Product Information

Hi Lynadonna – sounds like you need to teach Stormy a new way of letting you know she needs to go out. Fortunately, she has only managed to escape a couple of times in the few years since I put the extra magnets on the door. For very active and larger pets in general, we always recommend that you purchase the dog screen doors that are attached to the frame of the screen because this is the sturdiest and most stable option for screen doors. They are made with high-quality materials and come with features such as weather stripping and magnets to keep the bugs out and maintain a secure seal.

The EazyMesh Magnetic Screen Door is one of the best-reviewed options available, so you should definitely give it consideration. This type of door is better for intermittent use, allowing you to create an opening as needed, but primarily keep the panel sealed. For a tools-free installation, 'instant' or hanging screen doors can be installed in regular doors, sliding doors, or French doors without drilling or cutting. Outfitting your sliding screen door with a doggie door is often one of the easiest installation methods if you are not as handy, although large dog doors for screen doors generally require that you drill into your frame for stability.

I was on the hunt to find a dog door solution that would let the dog go in and out, but keep the cat in.

If your cat is still craving some fresh air, try training them to walk on a leash or building a catio.

These kinds of pet doors are much stronger than options that have all four sides attached to screen material only and can tolerate much more useful as well as larger sized pets. My current dog door has magnets at the bottom of the flap which keep the door closed when it’s not in use. You may want to consider a doggie doorbell too – we have an article all about those here: https://www.

By investing in a screen door with a pet door, you'll enjoy the benefits of improved air circulation, a bug-free environment, and the ability to give your pet the freedom they deserve. The screen door also includes a package of thumbtacks for additional security (appropriate for wood frames only). We found the manufacturer of the door was no longer in business so replacement flaps weren't an option.
