This thing is AMAZING
Backstory: For the last year and a half we've just kept Chicken's litter box in the bathtub of our main bathroom (99% of the time we just use the 3/4 bathroom attached to our bedroom since it's just the two of us, and due to the Global Panorama it's not like we've had a lot of company that would need to use the shower in there anyway, so it's been a pretty good solution). He doesn't spray or "miss" the box at all, but he IS a digger - for which we are very grateful, because he does an excellent job at burying his poops, which definitely keeps the smell down. BUT, because he likes digging/burying so much, he often ends up with a bunch of extra/loose litter...so I sealed up the drain in the tub (Glad Press 'n Seal is good for SO much more than just leftovers in your fridge) to make sure nothing ended up in the pipes, and bam, easy peasy litter containment.HOWEVER, now that my partner and I have both received our second dose of vaccine, and my parents several states away have ALSO received both of their doses, they've decided that they're going to make the drive over and stay with us for a week or two. We're all pretty excited, because it's been over a year since we've seen each other, and eventually video chats just don't cut it anymore! We didn't really want them having to come into our bedroom to get to the bathroom to shower while they're here, so it was time to find a new home for the litterbox.The dogs are well behaved, and know the litterbox isn't for them, so we weren't concerned necessarily with that part of the relocation, but the room we decided to move it in to did have some other boxes, storage, ammunition, hunting/camping gear/supplies that we didn't want to risk them getting in to, so we started looking at cat doors/flaps for interior doors...and they were either more expensive than we wanted to spend or they required a lot more cutting/construction/installation work than we really had the time for right now. Which is why we settled on this contraption.We got two, one for the room where Chicken's new setup was going to be, and also one for our bedroom (we sleep in our birthday suits, and all three of the animals sleep with us, so while we weren't concerned about the dogs being "locked in" the room with us every night, we did want to make sure the cat could come and go as he needed to, without leaving our door wide open, because let's face it, nobody's parents want to see their adult kid and kid's partner nakey every night, so...They took all of 30 seconds to "install", and they work exactly as advertised. No clumsy or finnicky clips/latches to fight with when coming into or going out of a room. Literally just drop the pin/hook end into the receiver/hole piece to "lock" it, and lift it up/out to open it. The plastic is thick and sturdy. the strap and buckle are high quality and look pretty nice (better than plain old nylon type material). The foam piece to stop the door from being able to close completely is firm and has a nice "grip" on the door so it doesn't slide around or fall down.Overall this was an excellent buy, and I'm glad I got two of them right away. I'm also glad we didn't have to take the time to cut holes in our doors, because now if we ever need to change the location of the litterbox again in the future and we need/want to keep the cat out of that room, we still have the ability to close the door (whereas one of the more inexpensive cat flaps would have basically created a permanent entryway for him since the "cheap" options don't have locks/latches).Highly recommended!

Keeps the dog out
Works well in keeping my dog out of my cat’s food. The latch and hook attach to the door and door jam via strong adhesive. When I first installed it, my dog would try to push her head through the gap but they haven’t loosened. A pretty great gadget without having to drill holes or cut your door. Would recommend.

Easy to Install, and They Do the Trick!
I've bought two of these now, and can't recommend them enough. They are incredibly easy to install, simple to use, and very effective! We have one on a regular door and one on a sliding wood door, and the straps work great on each. The first one I bought has been installed for over a year, and there has been no issue with the adhesive coming loose so far. My dog has been very disappointed (thankfully)!

Absolutely works, great for keeping pets/animals out
The best $20 I have spent in a long, long time. This thing is durable; it might tear the door down before the actual product breaks. Easy to install, can attach on any door. My door's frame is cracked, so my cats tend to push it open and get into things while I'm gone, with this, I don't have to worry. This device is worth every penny, it works as advertised.

Gives my cat some peace
I like this product a lot, it keeps my dog out of or contained in our bedroom but lets my cat come and go. Super easy to install; you just stick em on the door and frame, no screws. The design lets you close the door fully if you want, too. I think the adhesives could have been made a little stronger. A couple times now they've come off the door and we've had to replace the adhesive. Easy to fix, but just a bit wasteful and annoying. It's also a bit expensive in my opinion. I feel like this could be jerry rigged at home for cheap, but I bought it so obviously I found value in it.

Brilliant door latch and stopper combo
This door latch/stopper combination is brilliant! We were trying to find a solution to make a safe space for our kitten away from our dog and did not want the hassle of a baby gate (which is what our vet recommended). This latch and stopper works perfectly to allow the kitten in and out while being super easy for my children and I to use many times daily.

Exactly What I Needed!
The Door Buddy is exactly what I needed for my apartment! I have two doors now with a Door Buddy installed where the product is serving two different purposes. The first is the bathroom door where the litter box is located. It's perfect to keep my nosy Labrador out of the litter box and give my cat her deserved privacy. After installation when he would still try to follow my cat into the bathroom and pushed against the door, the Door Buddy held strong. The removal door stopper is great for when guests or I use the bathroom and want to completely shut the door for our privacy.I recently purchased a second Door Buddy because my cat has taught herself to open bifold doors to access where I store their food. In this second installation, I was able to tighten the included strap to keep her out of the closet while I'm quickly able to remove the latch to access it. However, you could easily install the Door Buddy to allow for your cat to enter through a bifold door if that was your desire.I've recommended this product to multiple people by word of mouth, but I wanted to do so here because of how well it's worked for my pets and me. My original Door Buddy to the bathroom door has survived a cross-country move and reinstallation in a new bathroom. It was simple to remove without leaving marks and quick to reinstall with 3M stickers. A Door Buddy is 100% worth your money!
