Please tell me the size of the doors and are they same size on each side? I am a little concerned about raccoons getting into the shelter.

I have two of these and while I don't know the exact size of the doors, I do know that they are the same on both sides. I don't have raccoons where I'm at, but I'm guessing that they would have a harder time getting in do to their width. Our largest cat is 16 lbs and he can get in, but it's more of a struggle for him.

The doors are the same side on both sides but we taped the back one shut since it is on a lighted porch. Opening is pretty small for an adult raccoon. We don't put food in the cat house so never had a problem with raccoons or other interlopers. It's a great house, we have it with the electric heating element. Our older feral sober the whole long winter comfortably ensconsed!

I don't really have a way of measuring these doors- but I have never seen a raccoon inside any of the four catbarns I have here.

They are 5.5 inches if I remember correctly. Many predators can enter an opening of this size even a small raccoon. A fat raccoon won't be able to get his body inside. But we have had two reports of snoozing raccoons in the shelters. They love the warmth too. I would not be concerned about the size of the door and raccoons. If we only had one door it would be a problem and a cat could become trapped. Two doors eliminates that issue completely. If a predator comes a calling your cat will high tail it out the other door no problem. We have never had a report of a cat being trapped or eaten by a predator that entered any door. So don't buy anything with only one door or you might be sorry! Scott at Feline Furniture by Amazon.

R. Taylor is correct. You can put 2 together if the door placements line up. I have 2 of the 3 door crates and have them next to each other with the adjoining doors removed. I originally planned on letting each dog have its own crate but they seemed unhappy about that so took the facing doors out and now they share the 2 crates. Occasionally they get to fighting and then I just drop 1 of the doors down between the 2 crates and they have their own space. I highly recommend the 3 door crates for their versatility.

See the images of the Rodent Terminator I posted here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-media/product-gallery/B006ZNOX6I This is the version of the ''RodenTerminator'' that I received in Dec. 2013. I am not sure if there are (or have been) any different versions than this one.The opening is slightly less than 3-1/16" wide x 2-3/4" high. The sides are slightly sloped; the width of the opening at the top is about 2-7/8"This is pretty small for the squirrels in our area to fit through easily.

It sticks out 2" on each side. You can slide the lock panel on the inside panel, but it could be kicked in if they really wanted in. That person would be met by 3 dogs, best security system. Love the door.

The A frame house does not but the smaller one shaped like a dog house does. I have both and found the smaller one is sized for one cat and the A frame for two. I have these in my barn so I don't use the doors, they are attached by velcro. Love these and just bought another A frame because I like the size difference. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else answered!

It Has 2 Doors the one on the side is 20 x21 1/2 and the one on the end is larger 24 x 23 1/2 it is a nice kennel not as heavy as our older one, would work well for most dogs but not a real aggressive one ,but nice for our doodle .

There are 2 doors on the front of the cage approximately 10 inches wide, 14 inches in length and each of the sides has a small door approximately 5x7. There are no doors on the back. This is a great cage; very well made and excellent price compared to pet stores.

Your dog size is smaller than both of our cats. One is 12 lbs, the other is 14 lbs. they fit fine. We love these doors. So far, we have purchased 3 doors. All work great, but the white color works better because of the reflective tape- on the brown if it gets dirty, the batteries go dead. Especially if your door is shaded.

I don't recall reading anything about the door being interchangeable. The one I purchased opened to the right. I used it as an auction item so I (unfortunately) don't have it in my home!! LOL

We've had raccoons try to get in the coop, but they haven't thought to use the door. They just try to dig underneath. (We've got screen mesh across the floor to prevent them from getting in underneath.) You can tighten the door latch to make it harder to twist.

I had originally bought these not realizing their were different sizes. I think you may be talking about the same issue we had. Not sure what your doors look like, but I would look at

Zack, These panels may be placed on any part of the unit. Each panel is the exact same size, just the door panel is not a solid piece. However, if you put the doorway on 'long' side, it will might not allow the tarp cover to fit as well due to swing panel of door unit. I've found workmanship and quality of the Lucky Dog to be a really good piece of equipment. Enjoy.

Yes unless you put a collar on a raccoon you will be fine. The door timer can be adjusted and once the animal with the collar goes through the door closes immediately and anything else that tries to come through, the door will close down on them deterring them from entering.

Rocknchairhippie's answer is correct: the door opening is 9x11 inches. But our cage has two doors of this size: one at the upper level and one at the lower. If you look closely at the photo, you can see both doors. It's a great cage.

I have 3 large cats (from the ground to highest point of back is about 12-13 inches) that all use the door just fine. It's a little bit of a tight fit, but they don't seem overly bothered by it. My small dog, who is more barrel chested and less flexible is also able to use the door (she's about the same size as the cats), if a little less gracefully.

We have a schnoodle, about 18 lbs, and a smaller maltipoo, and the door is big enough for them to practicality go through side by side. In fact, we have a toddler (24 lbs) and he has used the doggie door with no issues. The flap measurement is accurate. I would suggest cutting a hole in a cardboard box the correct size, and testing it with your dog. I do suggest that you be ready to purchase additional weatherstripping, as what's included is inadequate.

the shape of the door will make a difference on how it fits. The 1st door I ordered was the right size but shape didn't fit my crate. If you still have the old door be sure one you order is the same shape.
