Whoever designed this is a genius!
We have a small dog (17 pounds) who has been peeing on the carpet in our basement, and we’ve struggled to keep her out because that’s where we keep our cats’ litter boxes. After getting the carpet replaced, I resolved to find a solution. I considered installing one of those kitty cutouts in the door, but we are moving soon. I looked at numerous temporary solutions, but most of them were either too complicated or too expensive. Then I stumbled onto this little device. I honestly did not think it would work, and I almost didn’t order it, but the price was right, so I figured I’d give it a try.Wow! The moment I took it out, I was blown away by the latch’s simple, genius design. It takes five seconds to “install,” and it keeps the door open just enough for cats to slip through and dogs to stay out. The sturdy plastic is slightly flexible, so it stretches just a little, but it also holds its shape so that the door won’t ever close. Latching and unlatching is a breeze, too, for both kids and adults. I can easily do it with one hand while I’m carrying laundry. I was a little worried that our dog would be able to fit through, since she’s practically the same size as our cats. Nope! All seventeen pounds of her stays decidedly outside—no more pee on the carpet!!I seriously haven’t been this impressed with a purchase in a long, long time. It’s simple, cheap, easy to use, and effective. Whoever came up with this latch is a literal genius.

Highly recommend!
I recently purchased the FlexLatch Cat Door Holder in the XL size, and I couldn’t be happier with its performance. This product works exceptionally well and is incredibly durable.One of the standout features for me is the generous 5-inch opening it leaves for my cats to easily pass through. It’s just the right size to accommodate them comfortably. Plus, it fits my door perfectly, ensuring a secure and stable hold.The best part is how it effortlessly thwarts any attempts to close the door. If you try to shut the door, the FlexLatch Cat Door Holder promptly opens it back up, sparing you the hassle of constantly adjusting it.I’ve found this cat door holder to be a lifesaver when it comes to keeping babies or other curious pets out of certain areas, like the litter boxes or rooms that should remain off-limits. And the convenience factor is a major plus – it’s incredibly easy to undo when you need access to the room.All in all, the FlexLatch Cat Door Holder has proven to be an excellent addition to my home, offering both security and convenience. If you’re looking for a reliable solution to manage your pet’s/baby’s access to different areas, I highly recommend giving it a try.

So simple yet so effective
I recommend this to everyone with dogs & cats! It’s excellent to keep obsessive dogs out of litter or cat food. My dog (pitbull/boxer mix) was a litter fiend & this was the only solution that wasn’t incredibly inconvenient for the humans but still actually worked. I recommend just getting the XL unless your cat is literally tiny; my roommates 10lb (somewhat round) cat couldn’t fit through anything smaller than that.I’ve ordered 2 of these now and will continue to order more if the future need ever presents itself. I recommend these to all of my friends. Super simple yet effective product, no commitment of damaging doors, very renter friendly. Sometimes the simplest solutions are the best.

Really simple design and performance but ONE DRAWBACK.
Among other door locks here on Amazon this one was much more interesting. The way this one is made to work is like almost stupid easy. Instructions were provided of course. How the locking part works was the stupid easy part. Really innovative idea. I had bought the FlexLatch because I just had no success with Pet Door Strap, so I know about that already.Now all that i’ve told you above should tell you it works. However there is a drawback for me personally. There is no adjustability on the FlexLatch. You’re given exactly what it says on the description. Just 4 inches of open door space. Now if you saw that before reading this review and you’re “Well its right there. What did you expect?” Slow you’re role there. Nowhere does it say you’re locked to 4 inches. No more, no less. For me, I wanted less. I have 2 pets. A cat and a dog. The dog was rather little bit over 2 months old going on 3. Now I thought the metal pin on the FlexLatch was adjustable. There are these holes that would seem to indicate it being adjustable but there was no way to remove the pin. I didn’t want to use a tool to remove it by force.So I sent an email to the manufacturer support. They tell me it’s not adjustable at all. That it’s made to be fixed that way. What they did tell me was that I could get some foam and use it on the door knob in order to reduce a few centimeters of space. Now luckily I had some foam around to use. But it wasn’t the right type of foam. It barely reduce the open space, so I cut out a piece of a bubble lined envelope. I rolled it up and stick it in the latch. It reduced the opening for sure and held up against the dog pressing up against the door. I didn’t like that I had to improvise here. I wanted something with adjustability. So I ended up returning the FlexLatch. Look the product does work up against a bigger dog but if it’s a smaller dog and with a skinny or moderate build, it is not gonna work. It let’s a cat pass for sure but that’s about it.To the maker of FlexLatch, your product is indeed a interesting design but I feel you can somehow add in a adjustable strap to it. Like cut it in half and put a strap in the middle.

Just what I needed. Keeps the dogs out of the rooms I don’t want them in. I will be ordering more.

I love this product. Have purchased a second one. Allows air flow into my bedrooms plus access for the cats while keeping the dogs out. This is a great idea.

I purchased two of these FlexLatches to use while I am looking after some pups in my home. The cats are safe and can easily retreat if they want to and the dogs are happy. Easy to use and great quality.

The only thing I don’t like about this product is the price – a simple piece of plastic with a piece of metal – but well worth it for how easy it is to install. I purchased this latch to keep my puppy (41 lbs Goldendoodle and growing) from chasing the cats and this product has returned peace to my house. Other systems/methods like a baby gate with a small animal door, and strap restraints allowed my dog to get after the cats when used in isolation – this strap is effective alone. I highly recommend this product and wish I purchased them sooner!
