anyone have this one? So far it is at the top of my list

I put two of these in my new house. One from the house into the garage and one from the garage in to the backyard. Very easy install and they work great. Strong wind will blow them open. Also I followed the height recommendations in the instructions and it probably should have been slightly higher. My dog would crouch going out the door sometimes.

I have thought about getting one but... Too many foxes that aren't afraid of my pit... Too many stray cats that aren't afraid of my pit... Anyone crawling through the door would get licked... Possibly cuddled. I'm going to make them work for that shit.

Cut the inside wall first, so if there IS something in the way, you only have an interior hole to patch.

Good advice!

Great advice, thank you. I'll probably drill a few small holes in the area and shine a light in there just to make sure it is clear and not have a big hole to patch

It looks like you've got a pretty good idea what you're doing here. My initial concern was a wire (from that outlet), or a stud. More than likely, the wire runs the other way and the outlet is attached to the stud. Interested to see how it turns out.

Make sure the silicone you buy is the Paintable stuff. Also before sealing use some of the stuff that goes between a window and the exterior wall. I can't link from my fire,or I would.

I think you are talking about backing rod and yes stuff the gap full of it or the chalking will fail. Also you can get a device that will trace wires in a wall.
