Overview
A magnetic-closure pet door built into a frame for screens, doors, or walls, sized for pets up to 42 lbs and openings up to 2.17 inches thick.
This is a door insert rather than a standalone product, so the 2.17 inch thickness limit is the figure that actually decides fit. It's rated for a weight capacity of 50 lbs even though the marketed cutoff is 42 lbs, and the plastic frame suits lighter-duty installs rather than exterior wood doors.
- Medium size, up to 42 lbs
- Magnetic closure
- Fits surfaces up to 2.17 inches thick
- White plastic frame
Who it's for
Owners retrofitting a screen door, thin interior door, or wall panel for a cat or smaller dog. Not the right fit for thick exterior doors or a dog near the top of the weight range, where a heavier-duty door holds up better.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fits screens, doors, and walls up to 2.17 inches thick
- No separate mounting kit needed for basic setups
- Plastic frame, not built for heavy exterior door traffic
- Weight range tops out at medium-sized pets
Performance notes
The magnetic closure keeps the flap shut against drafts when the pet isn't passing through, which matters most on exterior screens and walls. Plastic construction keeps it light for wall and screen installs but isn't built for the wear of a busy exterior entry door.
