Would you recommend buying the see-thru pet door?

I think that depends on your pet and if your pet would go thru it or not? I'm using this for my outdoor kitties and don't think they would like a plastic door so I have blanket that I cut and got it to drape about half way down to block out the wind and they seem to like that. Also the door is pretty expensive - about $25.00.

No I wouldn't recommend the door flap. It's opaque so it would be difficult to see through, and it is leaves about an inch gap on the bottom so it would be drafty in cold weather.

Yes you only lose the width of the pet door which is stationary,it's well worth it to see your dog go in and out on its own

I know this is old, but I wanted to answer anyway. I think so. I don't have it connected directly to the pet door, but our "gerbil tubes" made out of shelving wire connect to the door, and this tube connects to the shelving wire. I used "zippy strips" (plastic cable ties) and a piece of the wire I use to close off the gerbil tubes to rig a smaller closure. It wasn't as hard as it sounds.

It is about as good as a regular house window. I don't notice much difference. Make sure it is a tight fit in wall or door, and caulk around outside frame. If possible put in location were pet is not around a lot less chance of door opening more.

Hi: If you need to cut the aluminum to get the pet door into the screen I do not think it will work. The pet door separates and you need to re-attach the two halves with the screen sandwiched between the two plastic pet door halves. To secure the two halves I needed to use a hammer and gently hammer the two parts of the pet door to get them to seat together. The aluminum would be too thick to sandwich between the two halves of the pet door. I suppose you could drill holes through the pet door and secure it with small bolts with the aluminum between the two halves but the pet door must be almost perfectly attached or the middle door will not swing correctly.

Specs are as stated in the previous two replies but I wanted to piggy back off of Michigan amazon's reply and also recommend that you do NOT purchase the door flap... very difficult to install and the dogs tend not to like it as it is not see-through. It really isn't necessary anyway with the igloo-style opening.

LK, we have used with our cat, and have been very good, our cat has panoramic view inside and the opening work very secure. You will have not any problems.

I suppose if you can frame out a part of the screen with wood to hold the frame of the pet door. But if your screen has an aluminum frame it might be difficult. Ask someone who sells or makes the kind of screen you are talking about.

Unfortunately, no. I ended up flea-market-selling this one and buying the Staywell Medium Doggy Door. Much better product, and has a panel that slides in making it unenterable and weatherproof. Okinawa typhoons are NO JOKE, and neither is the Staywell.

Absolutely not. We just tried this gate but my 20 month old figured out how to get through the pet door within minutes. He had plenty of room to get through. It's also not secure when installed as a pressure gate.

The door is very nice. It hangs well, and looks much pricier than it was. Good luck!

the door to this one is a bit flimsy and there is a gap at the bottom. If he is the type to try to escape I probably wouldn't trust this one! I have another large crate made by Petmate that is very sturdy. I would probably go with that brand. And you might want to go with a larger size. My largest dog is 55 pounds.

I can see why. I did buy the unit bc it was alot less in $$ than the Boss. The door is so cheap on this unit! I am soooo careful when I open and close it so I don't break it. So far I'm ok but I know it will go some day. Right now I treat it like it's a fine crystal :<) My brother has one also and he uses his with the door open bc it won't shut. If you can't return it at least you know you can use it still.

I don't think so. There is a minimum thickness of the door in order to install the pet door.

It is see-through, although it might be a little bit tinted. You will be able to see your pet perfectly on the other side of the flap. I can even see her facial expression "Don't you see me standing here? Are you gonna let me in or what?".

I have an 8 yr old Shih tzu that can go in & out with no problem. I also had a bigger dog, so the step-over had to be higher, but still my Shih Tzi jumps right through it, no problem. My shih tzu is younger than your little guy, so I'm not sure how he'd do with the stepover. My Mom's little Pekingese has shorter legs & refuses to use it, so I have to leave my slider open slightly if we leave. So it's just gonna depend on how agile your cocker is. It's nice, but it was HARD to install. My brother is a builder & he did it for me. It IS a great door tho.
