Reinforced Cat Screen Door, Fits 32''x 80'', Thickened Cat Resistant Mesh, Vinyl/Alloy Steel Frame, Zipper Closure

TLDR: bought to use for bird room to keep cat out and birds in. It was fairly easy to install, works great and seems sturdy. The only thing I would change: I wish there were more tacks due to me smashing a few in my attempt to hammer them in lol. (Explanation of how I installed it farther down) ■Longer version: We have been working on setting up a bird room. The room we are using has 1 door and 1 doorway. The doorway connects to the kitchen. I was already planning on getting a screen for this doorway eventually. It suddenly became urgent due to my ex husband calling me and asking if I can take in his cat. I didn't want a magnetic one because I figured cats could walk right through it. I measured the outside of the doorway and bought the recommended size. It was pretty easy to install intuitively. The directions are not very detailed, but that wasn't a problem for me. My b only complaint is I wish they included more tacks. A few of them ended up being smashed/bending while I tried to hammer them in. I don't think it was due to a problem with the tacks. I think it was caused by my sub-par hammering skills. ■How I installed it: ●I opted to install it in a way that made sense to me. To explain this, let's call the the velcro pieces that are sewn on the mesh "side A" and the velcro that goes on the wall "side B." •Rather than measure placement and measure out the strip of side B velcro and place side B on the wall and pray I got the placement correct, I did the following. •I attached strips of side B velcro to the side A velcro on the mesh. I held it up to the wall and had a helper pull the bottom taught so we could find the right height. Then I peeled the paper off the back of velcro B on just the top of the mesh and pressed it to the wall. I then used 3 tacks to secure the top of the mesh to the wall (one on the top right corner, one on the top left corner and one in the middle/center of the top) •I then peeled the paper off the back of velcro B on the right side and pressed it to the wall. I hammered in some tacks to secure it. •Then I proceeded to do the left side, making sure to pull it taught as I went from top to bottom pressing the sticky side of velcro B to the wall. •I added a few tacks to secure it. •I used the rest of the tacks around the edges to finish securing it to the wall. •Lastly, I used some small 1 inch nails I had to attach the bottom of the mech to the floor by hammering them through the bottom edge of the mesh, through the carpet and in to the flooring under the carpet. °I could have skipped the last step due to the 3 attached sides being taught enough to prevent the bottom from being lifted more than a couple centimeters at most. I chose to hammer it to the floor just for extra security from pets as well as making it easier to zip and unzip.

Inexpensive for what it is and works brilliantly. I used this while adopting a new cat to contain them in part of the house. I'm not entirely convinced she couldn't tunnel under the bottom but putting a towel there is easy and makes it very secure.

Just love this screen door. Super easy to install and verrrry sturdy. Packaging is very professional and they give extra velcro tape. I am positive it wont fall down or be ripped because of the quality of product. I am taking care of my son's cat for a month. I have 4 cats already. I was obviously concerned for his safety and kept him in a bedroom. After a week he was getting fed up and wanted out...adding this professional screen door has changed his life. He can still be apart of the group and feel secure. His reaction was immediate happiness.

There's one room in the house the cat's aren't allowed to go into -have never been allowed to go into- so therefore this is a crime against cats. This room - my bedroom- also has terrible airflow issues, which can best be alleviated by leaving the door open. Now they can see into the room they're not allowed to enter. "How did you make this worse?" I imagine them saying. It's very sturdy, my 16 pound cat hasn't managed to brute force his way in as of yet (and he's tried). I ordered for a 30 by 80 door but got something like a 35 by 80 - but no matter, I made it work. The glue on the hook tape is pretty intense. To prep for the hook tape I lightly sanded with a 400 grit sandpaper and then wiped off the dust with a microfiber cloth. I don't think it's going to come off any time soon. I'm not sure how I'll get it off later, but that's a future-me problem. It even stops the odd bug from getting through and a new plus: the chonker-cat can't scratch on my door all night long so I can finally get a good night's sleep. Edit* years later and it is still holding up. My fat cat has been trying to gnaw his way through but the screen is tough, making him work for every cm of a hole. He was able to pull the bottom off the carpet but because it's taut across the bottom he can't fit under. Sometimes I hear him rush my door and try to Kool-Aid man his way through but it holds. I'm still giving this screen 5 stars because my cat is very destructive, clever, and strong and the screen door has lasted this long despite him. This screen is a godsend for my sleep and privacy.

Installs with ease and functions perfectly. Covers our door frame to keep the cats inside. After quite a bit of scratching, climbing, and one particularly chunky cat barreling into it as hard as he could manage, it's still good as new. The tacks that come with it are a tad weak to press easily into most doorframes, but you could easily replace these with something a little sturdier. If possible, I would use on unpainted wooden or metal doorframes, however. The adhesive is extremely strong and I could very easily see it removing paint when you took it down.
