Why it matters
Hakuna Pets' Deluxe door has an aluminum frame and adjustable plastic tunnel sections you cut to fit doors, walls, screens or glass up to 2.8 in thick.
A composite aluminum panel slides in for open or locked, strong magnets pull the flap closed after each use, and a thick brush seal blocks drafts. It comes in four sizes, so choose the one that matches your cat.
Who it's for, and who should skip it
Good fit if
- Wall or screen installs
- Drafty doorways
- Cats and dogs together
Look elsewhere if
- Doors too thin for the frame
- Cats larger than the opening
- Owners who can't cut the door or wall
Pros and cons
Pros
- Aluminum frame
- Magnetic seal
- Fits up to 2.8 in
Cons
- Any animal can use it
- 2-way lock only
- Pick the right size
Limitations to weigh
- Measure your cat's widest point and the door or wall thickness before cutting; check the cut-out size on the maker's template.
- Prop the flap open for the first days and reward your cat for using it; most cats learn within a week.
- A flap that opens for any cat can let neighbors' cats and wildlife in; selective flaps prevent that.
