    Thank you so much for posting this video! I have been searching for a pet door for my cats and ordered a product I was less than thrilled with from Amazon. The door I originally ordered did have security issues with not being able to secure my existing door properly. But this little device eliminates that issue, and your video was very helpful with how to install install. And at a fraction of the price for the door I originally ordered, and have now returned. Thank you!

    Thanks for the video! We're tired of the flies that come in when the dog opens the screen door! We ordered it! can't wait either. We already have a metal mesh over the screen to keep the dog from tearing the screen with claws. We will just cut the mesh and the screen and it should be perfect. Now, the grand children will get to play with it too, I'm sure.

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před rokem

      Thanks! I didn’t want to go too low otherwise it would loose structural rigidity from the screen and rip off the base seam. For as long as we had the door it worked perfectly. Once we got Koopa our Great Dane… it had to go. Now we use the magnetic curtain style which I have a video of that too! They both love that kind of screen too! Thanks for watching!!!!

      This was the best pet purchase ever until we got Koopa our Great Dane. He got too big so it didn’t serve its purpose anymore. We had to get one of those bug drapes which works great! I have video on that too!

    Thanks for sharing. What type of screen material is strong enough to hold the dog door? Has the door held up pretty well or did you need to replace anything?

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před rokem

      It’s a very light door that any screen door material will hold up. I don’t have it anymore because of our Great Dane…. (He doesn’t fit) but I would buy one again in a heartbeat! Awesome product!

  • @kamakazikriss
    @kamakazikriss Před rokem +1

    First let me say thank you. This was a great video. I have one question..... how well has this held up? I used to have one years ago, but they didn't even last a year. Since this video was done 2 years ago, is it still holding up?

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před rokem

      Thank you so much! Honestly we don’t have it anymore because we got a Great Dane and that didn’t work out too well once he got a few months old! He tried… but he out grew it quick. It never broke or anything. As a matter of fact the track of the door itself actually went bad before the flap door! If and when we only have a small dog (I’m not rushing that)….. I’d buy one again!

    Can flies come in from the sides and top or no?

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před rokem

      Nope! That’s why we bought it when we did. So we can leave the slider open to let him out and come back in so no buggies come in when it’s dark hovering from the porch light!

  • @kayw6004
    @kayw6004 Před rokem +1

    Just watched this video as I was looking at this door on Amazon. I have a few questions. Is it still working okay? Is there any way mice could push open the door and get access into your home o?

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před rokem

      So I do not use it anymore for only one reason. We have a Great Dane and he won’t fit! LoL. It worked perfectly up until we had to go a different route. It opens extremely easy and mice are extremely smart and strong. Working FT at a pet store and knowing what I know….. I would say yes…. BUT… the odds of that happening are probably extremely low. It does have a locking tab that you can flip so the door doesn’t move. I highly recommend this for any small dog or cat. I do have a link in the description to my affiliate account. Thanks tor watching!!!

  • @ninamarie2312
    @ninamarie2312 Před 2 lety

    FYI dogs have natural instincts they are pretty smart and if they see something outside they will find a way to get outside and they will use the doggy door by themselves. They don't need help. FYI one idea I recommend for the purple watching this video is put some food outside and I guarantee you they will get through that doggy door without a problem

    Does the door part have screen in it?

    • @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman
      @TheCrawlspaceCraftsman  Před 11 měsíci

      Nope. Once you attaché the frame to the screen you cut out the screen and attach the door. The door can be latched locked.

    • @jefferyhaws6942

      Your track has the ability to add a sliding screen door. Go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and they will be able to assist you. Measure your height and width of the sliding door before you go. Then doggy door is available in the link in the video description to my amazon affiliate account. Thanks and hope that helps some!!!

      We don’t leave the door open 24/7 but it sure did beat letting bugs in when you slide the door open. During the Fall/winter/spring we just let him out and come back when he wanted. Summertime we would shut the slider until he was ready unless it wasn’t too bad out .
