Kitty Korner Cat Door (Lefthand Kit) The Original Patented Kitty Korner Slidelock Hinge Designed to Work for Interior Doors.

The media could not be loaded. We wanted a classy option to allow our cats in & our of our bedroom where there food is kept. Most of the options we saw were cheesy or tackey. Until I found this!Passage: Both of my cats fit easily through the passageway. One of them is a little on the heavy side, but he has no problems. Plus, I didn't have to teach them to push a flap with their noses. Very large cats might squeeze through just a little. However, that could be easily solved by adjusting where the original cut is made. The open flap is supported by velcro (provided) & although I'm not a fan, it works well. Cutting a larger portion of the door shouldn't have an effect on the hinge, but you might need to fasten the open flap with more than 1 square of velcro.Sound: My mother in law lives with us & enjoys watching TV late at night, very loudly, in the living room next to our bedroom. When closed, this keeps the sound barrier as if there's no cat door at all. Plus I don't have to hear a plastic flap swinging everytime they come & go.Installation: Easy project for someone with minimal skills. Getting the screws perfectly flush with the hinge is hugely important for functionality. I was very nervous (mainly because I cut the top of my first door by mistake & had to buy another door) but the YouTube video & written instructions were enough to successfully guide me. Also, the hinge has multiple screw holes to chose from, so you don't have to worry about what the internal configuration of your door looks like. One of the combinations of options is bound to work for you. The seam is visible while the flap is closed on the outside, but I suspect a bit of white paint will make it almost invisible.Sturdiness: Considering I have the hinge supported by only 4 screws (they provided 6 & I could have chose to use all of them) I'm very happy with it. We don't have kids that will be pulling on it or slamming the door. There's no reason it won't last for years.IMPORTANT: I have a solid-core door. I don't know if this will work with a hollow door.Also, when installing the flap portion of the door you must alight the top/edge cuts. Do not center the flap to the raw edge of the door. Upper edge of the door should align with the upper edge of the flapDon't forget to use a spacer while marking holes for the flap. You have to account for the hinge itself & you can't mark your holes while the flap is sitting flat on the door.All of that was shown in the video, but not stated out loud.Overall, I could not have made a very choice. I'm thrilled.

We've had cat doors for rooms in our houses for years - I've installed them most times, and paid a carpenter once to add one- always between the garage and the house. This one my wife wanted on our bedroom door so the needy cats could come and go without the hallway light or noise bothering her. I was hugely skeptical, and thought the hinge was a piano hinge. When the box came, I had an issue wondering where the corner of the door was. It was just a hinge ! Then my common sense kicked in, while I remained a skeptic. Cut the door, using painter's tape as suggested and installed this. I think including taking down the door and rehanging, it took 20 min. Works perfect, its clean, and I'll add photos if the app lets me. It looks great, mama is happy, our 2 cats are happy, and thats all it takes for me to be happy. Neat idea, easily executed. Neat, clean and better than expected by far. Well done.

This is very cool. Good directions. Easy to install. Looks good. Has been working well to keep the dogs out of the cat food/liter area. Would like for the kit to pay more attention to the little details. The piece of velcro to hold the door up and open is lame. Too small. Not sticky enough to the door and not grippy enough to each other. Make it a complete kit and include an alcohol wipe to prep the surface before applying a larger velcro patch.

We have tried so many different things to allow our cats to enter our bedroom while also not letting our dog out of the bedroom during the night. Stumbled upon this product and thought it seemed like a great idea. Installation wasn't difficult exactly. I struggled with lining things up a bit, but not really a big deal since when the Korner is down you will definitely notice the gap anyway so it not being perfectly aligned isn't really any more noticeable. Also I'm sure if you take you time you can do a much better job than I did with the install. But for what it is it works and looks good enough for me especially considering we will keep ours up probably better than 95% of the time.I also wanted to touch on customer service. After I installed the KittyKorner I noticed it wasn't locking into place in the up position. I emailed the company and they quickly sent me a replacement. It turns out the issue was probably more user error than a defective product. As I stated earlier maybe I didn't align it perfectly or maybe just the weight of the corner piece, for me at least, seems to just slightly mess up the alignment of the locking mechanism. I finally figured out I just need to give it a little nudge in the right direction once its up and it locks just fine.As the title said, innovative product and great customer service. Don't think I'll be needing another, but would definitely buy from them again if I do.

The directions were great and it was easy to install. However, I installed it on a 100 year old solid wood door. In this case, the small piece of Velco tape that was provided is not strong enough to hold up the hinged flap. I had some heavy duty plastic Vecro tape, and 2 large pieces of that usually work OK, although the corner flap does fall down sometimes when the door is opened or shut. The look is not too bad, but I think maybe I should have installed a traditional style cat door instead.

Don’t buy these for hollow doors, even if they recommend it.These are flimsy, and will ruin your hollow door. Without center bracket support, these bend and come out easily with very little wood to screw into.I’m trying to glue inserts into my door now to make these work, but I’m very disappointed.
