

Angus Theodore Hicks O.K. (Office Kitty) gives it a big thumbs up! Constantly frustrated, waiting for hoomans to open the door so he could visit the service techs in their break room, perform mousing duty, etc, and then return to his office for nourishment, bathroom duties, pampering, and naps in his climbing tower, Angus clearly needed the situation corrected! Concerned that vermin would be allowed to roam freely on weekends, when he was jailed inside the main office, Angus convinced management to make an "investment" and perform mild demolition to the wall between the office and the storage/break rooms. Having supervised the installation process VERY CLOSELY, he can assure future purchasers that if his office workers could manage to install it correctly, well, that should speak to the difficulty level. Within a couple of hours, he had trained the door to open with a firm head bump, his sense of freedom was overwhelming, and the ability to "up" his exercise routine to include high speed dashes throughout the various rooms and offices also led to much deeper and satisfying naps! The ultimate joy was when he was able to "play" with an unwary employee who came in Saturday morning, still a bit groggy, perhaps a little forgetful of the new "door", and woefully unprepared for a large black object to come hurtling out of the wall at him. No longer were employees forced to peer through glass, longing to give Angus his morning pettings....he could be right there, with nary a few second delay between the time they open the entry door until he launched onto their laps! Clearly, this new portal was a great benefit to Angus's fellow workers, who no longer are forced to miss even a few minutes of his attention and loving! Angus assures all shoppers that the true value of this door is a steal at even ten, twenty, dare we say even thirty times the current price! His ONLY concern is that it appears the door can "accidentally" lock...as happened recently when one of the hoomans appeared to be interviewing a new employee. This clearly could be corrected by simply tearing that defective lock button out, which would guarantee Angus's participation in vetting potential new hires. Luckily, the hooman was eventually able to figure the lock out and restore operation, but it was too late this time, as the potential hiree had already left, but maybe with more training, the office people too could be trained on how to operate the lock CORRECTLY!

The locking mechanism isn't substantial enough. I don't know. Maybe it's just MY cat? He's discovered that he can use his head as a battering ram and just smash through whether the door is locked or not. Otherthan that, this is a GREAT door! Installation was a breeze, and ice didn't create any issues for us. (Used in an exterior door). I did, however, caulk all off the door to door contact surfaces as well as the screws when I installed them. Our cats were a little nervous and suspicious of the door at first. I tried luring them with treats and such, but they weren't having it. What worked for us, was to take our bravest most adaptable kitty and just help him through the door. We showed him that the door flaps both ways by giving it a few good swings from both sides, but if he wanted to come back in, he had to use the door. There was some pawing as he tested it out. Then, the fastest zoop that was ever zooped. The others saw this and that was that. After going through a few times, the door became just a part of their lives. They don't even think about it anymore. They just use it when they want. BUT if for some reason you are using this as traffic control to a room or building, just know, this will NOT stop a medium to large sized cat that wants to go where to the place you have shut down. If this is locked, they can just ram it until the door pops over the locking mechanism. So, don't count on this for any sort of access control. In my opinion, it can only be reliably used to add an unfettered access door.

Well-constructed and easy to install. The four-way lock works great, too. As an added bonus, the cats figured out the door really quickly, I think because of the clear door flap. We did install it a little crooked because we leveled to the house instead of the door. That's user error though, nothing against the cat door.

Leicht zu handhaben. Wird gut angenommen. Schließt gut

Applicata va benissimo. Leggero spiffero ma ci sta.

愛猫のために購入しました。 製品の作りも良く 取り付けは簡単でしたが 愛猫が なかなか利用してくれません(汗) ちょっと「トレーニング」が 必要ですね(笑)

Fue fácil para instalar, siempre y cuando tengas una sierra caladora… Nosotros lo usamos para un perrito chihuahueño pequeño. Al principio le daba miedo, pero muy pronto se adaptó a usarlo.

Perfect for our small cat, we installed a 1” thick styrofoam insulation into the open window, then cut the hole to size and installed cat door into that. Easiest install, we did have to epoxy the door frame to the insulation because of how we decided to do it so it’s perm, but for the price keeps the house warm and with some treats/encouragement kitty loves the freedom. Door works great with a wee magnet to keep it closed. Had to prop and show how but she got it. Going to paint it out to make it pretty.
