Excellent pet door
It was fairly simple to install but to make it easier it would be nice if the template was on thicker paper to make tracing easier. Also I felt like the screws to put it all together should be some kind of metal instead of just plastic. That way the hold to the door would be stronger. Other than that it has been a great door and my puppy and cat both use it daily.

Pet door
Great worked as advertised in cold weather state of Wisconsin.


super
supercalfragalisticexpialidotious
Its a 5
Its great easy install keep cold and drafts out very well made
Good door
We had to do a few framing modifications to get it to work with the existing frame, nothing hard or major. The flaps are great, they seal well and help keep the cold out.
