Charl van Niekerk –
This product is of excellent quality with a strong aluminium frame. The installation instructions were clear and straightforward, making the process hassle-free.
For my one-year-old schnauzer, the medium size frame proved to be a perfect fit. I was pleased to discover that my pet started using it within a day.
One notable feature is the magnetic strip located at the bottom of the pet door. It effectively prevents wind from blowing into the house, providing added insulation, particularly during the winter months.
However, it is advisable to have a door with a thickness of at least 25mm to ensure the frame fits perfectly and both parts of the pet door press evenly against it. In my case, my door panel had a thickness of only about 15mm, so I had to take measures to enhance the fit.
To address this, I installed additional foam strips around the sides of the pet door as fillers. This helped create a tighter fit and ensure proper functionality.
