eljur: It is sticking out by more than an inch, looks bulky, the frame is very visible from any angle. The wall insert is sold separately for extra money. So I just decided to cut the loss and reinstall something more suitable and actually found a way better metal door for the same price. Amazon is unbeatable. I just wish I spent a bit more time looking for the right option initially.

RustyShackleford: I bought a cheaper pet door with a single flap. Then I realized how much air was pouring out and rain was getting in the edges. This door solved both of those problems. I really like it. It really keeps the outside out.
Also, I didn't get the bolts in my box so I called. Customer service was great. They sent out new bolts. Then I realized my three year old had actually stolen them from the box and put them in his playhouse. Thanks Ideal Pets and sorry you had to send me new bolts!
Next time I need a dog or cat door I'll definitely get an Ideal Pet one.

Shannon West: if you can install this in a wall is best. Mine is in a door, still better than the old one. Nearest flap sticks bent inward as cat goes in and out but 2nd flap remains in place, so less heat loss anyway. Amazingly easy to install.

Peggy Buchanan: I had my handyman install this Ideal Ruff Weather small size in the door of a shed to allow a colony of feral cats to go in for winter shelter while keeping out a bunch of raccoons. My handyman had never installed a pet door before, and he was impressed with this one. Right now, I have taped both flaps open with Gorilla tape until the cats get used to going through the pet door. The flaps are thick and sturdy so the tape may not hold very long in this freezing weather. I wonder if it is possible to temporarily remove one or both flaps until the cats are used to going through the opening?
update: I found out that the flaps can easily be removed until cats get used to going through the pet door. There is a short video online that demonstrates this, using a Philips screwdriver to remove the 3 screws and holding frame at the top. Also, on the manufacturer's web site you can order parts if ever necessary. Very pleased with this pet door!!
