Designer Series Plastic Pet Door

An amazing dog door. I bought a smaller one from this brand back in 2018 and loved it, so I bought a bigger one when I got a bigger dog and still love it. The one currently in my door has been there for years, and I've never had a problem with it. I can easily lock it when needed, and it holds up great in California winters, so I can't say much about how it deals with snow. I went through several different dog doors in the beginning of my search and returned them all until this one. It fit perfectly and was super easy to install. I can't think of a single complaint when it comes to this dog door.

We installed the original doggy door 18 years ago so it has lasted far longer than we expected. The frame finally broke and we had to replace it. We ordered a different brand this time and returned it because it was too complicated. This is the easiest doggy door to install! And we love the slide in cover. The other brand was like a pop-on turtle shell. Again too complicated. You will LOVE this doggy door and your dog(s) will too.

I have used this exact one for probably 23 years and I buy a new one to swap out the old ones every now and then. I have many dogs and this held up to even huge pits just jumping thru it, large Shepard's, Doodles and more and never any problems. If someone had this flap just fall off, that is not the norm and either defective when it came, it was not put on right or their dogs might grab and tug on it. I can say this as 20 some years 3-4-5 dogs at a time and some HUGE and never any flap problems. The only thing I can think of after having this one all these years is, get an extra flap when they go on sale. Every 4-5 years "depending" on your area and the weather, I have the flap start to curl at the sides. I think due to the weather plus so many dogs going in and out thru it every day. Then I need to replace it or air can get in.

I had bought 2 other brand's of Dog door's both large the biggest of the 2 was only 15 1/5 in. This one is a lot bigger. My dog's can actually fit through it. And it was cheaper. It was easy to install. Make sure you have a metal cutting saw blade that will go all the way through or you will have to cut one side then flip and cut the other like I did. If you have a steel door make sure to go around all the edges you cut and grind the burrs off. You get a better fit and won't cut yourself. My cut was to long so I shimmed the bottom with a piece of 2 x 2 . It worked fine. Make sure to start all screws then tighten each one a little at a time until it's all tight but don't over tighten or you will strip out the holes. If you do tighten all the other screws then put a drop of super glue in screw hole and screw the screw in to coat threads and clamp or hold it down till it sets. I live in Oklahoma so we get strong winds. When the winds hit 30 + it blows open. Other than that I love it.

I have purchased two of these (for different reasons houses). This is a good size for cats and small-medium sized dogs. In my old house, I installed it through a stud wall. To fill the extra depth I cut PVC and caulked to make it water-tight. The flexible flap with magnetic attachment at the bottom works well—-easy for cats to open, but reseals every time.

I purchased this door in the extra large size, which my 80 pound pit can easily fit through. This was just delivered today so I have yet to see how it holds up over time, but it feels very secure in the door. The installation instructions are very simple which might be intimidating for someone who is looking for detailed step-by-step guidance. Do some YouTube research on how to do this beforehand if you're worried about being able to do this on your own if you aren't able to hire someone to install it for you. The template that's provided is just the flap cover, which is taller than the actual passage through the door itself. You won't have a snug, secure fit if you just trace and cut this size of hole out of your door so you'll need to improvise a layout. I used the flap cover as a template for the bottom and sides, then lined up the actual dog door in those lines and marked the top of that as a guideline for the last side of my markings to cut. I used a 1/2 inch drill bit to drill out each corner of the door layout and then used a sawzall to cut from corner to corner. Once you have the hole cut out of your door, you just slide the front and back halves of the dog door in and screw them together with the screws provided. You'll need to caulk around the edges if your door has concave panels like mine for natureproofing. I'm definitely a beginner with very little DIY home renovation experience but this only took me about 20 minutes to install. Overall, my only complaint is that this does not come with a perfectly sized door layout to cut your hole, as others have mentioned, but would definitely still recommend!

I bought a size too small and I am NOT a handy man so was afraid to cut a hole in my door so hired a handy man who charged $200 to install it!!! This brand electronic door is well worth the money. It keeps out cold and critters and there is even a customer support line if you have any questions. I expected the door to open on its own when activated by the key but the dog has to push it open with their nose. That's fine but it's a tad heavier than the ones that are just a plastic flat and don't lock or keep out cold and that wear out pretty fast. Also, no electrical needed - it's all battery operated and even though my dog will lay near it and keep it going off over and over, the batteries last a long time. Changing them requires a screw driver and I think I will have to reprogram it when I replace the batteries. That's no big deal but I will have to refer back to the directions to refresh my memory as to how to program it for my dog's key tag. I love this thing. I have a 26 pound wire fox terrier - about 17 inches at the shoulder and he has to shimmy through it and he's not crazy about that so I often just open the regular people door for him. That's totally my mistake because the website says to get a bigger size for a dog the size of mine. I thought since this small size was about the size of the old just a plastic flap doggy door that I could get away with this smaller door. I think the next size up would be a considerably heavier door and it might take some doing to get my dog to push through such a heavy door. But, no worries about unwanted critters getting in and keeping out the weather is a huge improvement over the plastic flaps that potentially let anything (critters, weather, people) in. Maybe one day I will upgrade to the next size up. The door I bought ended up also being too wide for the door where I wanted it installed, so we just framed the hole we cut in the door with scrap wood and that easily filled the gap. I wouldn't want to be without a doggy door like this! My dog can escape in case of fire even if I'm not home. He can go potty whenever he needs and he can patrol the yard whenever he chooses. My dog loves it too!

Sorry. My dog won't use it. Its too clean. No seriously though, every time I've ever replaced the flap my dog would get upset. But it was time to get an entire new door so he's gonna rebel until he sees a squirrel or hears the mail truck. But this new door replaced a 24 year old doggie door. I was really worried that it wasn't going to fit because it's been so long and I didn't want to have to get a new house door or do more cutting. Gosh was I relieved when this new one slid right into place. You know how things made nowadays aren't quite up to the quality of things made years ago? Well putting the old door next to the new, the quality is still there. The type of plastic used feels a little bit different but I can't see why this one wouldn't last 24 years as well. Although I won't wait that long to replace it again. I only hesitated because I wasn't sure I could find one that would fit. Anyway, it's a good door if you're looking for one.

I wanted a pet door for a long time for a mechanical room where our cat litter box was placed. Finally ordered this door based on good reviews and simple use for a cat, also liked a clear flap so that a cat can see through. Installation took us about 1 hour, but easy enough to install. I referred a few reviews from amazon for installation advice. Door is simple, durable and well made. Cat took a few days to learn to use the door, but now no hesitation :) I am very happy with the product!

A porta é firme, e permite um excelente acabamento. A borda em metal nao deixa o plástico balançar com o vento, e a passagem do meu York é muito suave. Recomendo.

Cómo tengo perro grande es muy difícil encontrar una puerta especial por el tamaño de mi perro, pero Amazon la tenía y me llegó súper rápido

Excelente producto, ya había comprado el de la marca de la competencia y no sabía si esta marca saldría igual de buena. Lo que me gustó es que la tapa se pone deslinzandola hacia abajo, y cierra bien, la de la otra marca, la tapa solo se sobre pone y mis perros la pueden empujar fácilmente con la cabeza o con las patas, ésta tiene un cierre más "hermético".

Great product
