Completely ineffective against raccoons
As demonstrated in this video from my security camera.
I now have a useless piece of plastic in my door which I can only use in one of the "No exit" modes (completely obviating the point which is to allow my dog and cat to go outside the house to do their business while we're sleeping).
As others have pointed out, because the access control is only enforced when something tries to make the door swing inward. The raccoons have learned to lever the bottom of the door flap outward. This is allowed by the design whenever the door is operating in a mode than allows your pet to exit.
