You can use clothes pegs to keep the flap open. One on each side as near to the hinge as possible.

Out of three cats, one will still not use the door, so I'm too searching for vids to help me. I also kept the flap open, but maybe i left it too long, (months) because she refuses to use it if it's not open. I'll try the slowly lowering it next summer, it's already too cold. The one who got it the fastest was my big former ferrel cat; go figure. Maybe, before me, he survived by being the neighborhood cat burglar through other people's cat doors. Anyway, thanks for the vid, I'll try this.

We're in the middle of training right now. One thing I'm not a fan of, and there's no way to prevent it, is how the door more or less snaps into the neutral position due to the magnet. It has startled my cat. I hope she'll get over it soon. 🙂 But there's nothing like a good food bribery to get them to go out of their comfort zone! 😆

I have a outside condo for 2 outside Cats i care for. Its heated and insulated, with 2 of these doors on the house. Before it gets too cold outside, i put it out there. I don't think they have used it yet. I put treats inside this afternoon, im definitely going to use the tape. I almost removed one of the doors just to get them acclimated. I want to thank you for the tips, i hope it works. I paid a lot of money to keep them warm, hope to god they use it. Michigan gets so cold. keep you posted, thanks again 👍
