If you've replaced door trim, lost a rental deposit, or cringed every time you hear your dog start to scratch the door upon your return home — you know exactly why Clawstopper exists.

Most door protectors are afterthoughts: brittle plastic, cheap adhesive, ugly as sin. Clawstopper was built from scratch to be the last one you ever buy.

WHAT'S INSIDE THE BOX

  • Multi-layer Cordura protective panel (with antimicrobial batting)
  • 8 J-channel clamps (4 × standard doors, 4 × thick doors — fits virtually all residential and hotel doors)
  • High-strength hook-and-loop attachment system
  • Travel bag — carry-on compatible, attaches to pet carrier
  • Installation guide (spoiler: it takes 60 seconds)

HOW IT WORKS

Slide the J-channel clamps onto the vertical edges of your door — hinge side and latch side - double-sided tape keeps them in place. Unfold the panel. Press it against the clamps and the Velcro locks it in place. The panel sits flush against the interior face of the door, completely hidden from anyone on the outside.

When you're done, peel the panel back, give it a single twist and it folds flat. Slip the clamps in the bag. You're out the door in under a minute. It travels with your dog.

MATERIALS & DURABILITY

The outer layer is super-tough Cordura — the same material standard used in tactical and outdoor gear. The inner batting is antimicrobial to handle anything your dog can throw at it. The spring-steel perimeter frame is what keeps the panel flat and rigid against the door, and what lets it fold down to carry-on size in seconds. The J-channel clamps are padded stainless steel - clean and tough.

We provide a 2-year product guarantee.

FITS WITH YOUR LIFE

Fits most standard doors — residential, hotel, or commercial — 32–36" wide, 1⅜"–1¾" thick. If you have French doors, order two.

WASHABLE

Hand-wash, hose-wash, or scrub clean. The antimicrobial batting handles the in-between.

Will it fit my door?

Clawstopper fits standard doors 32–36" wide and 1⅜"–1¾" thick: residential, hotel and commercial. Every box includes clamps for both thicknesses.

1 · Width 32–36" 2 · Thickness 1⅜"–1¾" Door, front view Door edge
  1. Width: measure the door itself from edge to edge, not the frame around it.
  2. Thickness: measure the edge of the door on the latch side. Most interior doors at home are 1⅜"; most hotel and commercial doors are 1¾".

French doors or double doors? You'll need one Clawstopper per door.

French bulldog sitting in front of Clawstopper dog door scratch protector installed on hotel door

Your dog doesn't care whose door it is.

New room, new smells. You step out for dinner and that's when the scratching starts. Clawstopper folds flat into its own bag, fits in a carry-on, and goes up in about 60 seconds at check-in. Clamps for home doors (1⅜") and hotel doors (1¾") both come in the box.

Where people use it
Clawstopper stainless steel clamp gripping the door edge, with the fabric panel attached by hook-and-loop strip

Installs in 60 seconds. No tools.

  1. Slide the J-channel clamps onto the door edges, hinge side and latch side. The felt-lined interior protects the door edge; a thin strip of removable, non-marking tape keeps each clamp in place.
  2. Unfold the panel and press it against the clamps. The hook-and-loop engages instantly.
  3. Done with it? Twist, fold flat, and slip the clamps in the bag.
Will it fit my door?
