Very happy with this item. Our cats have no problem using the cat door.
Very easy to install. I didn’t do a permanent install with the screws as I was going to pull it for the winter and vacations and such. There’s a small gap because it’s not exactly square. It’s made from aluminum and isn’t the most durable thing in the world. I had to use some painter’s tape to cover up a couple of gapes between the frame and the door that let air and small bugs in.
Size wise, my Standard Poodle can squeeze through without damage and our small cat didn’t have a problem either.

This door has been a lifesaver. Seals pretty good so doesn’t let cold air in. We did have to add a reinforcement board because our Dogs kept blasting through it and it was a little loose. It does make the opening to your sliding glass door smaller, so if you are a larger person, you may not be able to fit through!

Perfect for my apartment. My dog took a few days to get used to it and now is able to use it.

My dogs and cats have now their own living room at the basement. Some of them learned how to use it inmediately, others need more time. Though we live in Spain, it was so much cheaper Amazon from the UK that the Spanish Amazon. The door was too tall for our window but we had it cut, no problem about it. We are very happy and satisfied.
Dog door easy. But should have got large. Opening runs small
I like the fact that my dog go outside and do her business without me having to get up every 15 minutes. Only downside I didn’t measure the lip to the back door, I should say the unit fit perfectly but I couldn’t get it to fit over the backdoor lip. I had that to correct the my mistake of the door to fit, I am pleased, my dog is happy, my home is warm.
Had a dog door before we moved and thought we could do without here…No way!! This new door is sturdier and our lives are much improved not having to be constantly opening and closing the slider. It also leaves the hot air in as well.
This fits great in the sliding glass doorway, is slightly adjustable to the height of the doorway. Easy to put in and take out. Easy to assemble. the dogs love it. It freed us up a ton. We have 2 big labs and a small dog and we worried about our 70 pound lab fitting through it, but he has no problems at all.
This dog door is perfect for me and my little dog, however I do live in an upstairs apartment, if I were downstairs I would not use this as it would result in a serious safety issue. It does come with a locking mechanism but still would not provide an actual locked door.
I am so happy with this pet door solution and so are my fur babies. We rent and this allows us the convenience of a pet door with no cutting required.
It is very sturdy. My only complaint is the size. I have a German shepherd and blood hound they get in but is tight fit. I did purchase the extra large
This is a good door. It’s sturdy, well insulated and very easy to install. It took my two cats just a couple ours to figure out.
Easy enough to install, but pick up some extra weather stripping to seal the edges
eeded the door badly. i’m to old to keep getting up to let the dogs out. i’ts working GREAT. Thank you door.
Great product but when opened one small side connector for the two glass pieces was missing.. have to find some kind of replacement..would be great is Amazon or the vender would send.. photo included.
This pet door easily snaps in and out of sliding glass doors. Although I saw comments saying that it was made to stay put, we have no problem popping it out and storing it when we are away from home and want to keep the sliders locked. Good product, good price.
No effort and perfect for both my cat and dog…size medium.
We have had this dog door for our miniature schnauzer for about a year. It took her about a week to get used to going in and out of it. After that she loves to be able to go outside on her own. She does not even want to be walked any more. She likes to use the door to go outside and bask in the sun or cool off if she is hot. We bought the medium sized dog door. The price is a little to expensive. We used a plastic pipe and cut about a third of it off long ways so that the sliding door will not remain open. The dog door comes with a door lock but in requires drilling etc which may allow bugs to enter your house.

I loved the idea, but unfortunately as this arrived my cat went on the lamb and disappeared – so I had to return. It was not out of the package, so I cannot speak on the above. I did find it costly tho’.
Perfect for letting my dogs get out of the house without opening the patio doors
This invention saved me from having to come home and let the puppy during the day. I bolted the crate to the door frame and she can come in and out all day while keeping my house secure. Well worth the purchase.
-I wish they had used see through pet door panel instead of frosted. The doggies look through the glass beside the flap. I have to keep reminding the dog where the opening is.

This locks well, I have small dogs 5 to 10 lbs, they all go through with no problem now that they figured out how to use.
Very good useful, pets started using it eight away once we showed them

This is a lifesaver. I’m thankfully no longer a doorman for my dog. It was easy to put together and fit and the quality is very good!
It is perfect for our pet that needs access to go outside when we are not home.

I really like the look of it. It looks like it belongs. The door opening is of course a little smaller now, but still wide enough. Ideal for my dog to be able to go out on the deck when I am not home.
What a great idea!! Great quality and easy to install. Now I just have to get my pup to use it haha

Great product. A little hard to install, as my patio door is older. The first one came defective, but they sent out a new one within days at no charge. Great customer service!
This is sturdy enough but I was disappointed that I could not secure it to my sliding door. The slider is not flush with the pet door so the locks didn’t work. The flap is stronger than other doors I’ve seen.
This was a great alternative to a traditional built in dog doors when you only have a sliding door. We moved and our dogs had no transitioning in figuring it out how to get in and outside. I hope I’m as happy with this item when winter comes.
I bought this as a stopgap to let my cat out through a sliding door until I can get the doors replaced. As an interim measure it works well – it wasn’t made for double glazing. It was easy to adapt with a little ingenuity. I am satisfied with the product but wish someone would make one for double glazing.
Love this door for my two little girls! My Pekingese took to it right away but my little yorkie always made me open it for her. She didn’t understand how to use it. After MONTHS she one day figured it out! I was so proud of and no more being a doorman!
Good product, could have been better. It is not very sturdy.
We love it. It allows our dog to go in and out as he needs or wants.

We upgraded our medium door after adopting our Lab. PetSafe products are amazing – can’t beat the quality. Super easy to install, easy for pet to use, looks great and blends in well with sliding door. Definitely recommend this or any PetSafe product!
It was about 1/2 inch to big for my door, so I took off the top spring panel and it’s perfect now. I did email PetSafe and asked for ideas on how to make it work, and never got a reply, but that’s ok, I figured it out.
I liked the solid feel to the pet door once it was in place.
My Little Koko )chihuahua) 14 years old. He just loved his new door and it and took to it instantly. Even tho he has to push a little to get the flap open… He only enjoyed it for 3 weeks and he passed away. I hated the door then cause he went out and died in the backyard. Not in his warm bed.
I have thrown away the carton. If I pack it up securely, can I return it? Please as I have no want to get another dog again.
Cheers
Thank You

We are very happy with this Pet Door. It was easy to install and it took our 6 mos. old Puppy about one week to fully get used to it and use it as he his supposed to. The price is also very reasonable. I had checked with Window Installers and most of them did not even respond to my request, and the ones that did, the price tag was $ 900 +, but that would have been a permanent door. . Also, the fact that it can be easily taken back out and moved is a big plus. Overall, I can highly recommend this door.

The door was easy to install but the large dog size is a little small. It is tall, but not real wide and one of my dogs sides rub against it when he goes through it.
I ordered the pet door for a huge custom slider and it would not allow the slider to close up tight against the pet safe pet door. I called the company, they worked me through the troubleshooting and found out my slider was a custom type and would not work with any products. They advised me to contact Amazon, since I purchased through them for a return for credit. The PetSafe company was very easy to work with, the refund went through immediately. I’m sorry that my sliding door is not the average type as I would have loved to use their product. I have family that uses their product and loves it.
We purchased this door as we wanted to use it in our vacation home but remove it when we left. The door works perfectly. We did not install the screws so we just slide it in and then remove it when we leave.
The actual piece that goes into the sliding glass door is great. My issue is with the accessories such as the weather stripping. Neither of the provided weather stripping pieces worked. They both fell off shortly after being put on. I do like the door part though which is why I still have it 4 stars.

Love it – had to have professional install it – but my dog cant live without it. NOTE — cant use screen door with it – it blocks the opening of the dog door…so we use it but there is a gap.
It works great. When we received it the removable door was cracked and one of the panels was dented in. No damage to outside of box except one edge.

best purchase I ever made, works great having 3 dogs and a gated deck area!
it fits into door no trouble and the cat took one look at it and started using. Had to remove the mag strip at the bottom though as too heavy for the ca
Great solution to having only a sliding glass door to use as a doggie door. Initial installation was really easy. Securing the pet door to the frame so that you can lock the door is a little more tricky. Otherwise, very happy with purchase!
My only concern is that we may never be able to change our mind about this installation since we had to put screws into the sliding door frame.
But that said, it’s a great help and our 2 huge dogs (85# built like a brick pitbull, and lanky 85# labrador) both fit through no problems.
Very effective, but rather hard to install. Also, the adhesive for the weatherstripping is inadequate.
Installation wasn’t too bad, but it was more invasive than I expected. I thought this would be something I would take with me when I move, but since I put some holes in the door installing it, I’ll have to leave it behind. I will definitely buy another one when I move. The instruction could use some revision.
Got the door,unpacked it. Was impressed at how well it’s built,and looks. Fairly good instruction book. However,I nevered installed it. My bad I guess you might say. I did not know the difference in dominations of Aluminum and Vinyl doors. Their bad,they don’t say if it’s for what instillation the doors for. Had to pack it up and send it back. The reason for 4 Stars. However,had it turned out differently,most likely a 5 Star rating. It was very nice.

I was able to install the pet door by myself with the very helpful video of a woman installing one. It did require 2 extra rolls of weather seal tape, so be prepared for that. When I finished I looked at my 95 pound dog and thought there is no way she will fit through the door even though it is for large dogs up to 100 lobs. But with the temptation of treats, she was soon jumping right through! My only problem is it came with a small corner of the closing panel on the entrance door broken off. I could find no way to contact the seller to just replace that part. If someone can tell me how to do that, I would give the product 5 stars.
This pet access door looks great, fits well and my pets love it. My dog used to get out of the yard when I left him for a few days even with a pet sitter coming by. He didn’t try to run away during my last vacation because he could come in and out! Solved a huge dilemma for me.
The first door I received was missing parts, I called the company and they rushed me a new one! They also told me to donate the one missing parts to a rescue or animal shelter and they could probably make the door work! Amazing company with great service AND it’s so nice having my dogs let themselves in and out! It is also great quality! I was worried about the new panel not sealing properly with my existing sliding door, making cold or hot hair come into the house. Turns out, that didn’t happen at all! I love it and would recommend this for anyone!

Our dogs have a new-found independence and I no longer have to listen to them ringing their person-slave door bell when they want to go out! It took a few days and lots of treats to convince my shy pups to use the door, but now they’re in & out all day long without assistance. The door is steady and relatively well insulated. We’ve had the door up for 6 months without a problem. Super happy with the purchase.
I have had the door installed for 4 years now and we can no longer live without it. It’s still as sturdy as ever (even with my Jack Russell running through it full speed). Dogs love it, cat loves it, humans love it. Raccoon peaked in once but thankfully decided he didn’t love it.

Door is very well made, was easy to put together and install. Looks great.
Only suggestion I would make is to have an adjustable top panel with a
knob to adjust as some other doors have. It would make it easier to move
to different doors. This one is secured with screws which you need to drill
a hole for in the top panel. If you want to move the door to another location,
you have to remove the screws. On the up side it is probably more secure.
Took awhile for our kitty to get used to the door but after a month he comes
and goes like he owns the place (which, it turns out, he does, lol).

Good product for renters if you live in a good neighborhood
so far so good, this one along with most other doggy doors lets in cool air, gut our dog likes it was well!!!!
Love this product. No more opening and closing the sliding door 100+ times a day!
Wish I would have gotten one before, my pets LOVE i
An answer to prayers for us, cats, not so much. They don’t like going outside. Maybe when it is not over 95 degrees, they will. VERY easy to use, we modified it a bit to fit what we needed. We love not having kitty litter in our house. Cats go directly from home to the outside cattery through this door, where potty, food, and water are. I can see why they sell the plastic door replacements. Our big cat chewed the heck out of it the first day!
Pleasantly surprised. It’s a sturdy unit and easily installed with no permanent marks to the door or frame.
I would recommend buying an extra strip that blocks air from the new gap between the windows and install the extra one on the outside. I had a very small draft at the edges with only the one but the second strip fixed that.
I love that it is adjustable to size of frame, very easy install. The locks didn’t match up on my slider, but I live in an upstairs apt- so slider is prob old and since I’m upstairs it doesn’t really matter that I can’t lock it.
Great door, made well. Our dogs got used to going in and out almost immediately. We have one younger dog and one senior dog. We were concerned if the senior dog would take to it, however, she followed the younger one out and back in and got it in no time. A couple of suggestions I would recommend watching the video. However, to avoid what we went through in placing door on track make sure, if you have a lip on the outside of your door frame, then follow those specific alternate instructions in the manual. It was a bit of a challenge getting the door on the track for us because of the 1 inch outer lip we had on our sliders.

Easy to install, this did not require harming doorway and thus would be great for a renter as well as a home owner who didn’t want to drill holes. Also our chihuahua quickly learned to use it. Some cold air comes in, but I do not think any other would be better.
Easy install, and can be installed without screwing into patio door frame. Very important when you rent. One less star because had to buy more insulation nor enough with the door.
My 90+lb dog fits thru just fine. only took 1 day with treats to get dog to know how to use door.
I love it. Feels very sturdy and easy to install. My dog used it after 3 tries!!!
The door was a little more difficult to assemble than I thought–a better description on the screws would have helped as there were several different ones for different uses and the photos make it difficult to tell which ones were to be used for what function. I had a little difficulty lining up the holes on one side–they were a little off so the door actually has a slight gap in the middle on one side–enough so that I had to purchase something to seal it. The door is very easy to install. I did not install the locks as prior experience with other doggy doors has proven to me that the locks are ineffective so I just got a bar to put into the track. I am going to have to purchase additional weather stripping. I wish enough was provided to do the screen door so that it could be effective used with the doggie door so I’m going to purchase more and edge my screen door so that I get a “close” with it too.
Love the door. It’s great for an apartment. My only complaint is I had a difficult time sealing the ‘joint’ between the actual patio door and the PetSafe door. I used a number of window/door sealant strips (after using all they sent) to finally seal all the air gaps. I also used two wooden dowels to add pressure to the door to lock it down and add pressure to the sealant strips. One cat loves it, the other one is still getting used to the idea. All-in-all, a great product.
I agree with the other reviewers about the quality of the pet door. It also blends in well with my existing sliding door. So far so good…right? Well, installing the door is no simple feat. Not only do you have to drill into the metal frame, the instructions in general are not very clear. In the end I had to get my engineer husband to interpret some of the instructions (and I’m still not sure what to do with the metal T-clips). Anyway, I needed to do a permanent install but I guess if you live in a condo/apt high up in the sky and don’t have to worry about anyone breaking into your house through your balcony, then you’d be ok do just do a minimal installation. I’d buy it again now that I know what to expect from the installation process but if you don’t own tools (ie drill) or if you’re easily intimidated by a lot of vague instructions, then this product may not be for you; hence the 4 star rating.
I chose this door because it came in two parts and I could make it fit my slider. It was all that I hoped for!
I got this pet door yesterday and I saw all the parts and screws. The instructions showed what tools I would need so I put it away for another day. Then I went back to it that evening and I realized that you didn’t have to use all the parts and the screws but just the screws to attach the top section of the door to the bottom section of the door and then put it in place in the tracks of the sliding door. Close the door flush against the pet door and it was installed. Oreo, my dog, is still getting use to it by he is using it and I am quite satisfied. Very nice door and very sturdy. Worth every penny.

Excellent for a sliding glass door…very sturdy and looks nice
