I got a small plastic (for the softer flap for my 7 year old cairn terrierand and my 17 year old chihuahua. I also got a large extreme weather plastic for my 5 year old 90lb German shepherd. They went in easily enough and seem to be holding up to the constant use rather well. My only concern was about the plastic bolts. Just to play it safe I replaced the 4 corner bolts with actual bolts just to play it safe. Still, it seemed sturdy even with all of the original bolts. I really like how the flaps hold in place when the wind picks up. The large weather magnet is strong on both flaps for the large door and the small magnet is perfect for the little door. Strong enough to withstand the wind but not too much to keep my oldest from opening it. All in all, they’re working out well for me and mine, especially for the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Pet door *by on Reviewed in the United States May 22, 2026* Very happy with this pet door overall. It was easy to install, the instructions were simple to follow, and everything fit together well. The quality feels solid and durable, especially for the price.After installation, it worked exactly as expected and my pet adjusted to it quickly. I also like that it looks clean and blends in nicely with the door. Definitely recommend if you want an affordable and straightforward pet door that does the job well. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Simple installation and great for a bedroom door. *by on Reviewed in the United States April 18, 2024* We have 7 dogs and they range from 20 pounds to around 110 pounds. They all come through the door just fine. Even the 110 pounder has lots of extra room to fit through. I have installed many doggy doors throughout my house and in both of my outside doors. This certain doggy door is great for an inside door. For outside doors, I use weatherproof doggy doors. The flaps are heavier and most normal winds will not blow them open.To install the door, I did the following:Remove the door from the door frame and lay it on saw horses or whatever you have to work on. It needs to be at least a foot off the ground to complete the install. Mine was about 3’ off the ground. This keeps you from having to bend over so far to work on it1. I measured the height of my largest dog standing at her shoulders, then added 2” to give a little extra clearance. I took a pencil and made a light straight line across the door at that point.2. Next, I measured the width of the door and marked the center from the top line down to the bottom of the door.3. Next, I laid out the stencil, that comes with doggy door, and lined the center arrows up with the center line on the door and the top of the stencil with the top line I made going across the door. I held the stencil in place with some masking tape. 4 little pieces will do the trick.4. Next, I traced around the stencil with a black sharpie. This makes it easier to see where to cut the door out. Don’t worry about the black lines, what’s left of them will be hid by the frame of the doggy door. Remove the stencil when done.5. Next, I used a 1/2” drill bit and drilled a hole inside each of the corners of my lines, getting as close to the corner lines as I could.6. Next, I used a jigsaw and cut out the hole for the door. Stay on the lines as best as you can and make sure the foot of the jigsaw is flat so your cut will be straight through to the other side. When I got both sides and the bottom cut, I used a screwdriver to hold the bottom of the piece I was cutting out so it didn’t fall when I cut the top. If it falls before the cut is finished, it could break off a piece of the main door. That will make it look bad with a chunk missing out of the main door when you are finished.7. Next, measure the thickness of the main door and write it down. Add 7/8” to that measurement. My door thickness was 1 3/8”. I added 7/8” to that and got 2 1/4”. That is how wide I cut the plastic spacer pieces that went between the frames of the doggy door. Try to be as accurate as possible with this. I used a utility knife to cut the spacers. Take your time so you can make straight cuts. Make several cuts on the same line, then fold it over and it will break apart on the cut line.8. Slide the plastic pieces into the slots of the front frame section. Push them in tight. Set the frame in the cutout section of the main door. Then, install the back frame section by lining up the plastic spacer pieces with the frame slots and hold them tightly together. My wife helped me with this part by holding the frames together as I installed the plastic screws and nuts in the frames. I put the top center one in first, followed by the bottom center one. Slightly tighten these 2 but not too tight, you may have to adjust the frame position. After that, she didn’t have to hold it any more. I installed the rest of the screws and nuts. After making sure I had the frame squarely adjusted, I tightened the screws and nuts.9. With a pair of wire cutters, cut off the excess of the plastic screws. Next, I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel to grind the rest of the screw down flush so the dogs wouldn’t scratch themselves on them.10. Clean the sawdust off the door and install it back on the door frame that you removed it from. ## Frequently Bought Together - PetSafe Never Rust Plastic Doggie Door for Install in Interior and Exterior Doors or Walls, Paintable, Easy Install, Closing Panel Included, for Pets Up to 40 lb, (Medium) - PetSafe Original Replacement Flap, Dog Door Replacement Flaps, Doggie Flaps Made of Non-Toxic Material, Weather Resistant, (Size- Medium) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9212370-petsafe-plastic-dog-and-cat-door-pets-up-to-40](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/9212370-petsafe-plastic-dog-and-cat-door-pets-up-to-40) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
