"50 characters, I love the cat door and that's it automatic, fast shipping."
"The timer and lock do not work which is the only reason to buy this door. Now I have a hole in the wall with a non working cat door which I will have to return and then install a new one which may not even work. Really disappointed with this product and will not ever buy from this manufacture again...."
