Would this flap work with a plastic screen? The door frame is wood and the screen is a cheap flimsy plastic screen. :-/

No. You need to anchor the cat door on a wood or metal door. We have ours on a thin metal screen door. Metal on the bottom half and screen on the upper half

I don't think it will. Is this an inside door? Your best bet, if you don't need it weatherproof, might be to just buy a flap, cut an opening the size of the flap, and attack the flap to the panel.

The flap is hard plastic and has a 2 way lock. This door does not have a security panel, which would make it more secure than just the two way lock system.

Ruth,I'm trying to replace my door flap. And it has the same number as yours. Did this replacement flap work?Thanks Eddie

The flap is hard plastic, but the cat would not use it until I removed the flap and replaced it with window screen. You can't please them all.

I think so. It works for our basement screen door, our rear door, our front door, and our kitchen side door. The side door is separated from the base unit by a room with plaster-on-metal lath walls. Other doors have screens.

Yes, fairly well. BTW: it will withstand wind a lot better if tie it down by taking separate ropes, and running over the top. The places where you supposed to tie the ropes on, will just pull holes in it when the wind blows. The screen doors don't last very well, wind or no.

Should not be a problem. This unit is very simple. The one decision you will have to make is to mount the screen on the inside of the existing door frame or outside the frame (on the face). Mine worked best on the outside but it works well either way.

I would say that anything that is glass it will work! Pay close attention to the instructions making sure that you NOTICE that one end of the film looks like it has the film on one side but on the other it ends about a half inch short. Don't cut the measurements till you make sure of that. I messed up my first piece. Fortunately, it is up on a second floor traverse above the door and isn't that noticably.

I believe the door or screen frame would fall out before the screen would tear. This was the best screen I purchased.

I didn't use it on a screen, I used it on a door, but I believe that it would work on a screen, maybe even better than a door because mine did not have the interior lining needed to make the inside of the door smooth after you cut the hole. I've used a similar door in the past on a screen and it lasted 5 years and was in good shape when we sold the house.

Each door has a specific size that fit it. Large, extra lg. Etc. Also there are different brands of door. If yours is isn't an ideal product these flaps won't work for you.

Nope you need a different product.. Best bet for a screen door is likely Lowes or Home Depot. They aren't very expensive as I recall.

Maybe. The flap has at the bottom a metal band held over the plastic by Riviots. The bottom has a small plastic part that must have the magnets in it & it moves. It maybe better to take something like clear gorilla tape to tape it in place. I think that would make it quieter. You also may be able to move the lower part before installing it in the door.

Only if it's attaching to something 1/2" thick all the way around the cat door.... i.e. no screen...but, yes, I installed it on a solid bottom paneled aluminum screen door.

I measured the frame and it is 2 1/4 inches deep. I really don't think it could work on a screen door panel.

I would say it would work just fine. You'd probably have to attach the velcro on the outside of the doorframe. I got mine because I rent and it won't do any damage!
