Performance notes

The telescoping frame is the standout feature here, letting the same door fit a range of wall or door thicknesses from 0.75 to 1.75 inches, while the lock out slide gives owners a way to fully close the opening without removing the whole unit. At 90 lbs, the weight rating is built for large dog traffic rather than cat sized openings.
