Last refreshed Aug 4, 2026 · Based on the Amazon listing and published specifications, not hands-on testing.
A good route for a medium dog that needs its own way through a door, wall or screen. Check your surface thickness and your dog's weight before ordering, because the listing gives no cutout or opening measurement.

Overview
Not a gate that blocks a hallway, this is a flap panel cut into a surface so a pet comes and goes on its own. The aluminum frame carries a flap and a locking panel that closes the opening in two directions. It is built to sit in screens, doors and walls, with the frame holding the flap in place while the lock panel shuts the passage.
Households that want the dog to reach the yard without a human opening a door get a flap that stays in the surface and a panel that can shut it. The listed weight ceiling and surface thickness are the two fit numbers to match, and neither the opening size nor the cutout template appears anywhere in the listing.
Who it's for
Homes where a medium dog needs routine access to a yard, patio or another room without someone working a door handle. Owners of large or heavy dogs should look elsewhere, and anyone whose door, wall or screen exceeds the listed thickness cannot install this panel.
Pros and cons
- Aluminum frame resists chewing and weather
- Locking panel closes the flap both ways
- Fits doors, walls and screens
- Medium breed sizing with a weight ceiling
- Opening width and height not listed
- Cutout dimensions and template not listed
- No mounting hardware stated in the box
- Weight ceiling rules out large dogs
Performance notes
The flap swings when the pet pushes through and the locking panel closes the passage when engaged, so daily use depends on matching the panel to the surface and the dog. An aluminum frame holds its shape against scratching and pushing, while the flap takes the wear from repeated passes.

Frequently asked questions
Can this Hakuna pet door go into a screen?
The listing covers screens along with doors and walls, with a maximum surface thickness of 2.8 inches. The screen frame needs to hold the panel steady, and no screen specific adapter appears in the included components.
How do I know the flap is big enough for my dog?
The listing gives a medium breed size and a 42 lb weight ceiling but no opening width or height. Measure your dog across the shoulders and compare that to the frame once you have it, since neither figure is published here.
Does the locking panel keep the dog in at night?
The panel closes the opening in two directions, so it can shut the passage when you want the pet inside. It is a closure for the flap, not a security lock for the door itself.
What happens if my door is thicker than the listed maximum?
The frame is rated for surfaces up to 2.8 inches thick, so a thicker door, wall or screen falls outside the listed fit. No extension tunnel is named in the box contents.
