A life saver for my two 25# rascals!!

I have not used it yet, it should be installed within the next two weeks, unfortunately we had more renovations than we anticipated!! Our construction guy loves the door and info that came with it!

Easy install

Easy to install but aligning holes are critical for proper installation.

Flaps don't close completely.

I have had this installed for a year now. The flaps don't close correctly and have gaps allowing the hot air and cold air to enter the room. I have this installed in my basement family room where we frequently watch tv. I feel the draft coming from this door, especially when it is very cold outside like right now. The flaps don't completely seal on the sides (there are bows on both sides so it doesn't hang straight) and the bottom doesn't frequently seal - the bottom of the door is a magnet on a floating bar and the bottom of the flap is metal. The magnetic bar is supposed to rise up and meet the flap to seal the bottom. This happens maybe 3 times out of 10. . I had the smaller version of this door that I bought maybe 15 + years ago and was very satisfied with it. I regret buying this model and installing it

Flaps don’t fit the tunnel. They are too wide and get stuck in the middle of the opening.

Flaps don’t fit the tunnel. They are too wide and get stuck in the middle of the opening. I will have to trim them to size so they work correctly. Also the magnet of the one side sucks.
