Ideal for wall installations
The pet door was easy to install. However, I thought that it was expensive for what you actually get. There are no internal extensions for between the inside and outside doors. I had to make some from plywood, adding further to the cost.

Great product! My dog was using within a few days
Great value
Useful and fun at the same time. My 2 labs are enjoying it!
Very good
Very happy with this. Puppy tends to chew on everything so this being aluminium it’s v resistant to this. Works great.
Dog door flap
I bought this to save me keeping the door open for my 19 dogs and everything from a bison cross poodle, to German shepherd and all sizes in between go through it. the smaller dogs do struggle with the relatively heavy flap but to be honest that is due to their size not the product as it is meant for bigger dogs, I have simply replaced the flap with a cloth so the little dogs can pass through, it is not as efficient but again that is not the products fault it is because I have such a range of dog sizes, It has a solid drop sheet which can be locked into place if you want to either keep dogs in or out but also if you are away for your home for any time it can be installed and would make a solid door for security reasons. I was recommended this by a friend who uses the same product for their rottweiler and they have no issues, it comes with the installation details and all the bits you need, If you need a way of letting your dogs in without holding the door all day then this might well be a good option but get the size best suited for your dog unfortunately my door is not big enough to have the full range of sizes so I went for the biggest, for the biggest of the dogs and adapted it for the rest but not everyone has 19 dogs.

Allows my dog in and out with no issue. It may be that there are bad storms at the moment, but strong winds just hold it open, making the room cold.

Its a great flap, seems durable. My only problems with it is the screws supplied are plastic and break easily, i recommend heading to a local shop and buying some strong metal bolts. The plastic screw things are terrible. Also it doesnt seem to be very wind proof, makes the kitchen very cold. Wish the magnets or the sides were a lil bette
Value for money
Very pleased with this as we have 3 dogs all happy to use it, very easy …

So much quieter that our previous plastic flaps
We have a UPVC door – so needed to get a man in to provide a new panel and fit this flap. He said it was a little painful to install – but the finished job is great. we went for this aluminium one, as we had ben through about 15 of the plastic flaps over the years. The most noticeable difference is the noise. It is completely silent when used – rather than the noisy plastic ones of the past. Both little and large dogs like it and use it without a problem. If the wind is blowing really hard (as it has been recently) it can blow open occasionally – however, we just put the cover on it – problem solved!

Should have bought this one first! Grea
Best pet flap we have ever bought, had to buy a bigger pet flap for our elderly dog to use to let herself in and out, started with a traditional hard plastic type – she would not go through it at all, was a bit scared of it I think, tried training her but it was no good.
Saw this and thought might as well try it and result – after a couple of days of encouraging her with treats to go in and out she was happy using it all the time. It has made such a difference, no more little puddles on the floor as she will now go out through the pet flap as and when she needs to.
Only negative, it does sometimes blow open slightly in the wind and can cause a draught – but the positives out way this small negative. Wish we’d bought it ages ago

Large size is plenty big enough for a 23kg dog
Very good quality. I have Spanish water dog and she has more than enough space with the large size. Mine is on a patio with screens in Spain so energy saving not an issue. Seems to shut reasonably securely.

Great product, I have two! When windy, it needs to be closed to help keep heat in your own. My dog loves it, no more stress when leaving him home.

Works well, easy to install and gives my dog the ability to spend more time outside!
Works well, my 29kg greyhound girl manages just fine with the size large. A very strong wind can blow it open but most can’t. It’s been on for 6 weeks in the middle of winter and I’ve not noticed a temperature drop or rise in heating costs. There is some condensation on the inside of the flap but as long as you put sealant around the frame it’s no real issue and to be expected. My dogs took to it after a few days of finding it scary. I do have some extra security, such as not having a thumb/turn latch, secure fence, cctv inside focused on the door, outside has a security light and I dont leave any keys out. Even if someone managed to avoid the dogs and dislocate their own shoulders to get through then anything they want still has to go back out through the flap. I also make sure the dog has an is tag just in case. I work nights and finding a dog walker for 3am is impossible lol. This gave my dogs some independence and no accidents inside! If you are in two minds about it then I’d honestly say go for it, It’s the best decision I’ve made.

This is so quie
So please with this dog flap. Because of the flexible flap it is so quiet and easy for the dogs to use. The magnetic strip keeps it closed in the strongest wind. We bought a large flap as we have a visiting Labrador, but would have just needed a medium flap if it was just for our border collies.

Crazy spaniel proof (so far!)
3 months later and still going strong with 2 crazy springers literally bounding through this hundreds of times a day! So far so good!
Far superior to plastic versions.
Aluminium unit far superior to plastic variety. Had to replace three plastic version as dogs broke them. One problem with aluminium door is the silly plastic bolts supplied which are hard to fit as thread is very tight. In the end i fitted the steel bolts and nuts supplied with the plastic door version. Door now indestructable!! I hope. Excellent product.
Happy 39th Birthday
The only one I can glue in a glass sliding door.
Much better than the rigid plastic ones!
Quiet and sturdy.
Being aluminium this is much sturdier and the flap is a softer flexible plastic with a quiet click that we cant hear in the house. Whereas the rigid plastic one that we had prior started to split after a year and was so loud! Even laid in bed we could hear the dogs going through it.
We have two springers and a large pet door. It is installed in a conservatory upvc panel. Its slightly too deep for the panel but some flexible gap filler did the trick.

Dogs prefer the rubber flap!
I bought this as a replacement for my first Petsafe ‘staywell’ dog flap. The Staywell was plastic and flimsy and my GSD did not like going through it. A few times used and it had cracked.
This one is made from a flexible rubber and he’s very happy to go through it. I guess it doesn’t smack him in the face as much. I have two GSD’s one is shorter and wider and the fussy one is a taller slim dog. The large size is fine for them both, which is good because the XL wouldn’t have fit in my conservatory door. Be aware that you should leave enough of a gap when measuring for the correct size that you can slide the shutter in without hinderance when you want to close/ lock the flap.
It doesn’t keep the weather out particularly well (we get a lot of rain in Mid Wales though!) The wind does whistle through it, probably more so than the original plastic one, but then if you’re going to cut a hole in your door you have to accept a bit of weather!
Overall I’d definitely recommend it, although it’s quite expensive for what it is – a hole in a door!
Adequate for Border Collies easy to fi
We used this for our Border Collies, it was fitted to a wooden door and works great very pleased
Excellent door flap for dogs.
Excellent value one dog goes through it,the other I have to open the door for him.
Caution UPVC doors, but give it time and it won’t open in wind.
I don’t dislike this door, it’s very easy for the dog to use, looks nice and suits how we allow dog access to the garden.
There are issues, firstly if you have a UPVC door with any kind of moulding around where you will put the door the security flap won’t work and you will have to build out an inch or so with wood to clear the moulding. The plastic screws are rubbish, had to buy replacements to get decent fit and security.
A lot of other reviews say that it will blow open in the wind, initially this is true, and my review used to agree, however now it’s been 6 months and the plastic has become less rigid with use this is not an issue, in all the latest storms it rarely blows open and if it does normally removing hair from the fur linings and putting in place fixes the problem.

Fabtastic
So easy to install, simple instructions, great for all my animals!
Happy custome
Very happy and brilliant value was 10 more every where else
good for the money
Easy to install if you have the right tools etc. The only dislike I have is the connecting screws are plastic and not at all robust, I understand why they have used them to take into account several door thicknesses but would much rather have received a number of different length bolts.
Good make, strong.
Very sturdy, looks great hopefully will stand up to our pointer running in and out.

Fantastic
Have had to of these and both have been easy to install.
Good in summer months wouldnt say any good in winter as we close it off to the elements.
A seperate cover for winter however if you put in a pvc door be careful as the cover slides downwards and on my door, it is recessed so not enough clearance for cover to slide into place. It will if i bend it and put pressure on it but hard to get out again watch your fingers! Stilla good product but blows open when windy. Putti g the cover on defeats the object of the dog flap, but saves energy.

Great flaps
Used to replace an old dog flap makes the house a lot warmer but there is a minimum thickness to your door I fitted it in a french door and had to build up thickness to fit. Plastic screws not ideal.

It was dead easy
Works really well with dog and also stays put in windy days. No water comes in when it’s raining. Seems to be really durable, much better than the hard doors that tend to crack when my enthusiastic dog hurtles out the door.

Happy with the produc
Perfect, dogs are totally independent, go in and out when they want. When it’s really windy then the flap does tend to swing open but i’m Happy and so are the herberts

Great handy pet flap
Great product but when windy I find the door doesn’t seal properly. Apart from this it’s very sturdy and well made and easy for my dog to use
If you have a dog - buy one!
Made a huge difference to our and the dog’s freedom. We can now go away for a morning/afternoon and not worry. We got a joiner to instal and our dog only took one biscuit to work out how she got through. Fantastic.

Excellent dog flap easy to put in & dogs used it straight away.

Excellent value for money cat and dog love it. It’s quieter than other pet doors have had in the past. We bought the large one and is big enough for 29.8kg poodle to fit through

Great produc
Exactly what it says on the tin, easy to install and my tall Labrador has no problems using i
Does the Job for a Basse
Looks good and easy to install also works well, both my dog and cats can use with no problems. My only criticism would be is it is not very wind resistant and does flap about in the wind, also it could do with some spacers when installing in a larger gap i.e. walls. Would definately recommend.

Dog flap for doo
Easy to fit, enables my dogs to go in and out during day when at work. Easy to clean.
Best flap I've had in a long time...
This is by far the best dog flap I’ve had put in my back door. My friend fitted it. And said it was so easy to install. My dogs have chewed previous flaps off and made a hole but with this one because the flap is so easy it doesn’t bother them at all. Lovely and big for my 3 large huskies to get through. The cover that goes over to close is is very sturdy and clips in with a dead bolt on the top so it’s very secure. I am pleased as I have had this fitted about 2 months now and it’s still sturdy and very easy to wipe clean. 5 stars as I won’t be needing to buy a new dog flap every couple of months now. Great buy A*****

Good product, dog loves it. Down side – if its windy the flap does not always close alowing draft through
The plasitc screws that come with it are useless, had to buy repalcements
Good!
Good door, awful fixing screw’s!!! My chihuahuas & husky can both use the large! Took two of us an hour to fit – so not bad!
Very good produc
Very good product. Had cat flaps in the past that have been disappointing, but not this one. Only let down is the plastic bolts, that I swapped for metal ones..

Good - but not transpare
The only point I would like to make is that the flap is not “transparent” – it is opaque. Not a problem for my dogs, but was not appreciated by the cat, who also uses it! Has taken her about 3 weeks to use it.
Excellent value! Fit for purpose, Buy your own screws!
This is a good product, our puppy is a chewer but thanks to the snap back magnet, the plastic flap is safe.
As pointed out by other reviews major flaw is the PLASTIC screws definate no no! Not fit for purpose not strong enough and again easily chewed! We immediately went to our local hardware store and bought relevant screws and bolts! All in all excellent value, and a godsend dogs should not have to hold their bladder’s all day, gives them freedom. Recommend but buy your own screws.

Doggy freedom
Once we had a handy man fit this, there was no turning back. Our beagle loves this as he has much more freedom than before, it is durable, not noisy or out of place absolutely perfect for what it does. Would highly recommend.

Ordered for my springer, she uses one at my father in laws and it allows her to go in the garden when we’re out. Bit fiddly in places to put together but worth the money

I have 2 dog doors the one in photo leads to conservatory. 2nd is in utility room. My boarder collie is very happy with these ( he wouldn’t use the old dog flap, this is a bit longer in height)

I would recommend this for strength and looksI await to see if it is weather proof
At first instalment it fits close to the panel unlike other flaps. Haveving just installed it I would recommend taking the pvc panel out of the door first
It’s an easy op ration that way
The panel fits back in with ease
Metal is stronger than plastic especially with big dogs like shepards

Would of give 5 stars if came with metal screws rather than plastic, my dog broken it with the plastic but soon mended when got some metal screws for it out of b & q.
Highly recommended
Excellent product arrived on time and no issues – the dog flap is perfect – this is the second one I have bought – Im sure the last one lasted over 6years – would recommend to anyone with a labrador or that size. I have smaller dogs too and they all use it easily. I have it fitted to a wall.

Best dog flap we've had hands dow
Best dog flap we’ve had hands down, don’t waste your money on plastics ones if you’ve had issues with them breaking due to the dogs size, wear and tear and being chewed!
Does the job !
I would have given this 5* but it is just too big and it would allow a child easy access to the house.
I have fitted a steel bar across the top fixed to our door , making the flap around 5 inches shorter and now much more secure.
The dog does have to slightly crouch to get in but has no problem. (about the size of a tall lab)
Very nicely made , good quality , almost draft proof , well worth the money ****
Excellent, strong and well made
Excellent,strong and well made. It has to be for my dog,I’m more than pleased and easy to fit .

i bought this for my 2 dobermans it works great my only problem is my property faces due west where the wind mainly comes from so windy weather in winter is not great so i bought some large flat round 10 Pack Neodymium Disc Countersunk Hole Magnets to weight the flap down much better you might have to add all of them

Take your time fitting and it'll be perfec
I didn’t do such a brilliant job fitting it. I used the template provided but I was so worried I wouldn’t make the hole big enough that I cut a little outside the line – didn’t need to do that so made life difficult for myself. Best advice here is mark it up and offer up the bit that fits thru the door to your marks to check you are going to cut it large enough to give some wriggle room but not to be too loose, then cut the hole. Once the hole was cut I invited the dogs through a few times – no problem they thought it was fun. It was easy to install and works really well, so much better than a constantly open door. We have three dogs and it didn’t take long for them to get the hang of using it so they now dive thru with confidence. Having the slide-in locking panel is great and so easy to use too but I found finding somewhere to put it where the dogs couldn’t destroy it a problem so made a hanging strap from a section of soap powder box plastic strap as you can see in the photo so I could leave it handy. Thoroughly recommend.

I used the template provided but I was so worried I wouldn’t make the hole big enough that I cut a little outside the line – didn’t need to do that so made life difficult for myself. Best advice here is mark it up and offer up the bit that fits thru the door to your marks to check you are going to cut it large enough to give some wriggle room but not to be too loose, then cut the hole. Once the hole was cut I invited the dogs through a few times – no problem they thought it was fun. It was easy to install and works really well, so much better than a constantly open door. We have three dogs and it didn’t take long for them to get the hang of using it so they now dive thru with confidence. Having the slide-in locking panel is great and so easy to use too but I found finding somewhere to put it where the dogs couldn’t destroy it a problem so made a hanging strap from a section of soap powder box plastic strap as you can see in the photo so I could leave it handy. Thoroughly recommend.
Brilliant, my dogs love it.
Brilliant, my dogs love it. Should have bought one ages ago. Easy enough to fit if you have the right tools. i.e. jigsaw etc.
