Kitty Korner Cat Door (Lefthand Kit) The Original Patented Kitty Korner Slidelock Hinge Designed to Work for Interior Doors.

We wanted a classy option to allow our cats in & our of our bedroom where there food is kept. Most of the options we saw were cheesy or tackey. Until I found this! Passage: Both of my cats fit easily through the passageway. One of them is a little on the heavy side, but he has no problems. Plus, I didn't have to teach them to push a flap with their noses. Very large cats might squeeze through just a little. However, that could be easily solved by adjusting where the original cut is made. The open flap is supported by velcro (provided) & although I'm not a fan, it works well. Cutting a larger portion of the door shouldn't have an effect on the hinge, but you might need to fasten the open flap with more than 1 square of velcro. Sound: My mother in law lives with us & enjoys watching TV late at night, very loudly, in the living room next to our bedroom. When closed, this keeps the sound barrier as if there's no cat door at all. Plus I don't have to hear a plastic flap swinging everytime they come & go. Installation: Easy project for someone with minimal skills. Getting the screws perfectly flush with the hinge is hugely important for functionality. I was very nervous (mainly because I cut the top of my first door by mistake & had to buy another door) but the YouTube video & written instructions were enough to successfully guide me. Also, the hinge has multiple screw holes to chose from, so you don't have to worry about what the internal configuration of your door looks like. One of the combinations of options is bound to work for you. The seam is visible while the flap is closed on the outside, but I suspect a bit of white paint will make it almost invisible. Sturdiness: Considering I have the hinge supported by only 4 screws (they provided 6 & I could have chose to use all of them) I'm very happy with it. We don't have kids that will be pulling on it or slamming the door. There's no reason it won't last for years. IMPORTANT: I have a solid-core door. I don't know if this will work with a hollow door. Also, when installing the flap portion of the door you must alight the top/edge cuts. Do not center the flap to the raw edge of the door. Upper edge of the door should align with the upper edge of the flap Don't forget to use a spacer while marking holes for the flap. You have to account for the hinge itself & you can't mark your holes while the flap is sitting flat on the door. All of that was shown in the video, but not stated out loud. Overall, I could not have made a very choice. I'm thrilled.

Best invention ever. Easy to install. Looks great. Very functional for when I need to lock my cats in my bedroom for whatever reason. Would give it 10 stars if possible.

My cats and wife love it. Can close the door for some privacy but the moochers can come and go. After using it for 8-9 months it is starting to warp. Not terrible, still does the job, but could be more durable.

Takes some time/work to set up, but directions and video explain everything well. Final installation looks and works great! We installed two. Our cat loves using them and it allows her to come and go at night without needing to scratch at the door to wake us up. I recommend you take your time during the install process, measure twice cut once to avoid a botched door

We’ve installed 3 of these and love the simplistic design of these not looking like the traditional cat door. Cats love it and haven’t hesitated once using them!

When I saw these I thought this would be the perfect solution to having our bedroom door open at night. I watched all of the videos and followed the instructions exactly. I will say that I’m a pretty seasoned DIYer for home improvements. So I dove in and cut my bedroom and laundry room doors. The install was pretty simple, but a few things to note: 1. Watch the video: using tape under the guide was helpful in keeping a clean cut. 2. I had hollow doors, but it still fit. However, the screws were a bit too long and came out the other side of the cut piece. 3. The locking hinge is supposed to keep it open, but that only locked in place on 1 of my 2 installed. Even then it wasn’t strong enough. 4. The Velcro isn’t really thick enough to hold the cut piece in place if the locking hinge doesn’t work. After all of that, I had already cut the doors and installed them, so I was determined to make them work. Some Command Strips attached to some strong magnets was my solution. I figure I’ll be keeping it in the open position most of the time anyway.

My husband installed this on our bedroom door so we could shut the door and our two cats could come/go. I was skeptical that my fat cat could get through it, but it's big enough she can run through it, which she loves doing! Our door is a barn door slider. If you have this, it does make it a bit difficult to open the door all the way, but it works for us.

Overall decent solution. Very poor instructions (literally so blurry it’s not even legible). If you have a solid door you’ll have no issue, if you have a hollow core door you will need to DIY a little to reinforce the inside so that you have something to screw the hinge to. Overall satisfied

expensive but it works well for me and my cat

This was a simple fix for cat access. Now we can close the bedroom door at night and the cat's still have access. It's a simple cut on the corner of the door and add the hardware.

Needed a carpenter to fit, as door needed to be removed. This was no issue and expected. Cats love it! Would definitely recommend.

This is a perfect compromise instead of leaving my whole door open a crack for my cat. He can come and go as he pleases and if he's being a bit too much, I just shut the corner closed. win-win!

Ich habe diese Tür schon vor einiger Zeit entdeckt, nur war leider der Versand aus den USA nicht möglich. Nun gibt es sie auch für Deutschland auf Amazon und ich habe sie direkt bestellt. Die Installation ist Dank der Sägevorlage einfach. Ebenfalls gibt es noch Schrauben, ein Stück Klettband, einen Aufkleber mit Bedienungshinweis zur Tür und eine Erklärung dabei. Bei letzterer auch mit QR-Code zu einem Installationsvideo, was man sich als Unterstützung anschauen kann. Wichtig: Falls die Tür, wie bei mir, in einer L-Form endet, muss die Vorlage unbedingt versetzt werden, ansonsten passt das Scharnier, bzw. die äußerste Schraube nachher nicht. Fürs Absägen habe ich als Splitterschutz sicherheitshalber ein dünnes Holzbrett an der Unterseite festgeklemmt. Da die Tür innen hohl, bzw. mit Füllmaterial gefüllt ist, ließ sich das Scharnier nur ganz rechts und links anschrauben, an der Tür-Öffnungsseite des "Dreiecks" musste ich eine kürzere Schraube verwenden, da diese sich sonst seitlich rausdrückte. Ich hatte zuerst die Türseite angeschraubt und wollte das Scharnier nicht nochmal nach weiter unten verschieben. Im Füllmaterial halten keine Schrauben, wer mehr Zeit aufwenden möchte könnte die Tür entsprechend verfüllen, um mehrere Schrauben zu setzen. Dank der Federung und Arretierung hält sie sowohl im geschlossenen als auch im offenen Zustand ohne zu Schaukeln oder wegzuklappen. Wichtiger Hinweis: Bei meiner Tür von 4cm Dicke und einem Türspalt zwischen Tür und Boden von 0.5 cm lässt sich die Tür nicht schließen, da sie unten mehr Platz zum Klappen braucht. Ich lasse sie nun erstmal dauerhaft offen. Die Katzen haben die Öffnung sofort angenommen, da sie nicht mit dem Köpfchen etwas aufdrücken müssen, wie z.B. bei einer regulären Katzenklappe. Sie schlüpfen nun einfach durch.
