    It was difficult to find a larger door. This door is exactly like the smaller one we had. It locks multiple ways. Our 16 lb cat has not problem fitting through it.

    I had a normal sized cat door before but my cat outgrew it. He easily fits through this one. My “normal’ sized cat seems to have a much easier time going through this door too. It is sturdy, has a 4 way lock and was easy to install. It looks finished on both sides of the door. Also, small dog like a jack russell or a yorkie would easily use this door too.

    The door looks nice and seems very sturdy. However, we bought it for our small dogs, and as they come in and out, the lock gets pushed by their little feet and they end up locking themselves in or out. As a result, we have had accidents when they tried to go out but it was locked accidentally, and one time when we left town for the day, they had locked themselves outside. I would not recommend this pet door for small dogs!

    I have a medium/small dog. This dog door works perfectly for her. She’s about 25 pounds. It was easy to install.

    We’ve had this door for a month. It seems to be well made but I question it’s safety. We noticed the cats’ tails were coming close to getting caught in the door because the plastic door flap is rigid and has enough weight to allow it to drop closed as a cat walks through. Still we didn’t anticipate what happened a few nights ago. Sitting quietly watching TV, we were suddenly horrified to hear the most blood cuddeling screams coming from one of our cats. I could have sworn someone was killing her. As we followed the cries to the cat door, there she was with her paw caught under the door flap. Her reflexes were to pull her paw back but the harder she tried to pull her paw out, the more it wedged between the door flap and the frame. No matter which way I pushed the door, she was wedged in so tightly, I was going to break the bones in her paw just to get it out. I finally used a metal ruler to pry the door straight up enough to free her. We had just returned from a trip and I can’t imagine how horrible it would have been for the cat if we had been gone and our friend, who looked in on the cats once a day, would have found her caught in that door for who knows how long. While the locking feature is nice, the door needs to be redesigned with a more flexible flap or one that gives enough clearance for a paw or even a cat’s head.
