I have had similar doors and they fall apart after a few days, the mesh breaks from the part attached to the velcro. Does that happen with this one?

This one began falling apart hours after being installed. Very disappointing.

i think you got the one with cheap material, this one is made of good material, been using it for 3 weeks now and my 4 cats and 1 dog has been and out of the porch through this magnetic door and so far no problem at all

well I just put it up a few days ago so can't really answer that but it seems to be alot stronger than other one's because it has horizontal lines running through it also which I believe makes it stronger plus the extra magnets make it close better. Hope this helped some what.

I have had this one for a week and my dog runs through it at full force every Half hour and it is still holding up just fine

This appears to be very strongly reinforced... the edges are coated in a thick vinyl type fabric where the magnets are held and around all edges. I would not see a reason it would break (unless a cat or something used it as a scratching post).

I have been using this product with clients for about 3 months. I have never had any issues with slippage or tearing of any type with the door anchor. It gets used about 6 times a week. Hope this helps.

I also had the same difficulty when I first tried to open the memory door but after prying it gently it did come off. The material from which it is made off is fiberglass so it is not going to easily break but is very flexible. I opened it twice and it worked both times.

I don't think it would stay. It's not real heavy, but it does gave some weight and will be even heavier with jewelry. If the door is open and closed a lot like where I have mine, I think it would strip out and fall even if you used plastic anchors.

too be honest i would recommend these doors even if it does fit. cheap wood, falls apart. we use the doorway alot but had to glue 3 time and repair 5 times

While my door is new I have been working with a rescue group that has had this problem due to wear. They have gone to a heavy canvas for the door and this seems to work for them.

The door on mine fits very loosely. It looks like it was made that way and it seems to work fine. I assumed it had something to do with the ventilation.

If you mean the velcro lets go mine does that sometimes too. I just go down each side pushing it into the velcro really good and it seems to work for me.

No, mainly because of the pressure release valve when under pressure.. Hope they fixed the door mine worked fine at first then after using it for a week I heard a large pop..?Door stopped locking...took it back and bought an expensive small oven.

Mine has managed to escape out of it once when I first put it on him, think I may have had it a little loose. But I have also seen it stop him literally in mid air the next time he was spooked. Just depends on how tight you have it on him. The velcro is super strong.

I didn't read my response before I sent it. Sorry. My friend had to replace his door and used the part on the new door. He had the old door hinge break off and the old door could not be reused. I hope this makes more since.

Yes, it does. I've kept them for years. Just recently, my 5-year old had company and the 8-year old pull the door open so hard, she broke it. Otherwise, it has worked perfectly for us and my 5-year old wouldn't have been able to break it himself.

The only way that I can see that working is if you secure the Funhouse's smaller opening to the actual door that you have. I suppose you could do that with velcro.

Lucy, I will tell you this.....the hooks that go over the door are very weak. 4 days after attaching it to the door, it came crashing down. Sorry for the negative comments but you should know.

Yes, the mesh is around plastic tubing so it can come apart easily but it is sturdy when it's together.

Have the screen in the door replaced with the heavy-duty, "pet-proof" screen. It wears like iron. We still had a problem with the frame of the pet door coming apart. I finally used wire to "sew" the frame together and into the screen. I did this at intervals---like in each corner and in the center of each side and the bottom. We have one lab and one terrier---they fly through the pet door without a problem now.

Our is the same way, we decided to buy the "extreme Velcro" and cut it into pieces. We used the velcro to adhere to around the door frame and house and it's worked like a charm. We ended up doing this on two doors, and it works so well, we left if up over thew winter. We only have to replace one piece of velcro that came off the house (adhesive wore off). By far the best solution. The velcro is here: http://www.amazon.com/Velcro-Extreme-Outdoor-Fasteners-90812/dp/B001O6T2ZS/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397491038&sr=8-1&keywords=outdoor+velcro
