The door ends up frequently ajar and letting cold air in. Can it be modified in anyway to stop this?

Mine does the same thing, like in the picture here. Is yours opened even more? If so, maybe something needs oiling.

Mine does the same thing, not to mention that lack of insulation lets the cold in generally. It seems to be closing more regularly after several months of use.

Mine does get stuck slightly ajar too but I just give it a slight tap and it closes. Not sure if there is anything that could be modified. It is only ajar by the width of my kitty's tails (which are long!) as they slink out, their tail slowly pulls through last and the door occasionally gets stuck. I can't think of a way to prevent this...

I Haven't had this problem but try cleaning the magnets or putting a small weight ( small magnets ) at the bottom to weight it to swing down. I did this with one of my other cat doors and it helped.

Try putzing with the door safety; I had to remount my unit in the RV because RV-mfg just set unit in place and rough road conditions bounced unit around, jarring my door switch.

First I would replace the door with a solid core door. This will get the noise down quite a bit by itself, and if you need more attenuation, you now will have something solid to screw this vinyl to, since it is quite heavy.

I would say no. When the door is in the up position it holds the door up. It takes downward pressure to lower the door and close it.

It might happen if the doors are not installed properly. Simply adjust the hinges should solve the problem.

Never had that problem. The door was the wrong one to begin with so we sent it back. Sorry I can't help you.

Possibly. The temp controller could be bad and not allowing you to reduce the heat. It is also possible that you are out of refrigerant in your AC system which will eliminate cold air. If the ambient temp allows can you get cooler air by adjusting the temp with the AC off? Also the air divert doors might be stuck in the hot position.

No. I used a stopper. You can use a stick or suction cup to stop the door from sliding.

The only way I have been able to completely and continuously seal out the hot & cold is to have at least one of the hard plastic slide-in doors in place, especially during our windy and tornado seasons. With only the soft flaps, a very slight amount of air may sneak by once in a while with gusty, stronger winds. We have this mounted in our kitchen dining area wall, and have recently had 1 and 2 ambient degree mornings, and the soft flaps have not allowed the cold air to pass. During the summer months of high temps and high humidity, the flaps seal very well, with air passage being a non-issue. We have tried many doors before this one, and none have measured up. The most important point regarding proper functioning of the door is the proper installation. Done well, the door performs admirably. It was only after 6 years of very regular, hard use by our four large dogs (and one small), that it needed to be replaced, as some of the weather strips had finally worn out. Hope this helps!

Mine was doing the same thing only after a few months of use. I used a needle-nosed pliers to bend the hinge on the left hand side just slightly. For ours it helped to bend it to the left and we continued to use trial and error of bending slightly then closing the door and repeating this until it closed snugly against the frame. Seems like a temporary fix, but hopefully it will hold out for at least a little bit. I also tried e-mailing the company about the problem and am waiting to hear back.

Use a hammer and a big nail, or a pin punch and drift it out from the bottom. Using a hinge type door stop eventually damages the door, and the trim. Only use as a last resort. There are other options.

It can only be the back door, remove it, check for jam, put the door back on and make sure it is seated properly. Sometimes it doesn't seat all the way, use some pressure.

door angle opening is not adjustable. It opes a little more than 90 degrees omly

You can adjust the tension. I have mine set to just close the door to almost closed. This way the Air conditioning stays in and my pet can still get in and out.

There is a lip on the edge of the door that allows it to hang from the top end. Its a loose fit, but causes no issues.

If you didn't want the door, it could be removed and put back on later. I do that when I clean it. Hope this helps!

Try sucking the air our before you close it that way it's a tight fit and if that dosent work try adding some foam around it.
