Works great to keep heat and cold from in through dog door. The single flap models don't do well to keep weather out but the insulated 3 flap model works great.

Vraiment isolant !
Top ! J’avais dj utilise deux autres trappes avant. L’une avec un rabat rigide qui a bless le dos d’un de mes chiens ! En voulant sortir trop rapidement il s’est grivement bless et provoquant un choc avec le rabat sur ka colonne vertbrale.
J’ai donc achet cette chatire, car elle a un rabat souple, donc sans risques de blessures.
J’avais galement des problmes car le froid s’introduisait par la chatire, avec ce modle plus aucuns soucis ! Elle est vraiment trs isolante avec ses 3 rabats et les Rabats se reajustent parfaitement a chaques passages !
J’ai un Spitz nain de 3 kilos et 3 chats, ils passent tous sans difficults avec la taille S.
Dogs learned quickly to use it. It keeps the cold air out even when the wind is blowing . I put it in the wall so I had to order the sleeve that go's between the doggie door flaps. Easy to install but the bolts that came with would not work with the 6 inch wall. Wasn't a big deal, I framed around the opening so I was able to use wood screws to secure the door's.

Needed a dog door that would work for my 80 lb husky/lab and 30 lb beagle (the large fits both perfectly), would stay shut in really windy conditions and keep rain & snow out. This was relatively easy to install and definitely keeps the weather out – even in relatively extreme conditions. The door’s three layers also help keep the cold (and heat) out. It took some training to get the dogs to go in & out of the heavier doors, but after about a week there are no issues with that at all. I definitely recommend.

Well, if you're OCD about trying to get it to close perfectly everytime, like me. As it should though, right? The outside flap is ever-so off centered, and that you can't adjust. So trying to tweak the height without making that worse was way too much fun.

Des inconvénients mais conforme.
Pas facile installer sur des portes fines, j’ai d rajouter des cales en bois pour paissir la porte. Parfois bruyant (clac-clac) selon le chat qui l’utilise, s’il passe vite ou non dedans. Ne se referme pas toujours bien, tout dpend comment le chat y passe. Je rachterai tout de mme si besoin car peu de produits du mme type sur le march
At first I thought this door would never work. Our British Lab has some joint issues and was having a very hard time going thru. I rolled up the outer flap on the inside and he could go thru but still had trouble so I rolled up the flap on the outside of the door. Now he's going thru with no problem and his kitty buddy can now use it too.

It is so much warmer in the room by the dog door than the single flap. Once in a while it doesn’t close completely, but no problem with the dogs or cats going in and out. Very pleased with i

Genial la puerta, no enfría la sala
Muy buena puerta, bien diseada para que el perro no se haga dao y adems con varias capas para que no pase el fro. Lo nico que me est costando un poco que el perro aprenda a pasar, pero bueno eso es mi perro que tengo que ponerme con chucheras y ensearle con paciencia.
Super Qualitä
Nachdem sich unser Hund durch die alte Katzenklappe gequetscht hat und mit samt der Klappe im Garten stand, haben wir uns fr eine neue und grere Hunde- und Katzenklappe entschieden. Sie hlt was sie verspricht! Gerusche sind nicht strend, wenn der Wind durch pfeift, da die Klappe” Gummihnlich ist. Der Alurahmen ist sehr stabil und mit Plastik nicht zu vergleichen. Ich kann es nur empfehlen 🙂
I bought this because I bought a brand new house. Instead of barking my dog would scratch at the door jams and was really scratching them up. Weatherproof is great with a little caulking. And blocks the cold from coming in pretty well. Down side is installing. I was pretty hesitant to cut up a brand new door. But after I decided to do it, it turned out pretty well. Does take a while to measure and cut out the space for the door. So glad I don't have to constantly get up to let her in/out anymore and the door jams are not being damaged from her scratching. And she loves it after about 1 day of training she had it figured ou

Bonne qualité mais un peu che
Le produit est de bonne facture, isole bien et ne fait pas de bruit. Le vendeur est srieux, j’ai voulu d’abord retourner le produit car la taille que j’ai choisi tait un peu grande pour mon chien. Les rponses du vendeur ont t rapides et efficaces. J’enlve une toile car j’ai achet la taille L 80 euros et une semaine plus tard elle tait 60 euros, en promo :(.
Devo dire la verit questa porticina mi ha salvata!!!!
Ero molto scettica sul comprarla o meno.. Ma ero anche molto stanca di fare apri e chiudi. D estate tanto tanto.. Ma d inverno quando inizia a fare freddo diventa fastidioso!!
Ero scettica anche per il fatto se la compravo come la mettevo e se passava freddo…
PECCATO CHE NON LO COMPRATA PRIMA
Il mio cane un husky ho preso la taglia L si abituata subito.
Noi per esperienza abbiamo levato il vetro e ci siamo fatti fare una tavoletta di legno Marino per non far passare il freddo!!!
ANCHE DALLO SPORTELLO NON PASSA UN FILO DI VENTO…
CONSIGLIATISSIMO.
Loving this door. We have a bigger pooch as well so we got the large size. We did consider the step down on the other side of the door when determining where to cut and place the door. I had a great local handyman complete the work, and it was all done within 2 hours! Super easy and we are loving it. The dogs took about 30 minutes to fully acclimate and now MY life got easier. :)

Prodotto realizzato da professionisti del settore!
La ditta PetSafe si dimostrata professionale nel concepire tale tipo di “gattaiola” (o “canaiola” che dir si voglia) nell’imballaggio, nella fornitura di una pratica dima di montaggio, di viti in ferro o plastica per l’uso discrezionale del cliente, per le istruzioni chiarissime in italiano, per la qualit dei componenti che non esito a definire super!
E’ un articolo che costa, e parecchio, ma per me vale fino all’ultimo centesimo: non l’ho inserita in una porta di casa o in un’anta del balcone bens in un telo in PVC che mi racchiude un porticato.
Ovviamente, essendo lo spessore del telo di gran lunga inferiore al minimo previsto nel manualetto di montaggio, ho dovuto solo realizzarmi una cornice esterna ed un interna, quasi come un porta-foto ed una volta raggiunto lo spessore minimo richiesto ho installato in pochi minuti la gattaiola.
Questa mia specifica installazione indicata per l’estate, per quando il clima non ancora rigidissimo, nonostante la rassicurante tipologia della triplice tendina isolante di cui dotata la PetSafe.
Per l’inverno credo che la smonter in pochi minuti e l’applicher ad un balcone o alla porta di casa per consentire ai miei due Golden Retriever di uscire quando vogliono!
Dopo una prima esperienza con una porta analoga ma con un solo flap, definitivamente rovinato dopo tre inverni, con spifferi incredibili per via della progressiva deformazione della gomma, decido di passare alla stessa tipologia di porta ma in versione “per climi estremi” per risolvere il problema.
Il risultato stato nefasto. Le paratie di gomma esterna ed interna si sono deformate dopo un mese, le viti di fissaggio sostituite in fase di montaggio perche di infima qualit.
Le traverse sulle quali fanno presa le viti , che nella prima versione erano di alluminio, qui erano di plasticaccia che ha ceduto istantaneamente in pi punti con le sei viti in trazione, quindi rifatte con bandella di alluminio forata e filettata…. Le asole che , solo teoricamente, dovrebbero servire a registrare in altezza le paratie, oltre a non assolvere alla funzione (i magneti che dovrebbero servire per garantire una buona chiusura non possono lavorare correttamente perch non possono arrivare a sfiorarsi data la corsa insufficiente. In compenso i fori passanti de delle viti di fissaggio sono un ottimo ingresso di aria fredda, quindi da nastrare accuratamente per chiuderli.
risultato: spifferi, chiusura pessima, materiali sotto il minimo sindacale.
Quanto pagato dovrebbe essermi risarcito solo per le ore di lavoro spese per porre rimedio a ridicoli errori progettuali.
E’ il secondo che acquisto e questo rispetto al primo pi elaborato e indicato per chi lo deve installare su una porta esterna e vuole essere sicuro di non fare entrare spifferi in casa; infatti non ha un unico battente, ma addirittura tre, di cui uno, al centro, imbottito e dunque non trasparente. E’ perfetto se lo deve usare un gatto o un cane belli forzuti, ma sconsigliato per gatti “normali” o semplicemente paurosi. Il mio gatto un meticcio di 3,5 kg e si rifiuta di usare questo modello size M (mentre usa senza problemi lo stesso modello con un solo battente in silicone -comunque a prova di spifferi!) e solo la cagnolina di 9 kg, dopo molta esitazione, si decisa ad usarlo.
Adesso i cani sono autonomi
Validissima per cani di grossa taglia (2 mastine napoletane, 1 corso e 1 breton). L’aria fredda rimane fuori, i cani escono quando hanno bisogno. Abbiamo dovuto inserire dei supporti in legno perch la nostra porta del garage era pi sottile rispetto allo spessore della porta. Sulle misure era indicato quindi ne eravamo consapevoli. pi di un mese che viene usata ed ottima
davvero robusta, anche il telaio in alluminio ben fatto. Avevo letto in altre recensioni e confermo, non si pu montare nel vetro, ho dovuto far fare un pannello in legno. La misura L sembrava piccola invece perfetta per il mio cane , un meticcio simil pastore che pesa 37 kg.
Ottimo prodotto! In effetti l’aria non passa, chiude bene.
I bought it to replace an old, worn out doggy door. Install was a breeze and everything went together well. I recommend the metal screws vs the nylon as the nylon ones are easy to over torque. Material construction is excellent and appears very durable. The only issue I have is I believe the flaps could benefit from a heavier weighted magnet at the bottom, which would improve the closing and sealing of the flaps. With that stated, so far the decrease in the airflow from outside to inside has been significantly reduced and I’m very pleased with the performance. If I use the included slide in door panel to close it at night, the airflow stops completely. Very nice!
PetSafe, Chatière, enfin la chatière silencieuse et isolante qui répond à nos attentes
Aprs de nombreuses annes, a y est !!! mon mari a retrouv le sommeil.
jusqu’ prsent, la nuit tait un enfer, nous dormons l’tage et lorsque, la nuit, les chiens passaient par la chatire, le bruit du claquement de la porte, rsonnait dans notre chambre, c’tait infernale.
Suite aux bons commentaires de cette chatire, nous avons tent … et effectivement, comme il ne s’agit plus du porte rigide, le bruit c’est termin !!!!, termin les clac clac clac clac toute la journe et toute la nuit
De plus, il y a 2 “sections” ce qui permet de garder une bonne isolation de la pice.
Pour conclure, le fait que la porte est silencieuse, mes chiens sont beaucoup plus calmes (ils ne sont plus stimuls par les aboiements du chien du voisin), que du bonheu
Stops the draugh
The dogs use it all the time to go in and out but unlike the previous dog flap we had this one seals much better which stops a major draught in colder and windier weather.
Seems good quality - sprayed external panel to match anthracite doo
Seems good quality,
Have left external flap off until cat and dog are used to going through with one.
Cat is not too sure of it at them moment, hopefully it works it out with only one flap installed for a few weeks. Will probably move the one flap to the outside for weatherproofing.
Sprayed with anthracite, as the brush strips are installed before the frame is assembled, you need to notch to top to slide them out.
Storm proof pet door.
A bit on the pricey side but then you get what you pay for. Had this and been in use a number of years now and still working fine for my big clumsy dogs.
Much better than the single flap
I used a single flap door for years, I swapped to the extreme weather due to the wind blowing open the single flap allowing all the heat out of the house. This one has stopped that happening.
ISOLATION: il y a un jour de 1-2 mm de chaque ct du battant: on voit l’extrieur, et il n’est gure possible de le calfeutrer car le battant fermeture magntique doit retomber.
Par-rapport d’autres modles, celui-ci ne prsente pas de jour au-dessus du battant, comme certaines chatires qui ont un battant en plexiglas qui tourne autour d’un axe et un espace de 5-6 mm au-dessus.
Pour que la fermeture magntique fonctionne, il faut que le battant retombe suffisamment fort; c’est en gnral le cas.
L’hiver, l’ouverture peut tre condamne avec un couvercle qui est livr avec la chatire, et calfeutre avec du papier bulles et de l’adhsif de rparation.
DRESSAGE: ma chatte, une chatte d’extrieur, a mis quinze jours pour passer seule dans la chatire. Je lui ai d’abord montr l’ouverture en la laissant ouverte l’aide d’un btonnet, et en rassurant Polarfox avec des croquettes. Elle est passe rapidement avec confiance. Puis je lui ai ouvert moi-mme la chatire avec la main lorsqu’elle voulait entrer ou sortir, en laissant progressivement le battant retomber sur son dos. Elle n’entre pas dans des caisses avec battant et craint d’tre pige par ce genre de passage. Elle est parvenue sortir seule au bout de dix jours, en mon absence, et entrer seule quelques jours plus tard.
INSTALLATION: ne pas se laisser piger par un rebord de porte-fentre incurv l’extrieur. Pour placer la chatire la hauteur du passage du chat, il faut alors le travailler avec un outil multifonctions. Les grands boulons en plastique se coupent l’extrieur pour s’ajuster l’paisseur de la porte, cela peut se faire avec des ciseaux, mais ce n’est pas trs net. Des lments en plastique dur sont fournis pour faire un tunnel entre les deux pices de la chatire, ne pas se tromper dans la dcoupe: s’ils sont coups trop court, ils ne s’emboteront pas dans la chatire.
Gamechanger!
We were reluctant to install a flap big enough for our 30kg Golden Retriever on security grounds. However she was joined by a GR puppy in mid-Feb the pros and cons of the door being opened & shut multiple times persuaded us to try it. Despite our young grandchildren proving they could climb through we do not regret installing the flap which both dogs mastered in about 20 mins. We slide in the ‘lock’ at night or if we are all out, plus our back door is not visible to passers by as is behind a high locked gate. We have not had ‘draft’ issues, however the door is sheltered from high winds. The dogs love the freedom, thankfully they have stopped trying to go through at the same time!
It works
Bought the medium size for small 7kg dog, it was about right. It does seem well insulated with an inner and outer flap and insulated flap in the middle. The magnets at the bottom of the flaps seem to hold the flaps enough to stop any draughts but nothing at the sides except draught excluder, dog was using straight away.
would recommend.
Absolutely brilliant!
Simple to install with a few tools and skills . Took around 3 hours into my brick wall.
Totally weather and waterproof.
No increase in heating costs. No dratfs or water incursion whatsoever.
Took my 8 year old Border Collie 4 minutes to work it out with help from a few treats and encouragement.
Best buy of the year.
++++
Great item..but !!!Check the thickness of your door before purchase
Was a breeze to install apart from the fact it didn’t advertise that it would not fit a upvc door 25mm thick…I had to build a frame around it to compensate for the thickness of the door. Those who are not practically minded might struggle. Apart from that , very happy
Great cat flap but does let in the cold
It is a good buy but it does let the cold in but less then my last one.
Amazing
This replaced a prior dog flap and the difference is astonishing. Weatherproof sturdy and the house is significantly warmer too! Excellent customer service when I ordered the wrong size. Highly recommend the product and company.
Just as described, also more draft proof than standard cat flaps
Very weather and draft proof, helping with increased energy costs!!
Excellent item, perfect for big dogs
My lab is a big lad and fits easily in and out without it looking like a massive dog doo
Well worth the money !
Just keep the sides of the flap sides clear of fur. Just a wipe over each day for example in windy weather. If you have dogs that are malting, and their fur sticks to the sides of the dog flap opening, the flap won’t magnetically seal as tight. BRILLIANT though. FAR BETTER than the companies normal single flap option which we’ve had previously. We have six dogs, it gets some use.
Fantastic pet doo
Superb design. This was fitted into my south-facing upvc porch door (into a pvc panel – not in the glazing). My Lhasa apso dog learnt how to work the flap within days. I did as other reviewers suggested and taped up the flaps so she learnt to hop in and out through the hole, then the next day just left the central insulated flap down. The third day I dropped one of the magnetic flaps. And the fourth day she could easily push through the full door. She has lots of dog friends who visit. I was amused to see her best mate, a Border Collie/ Labrador cross, easily use the flap too (with zero training just following my dog). We’ve recently had a very strong storm with 80 mph winds. The flap has not flapped about under any weather. It has not let rain in. It does let a small draught through – but I don’t mind that at all. Really great purchase.
A nice design but be aware of thickness
A nice design, but be aware of thickness as not suitable for all uPVC doors.

Far superior to the basic one. It doesn’t blow open in extreme weathe
Three layers of “flaps”, including an insulated middle one, makes this way more energy efficient that those we have used before. My one complaint is that the flaps are secured to the doggie-door frame by a row of tiny screws along the top of the flaps. The holes for the screws are not round; they’re oblong and vertical. So, Every few days, I have to wiggle the group of flaps back upward, because the screws have allowed the flaps to slide down about 1/4″. The door still works, but the flaps overhang the frame opening at the bottom. That means the door does not swing closed as it catches on the bottom lip of the frame, leaving a gap at the bottom and making it less energy efficient. When it’s off kilter like that, the dog has to shove it a little harder to get back in. Over time I think this will wear out the door. I can’t simply tighten the screws so they don’t slide down. Trying that nearly strips the screw heads. I wish the screw holes were just circular. That would solve the problem: no room to slip down. I might fill the gaps in the screw holes with hot glue and see if that helpswhen I become frustrated enough to search for the glue gun.
The lock out panel is nice and sturdy. Easy to slide in and out. But it is not designed to stay attached. You remove it completely when not in use so that runs the risk of it getting lost/damaged.
It was a pain in the rear to install, for someone with little carpentry skills. The template wasn’t super helpful. The hardest part was drilling holes in both sides of the door so that the inner and outer frames align. You have very little room for error. I cussed. A lot. But once it was installed I felt it was a well made design, overall. I would buy it again if needed.
Easy to install and keeps cold ou
Great dog trap door. Very easy to install, you just need a jigsaw and screwdriver and away you go. The door flap is solid and keeps wind and cold out. Took the dog two days to be fully comfortable using it.
Does what it should, easy to install seems more robust than its predissesor.
Was easily installed in the same door where my dogs killed the last dog flap, seems to keep out the elements and cold air but let the dogs have free access. As the puppy is only a third of the weight of the bigger dogs he literally charges or launches himself at the dog flap.
Will have to see if it lasts longer than the original which was designed for upto 20kg dogs, mine are 3 times that so in fairness no surprise that it only lasted a month.
Ok but????
If your door is less than 40mm thick it is difficult to fi
Good dog door for Irish Wolfhound
This is a good dog door and our Irish Wolfhound is able to use it with ease but it was too big in the door to be able to fit the locking plate. However, our Wolfhound and 2 cats are happy using it.

I now have a warm house, my previous dog flap/pet door use to blow open with even a gentle breeze, and so my kitchen was always freezing cold in the winter. This door however managed to stay shut even when we had very strong winds that were blowing plant pots around, even strong enough to move my greenhouse that is weighted but not screwed down. And yet, through all this the pet door stayed closed – brilliant. I have large dogs and they are able to push the flaps open easily enough when they wish to use it and the door also has a clip on cover too which my old one didn’t for when you wish to close it off and stop the dogs going out (not that I ever do) but I least I have that as I viable and aesthetic option.
All in all a fab product, relatively easy to fit and does exactly what it claims to do.
Easy to install
Looks smart and the plastic bolts are actually really good for easy install
So easy
I didnt read any instructions. I watched utube videos b4 i bought it. This is the easiest fasted bit of diy i have ever done…..do not be scared to cut your door!
Good for large dogs
Would fit literally any dog, its huge, be sure to measure your door tho, I purchased this for my sisters house and it didn’t fit the back door so I took it back to mine and it fit my back door perfectly, we both have rottweilers and could have done with a smaller size, not complaining just for an idea for people
Much greater weatherproofing than our previous extra large dog door from Petsafe.
First I needed to make the existing hole in our door smaller. The hole template was invaluable at this stage.The-new door was easy to fit. What took the time was fitting decorative mouldings to hide the infills.
Our dog soon mastered the task of getting out of the door, but barked to come back in especially in the early hours of the morning. We put a night light in our utility room, which seems to have solved the problem!
We are confident that our new door will not blow open as readily as the previous one did.
Good flap for UK weather!
Should come with 2 covers for when you want to restrict access! Dog only knows it’s out of action from one side! (Bought anther from pet safe USA site!) flaps are sturdy, my 7kg puppy has no problem getting through.
Excellent produc
Excellent product. Much better than the one with a single flap. The corridor where my dogs flap is was cold but it’s now really snug and warm. Took dogs a while to get used to it. Cat had no problem though
Bit fiddly to fit but does a good job
Bought this to replace an existing dog flap of the same make as needed additional insulation from the weather. Installation was a bit tricky even with two people you need about six hands each to hold it all in place whilst you tighten all the fixings. However, once installed and the flaps adjusted slightly it does a great job keeping the weatherout, even the cat can still easily use it.
Good bit of ki
A massive improvement from the cheaper one we had previously. A lot better at keeping cold out but does let in a little bit, especially in strong winds. But we’re happy with i

We upgraded to the All Weather Large pet door when the wind starting blowing snow through our regular Pet Safe aluminium door. We have had Pet Safe doors for over 10 years; replacing the flaps 1-2x a year due to rough and tumble three large dog household. I contacted customer service, very helpful actually, because their website did not give the dimensions of the All Weather door. Customer service had the dimensions and gave us the tip that even though the All Weather door was a few mm wider, it should fit in the existing opening. Worked a treat! Slipped the All Weather into the previous regular opening, small nudge and screwed right together. The All Weather is thicker, so they advise buying a door spacer. Our door width was ok. The All Weather model is thicker, the reason being it is actually two regular Pet Safe doors/flap with an insulated panel in-between. The All Weather has METAL screws which was a nice improvement from the plastic ones. Three greyhounds and a jack russel took right to the new three layer arrangement. It has been gusty windy day today: no snow coming in and no draft. A note from previous posts: it may look like a gap on the sides of the flaps but ours has no gap and no draft. Highly recommended!
Cat/Dog Flap
Very pleased with this product. It is also draft-proof as claimed.
45 minutes to put togethe
Arrived quick, took about 45 minutes to fit, the dog loves it.
Can also install with mod for thin doors (<3.5cm)
Install: The install was easy, once I had made a modification because my door was only 2.5cm thick (the product suggests: most doors 4.1 – 5.7cm thick). The issue for me was the that plastic header for the middle flap is rather thick and hits the header for the outer door flap. My hack-fix was to unscrew the middle flap and saw that header down by what I needed (for me it was about 6mm) with a hack saw. I just eyeballed the cut – was not 100% straight, but when I re-attached the middle flap I had just enough space to assemble the two frames onto my door…… just. After cutting the screw holes are still visible to screw back in the middle flap and are deep enough to do so 🙂 .. well, it did say in the manual, under things you will need: “competent DIY skills” 😮 -or in my case incompetent!
Weatherproof – v-strong winds can open the flap, but then that is what the “storm shield” panel is for – so no issue there really.
Warmth – pretty good, better then other flaps I have used. My only slight issue here is that all three flaps leave a slight gap around the sides. It looks like they spent a lot of time perfecting the bottom seal and forgot this. A bit of foam or brushes would maybe solve this.
Looks great!
Great for keeping out the cold and wind
Best doggie door over ever used. Only slight issue is that it doesn’t always swing back to central position, but its still good against cold weather even when its not its its central position.

This will keep the weather out.
I already had a petsafe medium dog door, but in Scotland, it was good, but could have been better. I got someone to fit mine. From a heat retention perspective, the door is all I could wish for. The dog has no problem with it, one of the cats is ok, but the other cat has not got her head around it at all. Trays back in the house! With the centre insulated door being opaque she just doesn’t seem to think its a way out. Sure that in time this problem will go away. Overall, a very good door and worth the learning curve.
Works great – especially on an inner door with a regular Petsafe cat flap on an outer wall. I’m not detecting any draft or cold around the edges of the flap. If this were installed directly on an outer wall I’m sure we would notice some leakage, but I’m extremely impressed by how well this insulates. I doubt there’s anything better on the market.
The feral yard guard got it with a hoover encounter to send him back to his post with much haste and his usual wages served indoors to bring him back in. The OAP housecat protested about the self-service, required one flap temporarily removed and a bit of laser pointer playtime with the new installation eventually becoming just another bit of humanity to benefit from. Other than the practically useless Fisher Price plastic bolts included with the kit making this a failed product as it is sold, once replaced with functional parts this product works within reasonable expectations.
Does what it says on the ti
This is far superior to other dog flaps I have seen. The aluminium frame secures very well. The extreme weather flaps seem to do the job without any discomfort to the dog. I installed in a UPVC 28mm door so had to add an MDF spacer. Highly recommended
Easy to fi
A glazed door panel was replaced with a composite panel, into which the flap was fitted. The flap was fitted into this panel before the panel was fitted into the door. Fitting was straightforward, cutting a hole to the size of a template and then screwing the 2 halves together. The flap, like others will require adjustment in the winter and summer to compensate for expansion and extraction. It comes with a cover, so if the weather is especially bad, it will seal the dog flap. This can also stop the dog using it, should you need to.
Works well
Seems to work, not yet tried in the door.
Biggest downside is they use plastic screws.
For the cost I would have liked to see metal screws.
Great produc
Didn’t actually install it ourselves but it looked easy. Doesn’t blow in wind. Keeps warm in no draft and hard wearing. 6 small dogs and 4 cats use it on a daily basis. Great product. One slight negative is when the cover is on the pets can push through anyway but we don’t really use it so not an issue.
It's alrigh
When I close off the panel to stop my dog from going out as I left him alone for a hour, he’s managed to open it…
Other than that it’s a good produc

Very good quality
Great device well made and has been working well with 3 dogs for the last 4 months!
Great idea
I loved this but unfortunately my cats and my dogs do not like it as they cannot see out, silly animals now stay by the door until I let them all ou
It’s warmer in my house now
Pain in the arse to install not sure the description ie door thickness that it fits is right we had to add a surround to make the door thicker, definitely warmer in the house – some weather/wind will push it open but I just use the supply cover and close it on those day
Good flap
Great dog flap, keeps the weather out. Feels safe and secure.
Great for windy and cold conditions
Fantastic dog door. Easy enough to install, with a little basic DIY skill and the right tools (I fitted mine with the door still hanging, took around an hour). The triple flap is really efficient at keeping the wind and cold out. Our old flap would swing around in windy conditions, which would be noisy as well as cold. This one doesn’t do that at all, even in the worst winter conditions. It’s also very good at keeping the cold out and doesn’t suffer from condensation, which is something we experienced with other flaps. One thing to be mindful of is that your pet will not be able to see through this flap as it’s not transparent, and will need to use a bit more force to get through the door. We found this to actually be a good thing as it has forced our dog to take her time when going through, rather than sprinting through full speed! It may, though, mean it takes a little longer to train your pet to use the door.
All of my dogs have had a pet door going back 25 years+ and this is the best one we’ve ever had. We put it in a wall, and it is absolutely draft proof. I’ve had other PetSafe doors and it’s good quality material, but this is the best design they make if you live someplace where the weather gets cold. The dogs took a few days to get used to going through the 3 flaps, but now they happily scamper in and out. I ordered the wrong size but they swapped it for medium with no quibbles and sent the replacement right away. Definitely worth the price, and all toll a smooth purchase.

Delighted, we got a professional to fit it. Great produc
Very weatherproof but paint chips off & the cover is not secure
The carpenter installed it in a new door that we had fitted and it is very weather proof on a SW facing door that bears the brunt of the winter rain and wind. Unfortunately paint does not stick to it well, so the brown paint to match the door has chipped off in many places. We will try using an abrasive on it before repainting it to help the paint key onto it. Our dogs mastered removing the cover within 2 months so we are replacing the cover with a purpose made wooden cover.
Totally weatherproof flap
I found the flap quick and easy to install,and it works perfectly.
Very impressed.
Very impressed with this door as there were no draughts coming in testerday when we had the storm blow through. My Border Collie puppy loves it and the fact that it is flexible means that she doesn’t hurt her head going through at high speed!

We got this all weather 59 flap, 2 weeks after we started toilet training our 4month old pup to toilet outside. Our cocker spaniel pup took to the flap straightaway. He loves the freedom it gives him…he can go in and out all day (and night) without having to sit by the door waiting to be let in n out. We put his food bowl outside to encourage him to keep checking incase there was a surprise treat and while he was out there, he toiletted. We also gave him treats when he used the flap during the first few days. No more 5.30am wake up calls to let him out so he can toilet. We can have a lay-in n he goes out n toilets then goes back to bed.
We chose to instal our flap in the dining room wall as we have 2 sets of french doors and didnt fancy the cost of replacing them! A builder used an angle grinder to cut out a home in the double skin wall, lined it with wood, to create a tunnel, then screwed both the inside n outside flaps directly onto the wood. It took him 3hrs to do (including the clean up) and cost me 100 pounds labour. I gave the review a 5star for easy to instal because a good ‘diy’er could easily do it themselves if they can hire an angle grinder.
Theres absolutely no draft coming through the flap. The flap magnets are doing their job and we are all loving the big difference its made to all our lives…including the pup’s.
I have attached a short video n photo.
Good well made produc
Didn’t keep this one as it was a little narrow order the next size up and it’s fabulous
Medium size good for cocker spaniel
Excellent product! Our kitchen is now warm again and we don’t have to keep the door open anymore!
Dogs took a while to get used to pushing through but I’m not sure if the cat is clever enough to realise he can get through it on his own yet!
Joining inserts are a little fiddly to get together though. Flaps adjust and will keep shut in a good strong wind!

Highly reccomended
We’ve tried several of the more standard sized/priced pet doors and always found them very draughty and easily broken. This one was worth every penny, far less draughty and sturdy. Very happy with purchase

Great buy
Best cat flap we had. Its not too heavy for cats to push but heavy enough to stop the wind. Doesn’t stop the draft fully but still grea
Easy to install
Easy to install …..even for DIY nnightmares like my self….feels sturdy and think it will deftinely last a while.

Hard to fit but once in keeps out cold and droughts, now the best insulated part of our house!!
Much less drafty than other we've had
Just what you need if like us you need a cat flap diretly into a kitchen. Much less drafty than other we’ve had
very good quality and better at withstanding draughts and windy conditions than the previous basic PetSafe door it replaced
Did not keep this device, it was for dogs ...
Did not keep this device, it was for dogs not cats any bigger I could of got through there.
Installed today into a door which was made from sheet metal and the usual foam insulation.
Used a Worx Wx667.1 Sonicrafter Multi Tool that cost me 39.99 and had it done in an hour. Quite simple but you need a steady hand trying to door it whilst the door is still hung (ideally you take the door off but the hinges are broken).
The flap is great, just what I wanted with that bit of extra weather protection and looks like it will keep in the heat as best I could hope for (it is a flap over an exposed hole after all!). It has the 3 flaps inc the inner weather shield and so far with it being -2c outside is doing an ok job. Only time will tell if the flaps stay firm and tight once used for a year or so. I was happy to see you can purchase replacement flaps to bring it back to life if that happens.
So overall defiantly worth the money and after some gentle, patient, treat orientated persuasion my border terrier went through it! (Took all afternoon to get her to push through it on her own but she never says no to a bit of cheese to chase after!)
Excellent. Easy to install. My Cocker Spaniel puppy learned to use it quickly and confidently. Definitely keeps out the cold.
Does what it’s meant to. Installation is a bit fiddly. Closing mechanism isn’t really designed to keep a curious dog out, so I slide a small cabinet in front of it at night to make it “disappear”. The closing magnetic design is pretty good although it doesn’t always shut properly depending on the type of entry the dog makes. Having said that as there are flaps on both sides at least one of them is always closed. Middle insulation flap is a bit sticky sometimes. Now that it’s installed it certainly seems durable and I would expect it to last for quite a few years. Overall good produc
Performance for the weather is excellent, it keeps the warm (or cold with A/C is on) in, and the wet out! Our rear door is very much in a corner area, so there’s a lot of wind there, we’ve had no problem with the flap being opened, either by lifting or reversing by the wind.
The biggest problem we’ve had was the fitting, we were looking to add this to a uPVC door panel and then exchange it into place. Unfortunately we had to pay for specialist fitting. This is not a reflection on the unit, but it is something to beware of when purchasing.
The snap on panel, to prevent use, was a nice touch, however, it’s as large as the opening, so you have to find somewhere to store it. But fitted it works fine.
Our main issue however is with the inner (foil/thermal) layers and the seal, they sit well enough together at first, but over time the outer and inner door sits proud of the seal line. With three dogs constantly using this door, we noticed that after a fortnight it was sitting proud all the time. It was not a problem with the seal, and not a failure, it just looked out of place, like the door looked slightly stuck open. But there was no draft, and the rain has not gotten inside anywhere.
Quality-wise this feels and looks the part, our issues are only with things caused by having to install the unit, we knew we’d need to sort the door itself, and so we can’t fault this unit at all.
Nice quality, easy to follow instructions.
Lovely quality and so easy to install. The instructions were good and it gives you all 3 size templates. This small one was what I needed so I cut that out. I only had to make the hole a little longer as this was a tad bigger than my old one, (the door was busted as it was hard plastic). I like that the soft flexible plastic will not crack or break in cold weather or if it is hit with a stray football.
Took the cats a few minutes to get used to the new one, I noticed how our big fluffy one that will not use car flats, but waits for us to open the door of him, he is quite happy to go through this one no problems, first time in over 5 years he has done this so that in its self is amazing to us, we now realised that it was the cat flat he didn’t like and not that he was being lazy.
I can not fault this cat flap at all, the build quality is good, the instruction is good and my cats love it.
We had been wanting to get one of these for a while. We always used to have one on the back door but since moving to our current home, we have never got around to it. Not sure why, but so glad we did now. We have five cats, three of which are indoor cats but two are indoor/outdoor cats and like to come and go as they please. One is in and out all day long – at the front door and at the back door too! The size we got is small which is 19 x 8.6 x 28 cm which is just right for our cats. It has a 3 flap system with a central insulated flap which is great for when it’s hot or cold and it provides 3 and half times more energy efficiency than a single flap to keep out the drafts. The plastic frame can be painted to match your decor aswell which is great and is very easy to install. The cats love it!
