Upgraded our standard door to this “weather” door. Big improvement in temperature control.
Hace muy bien su funcin, asla bien, los perros se acostumbran y les gusta.
Mein Fehler, zuerst zu hoch eingebaut, unbedingt auf Gehhhe einbauen. Es scheppert beim zufallen durch den Magnetstreifen, also nicht geruschlos. Fr meine beiden alten Rden kein Thema, meine sensible Hndin macht daraus ein Drama.
La puerta est muy bien,aunque tuve que devolverla y pedir una ms grande,que mi gato de 7 kilos por la de talla S digamos no sala fuera sin problemas que digamos,en la descripcin ponen el tamao de marco exterior y eso no lo tuve en cuenta,porque de los 19 cm que ponen,se queda en 13,asi que para un gato normal y corriente de tamao, es muy justa(no hablo ya del mo que pesa casi 8 kilos,sino de los dems ,ms pequeos de unos 5-6 kilos).Con la lluvia funciona genial,no entra ni una gota de agua.Le pongo 4 estrellas por eso,las medidas,por lo dems estupenda la recomiendo. El sistema de bloqueo,muy simple,ponindole una tapa que viene incluida, mucho mejor que los chismes en las puertas de estas de plstico, de una sola capa,que se bloquean en mi caso solas y tuve que quitarlas,que al salir y entrar los gatos se bloqueaba cuando quera.
We like the double flaps with the additional middle flap. Helped keep the cold air to an acceptable minimum. Used it on an external door leading to an enclosed patio.
I love this doggy door! It works very well and my doggie loves it too!
Great product. Extra flap keeps outdoors out and indoors in while allowing animals to come in and ou
Mi serviva una porta basculante per i miei cani cos potessero essere liberi di uscire e rientrare. Questa porta perfetta anche come strutturata e coibentata.
A real asset for our patio. Probably more than we need, but we used this unit in a previous cold weather home and it is excellent weatherwise and tough for hard charging dogs. As a patio entry we could have used a much less expensive door, but we consider this lifetime. Not easy to install in a patio setup without traditional doors. You have to improvise.
Vraiment aucun regret : installation super facile, ma prote tait trop ‘fine’ j’ai donc simplement dcoup le cadre de la chatire et l’installation se fait sans difficult
L’tanchit est bonne avec les trois volets, et surtout surtout le bruit est vraiment limit (par rapport des chatires qui tapent et deviennent vite insupportables)
Mon chien de taille moyenne passe et mme mon chat de 6 mois (j’avais des craintes en lisant d’autres commentaires mais il se dbrouille tout seul !)
Aucun regret, en place depuis plusieurs mois et sans soucis
Nota : pensez ne pas installer trop prs de la serrure (pour viter de pouvoir ouvrir la porte de l’extrieur !)
I has originally bought the plastic non storm version, but found it would blow open during wind and rain. I bought this version and the aluminum framed one and it is such better quality and now with the three flaps no wind or rain get thru and the area is no longer as hot! I would recommend this one over any other!
After reading reviews, I was expecting to be not 100% satisfied.
It seems like the doors have been improved, biased on reviews. I received plastic, AND metal screws. The door flap holder thing is metal also, others complained about it being plastic. The flaps do not leave gaps around the edges i’m really happy with it.
This is the second one I have bought and installed in my second house. Directions are easy to follow and my girls love i
he screes they provide not really long enough to go through the door and screw on the other together . I wound up having a screw them directly into a solid core door with smaller screws because I didn’t have the longer screws. i do love the triple flaps, the middle one is not see through, and since the doggie door is in a bathroom it feels more private. but one of my dogs won’t go through it because she can’t see out it.
I have been replacing the single flap on my prior doggy door every four years. We started getting some rain coming in when a large storm came through town. This time I took the chance to replace same brand door with the more weather resistant version and so far so good.
I will say that it should’ve been a ten minute job if the original installer had lined up the holes well enough to use the included metal screws. One of the nylon screws stripped and the holes needed adjusting for me to use the new metal screws. But it’s done and I’m pleased.
This door has a metal frame, sturdy and square. It spans a 2″ thick door, and of yours is a bit thicker, you can bridge the gap with white duct tape.
Three flaps do a great job of keeping heat from leaking on or out, and wind drafts. This is the most energy efficient door I’ve installed (out of six, over the years). Two outer doors are tough plastic that pets won’t destroy easily. One inner flap is softer and thicker, for insulation and to let the outer flaps move easily. The outer flaps protect the inner flap from damage. Very good design.
The inner and outer metal frames fit together perfectly. Ideal is still experimenting with end nuts for the long bolts that hold them together – no door maker has quite got that right yet, it seems. See pro tips below to make installation easier.
Pro tips:
– Use a circular saw (e.g. SkilSaw) to cut the opening. It’s easier to cut straight, square, and clean, than with a jigsaw – especially if you have a metal door. And you don’t have to drill those 1/2″ corner holes.
– It’s ok if you saw past your marked corners about half an inch – the frame will cover that up.
– Screw one frame into your door temporarily with self-tapping screws. Remove it, and screw in the other frame. Remove both.
– Use those screw holes as guides for the 1/4″ drill. Then your bolts should go through nice and straight to join the two frames (in a couple of minutes).
– Get all 4 bolts through one frame clear to the back side first. Then ease the back frame on.
– Start each end nut by hand before you do any serious tightening. Two people are really helpful at this point – one on each side of the door.
– Tighten all 4 bolts part way with screwdriver and wrench first. Then tighten them all down the rest of the way.
– Good job – you’re done! Seal the edges if you want.
The door is good it keeps the cold air out and I love that the door locks shut. Only with it would’ve came with inner border like my other doggy door I got from pet smart.
This is a great addition to my home.
It took a few days for them to get how to use it but we haven’t looked back since. We’re have 1 10yr old dog and two pups. I was worried the older dog wouldn’t take to it. The freedom it’s given is fantastic. I’m not running home to check on them and leave them out. No more accidents in the house either.
(The video attached was day one with the flap, I put them out and used treats as an incentive to coax them through it)
I highly recommend this flap as I live in Ireland and the weather is pretty miserable (cold and wet) I was worried we’d loose heat through it. To be honest I haven’t noticed a difference so the extreme weather version is definitely the way to go.
Husband found it very easy to install. He removed the door and placed it on a table. The template made it easy for him to outline and cut the hole. Everything went together fine and our dog (and us) enjoys the freedom to come and go. We installed it on the door leading to the garage so that we can close the garage door at night and not worry about some other ‘critter’ visiting….
Got my Pet Safe Dog Door on March 2nd. Was missing screws for the four bolts, so I went to hardware store and got what I need to complete the installation. The most difficult part was cutting the hole in an Aluminum Door. The two pieces that make up the inside and outside of the door fit nicely. Bolted the two halves of the door together and was finished. Total time to install, including cutting the hole in door, was about 2 hours. The template for cutting the hole in the door was spot on. Will leave a follow up after my dog gets comfortable with using her Dor Door. Also, I got the Aluminum Dog Door. Wanted something that will last. Will let y’all know.
Tengo una perra cruce pitbull y dos gatas y la compre con el tamao para la perra y ahira los 3 salen y entran felices. Evita bastante el aire y el frio, apenas noto que entre fro, pero si lo siento por uno de los laterales y supongo que es porque el chico que la instalo me la puso torcida!! (pocas cosas podia hacer mal al instalarla y dio con una…) y claro las lminas con imn supongo que no acaban de cerrar como deberian al eatar algo ladeado.
Buena compra. La mia es la de aluminio. La recomiendo.
Los 3 usuarios aprendieron rpido a usarla tomandolos y mostrandoles con un suave empujoncito que por ahi podian pasar.
Hemos instalado la puerta en un muro de la casa para que los gatos puedan salir al patio interior (les hemos hecho un pasadizo). Hemos taladrado a cada parte del tnel una de las salidas (esto no se puede hacer con todas las gateras). Incluye una puerta para cerrarla por si os vais de vacaciones y que no entren animales no deseados.
Viene con dos puertas que se cierran con imn a los extremos y con una trmica para que no entre el frio por la gatera.
Como se les hacia raro pasar al principio el chantaje con premios siempre me funciona, a los 5 minutos estaban pasando por ella tan tranquilamente, ellos felices y nosotros tambin.
Ho acquistato in primavera 2022 questa porta in versione alluminio taglia M Ed ho aspettato a recensire a febbraio 2023 per valutarne pro e contro. Ho due cani di 9kg e tre gatti “normali”, anzi una micia molto piccola e leggera, e questa porta viene utilizzata da tutti senza alcun problema. I cani spingono con la testa per aprirla, invece i gatti si fanno strada aprendo un angolo con una zampina (a meno che non arrivino di corsa, al che sfondano tipo ariete!! )
Per quanto riguarda la tenuta del freddo, io l’ho installata su una porta che d sul giardino e mi trovo molto bene, anche in caso di vento, a meno che non arrivi una tempesta tipo quelle che ultimamente si abbattono anche nelle nostre zone, in quel caso bisogna chiudere con la porta di sicurezza che non permette a nessuno di entrare od uscire. Un unico aspetto non perfetto che quando i gatti passano “delicatamente” la poca spinta non fa ritornare tutte e due le porte esterne perfettamente chiuse con la calamita, ma rimane leggermente socchiusa; questo non fa passare molta aria, ma rispetto a quando si chiude bene (che con i cani succede ogni volta) si sente la differenza: da chiusa tiene proprio bene!!
Mi ha risolto il problema di aprire e chiudere continuamente la porta a chi deve entrare ed uscire, ho risolto quasi del tutto il problema degli spifferi e soprattutto se mi assento da casa sono tranquilla che cani e gatti sono autonomi!!
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.
This was too deep for our door so it sits out a bit. Our fitter put a wooden frame around it to make it look better.
It’s taking a while for my dog to get used to it. We’re putting treats at it to encourage her!
It certainly will make life easier for us as she knows how to open doors but not how to close them!!
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.

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.
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.
Fits perfect had to get extra large so my husky would fit we started with a large and he couldn’t get through
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!

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.
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.

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

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 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.

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 as not suitable for all uPVC doors.

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.

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.

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.

All in all a fab product, relatively easy to fit and does exactly what it claims to do.

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

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.
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.
No problems so far and the wind howls past our door !!!
Has stopped the rain coming in with the wind .
Would definitely recommend.

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

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.
