PetSafe Plastic Pet Door - Easy Install for Wood, PVC Metal & Paneled Doors - Rust-Free Plastic Frame - Flap Dimensions 5 1/4" W x 8 1/8" H - for Small Pets Weighing Up to 15 Lb

After installing this doggie door for my 85-pound Labrador, I'm impressed with both the durability and functionality. The plastic construction makes it significantly lighter than metal alternatives, which made the installation process much more manageable. Despite being plastic, it feels sturdy and has withstood months of frequent use without showing signs of wear. Installation was straightforward, though I'd recommend having a second person help hold it in place while marking and cutting. The included template was accurate, and the mounting hardware is good quality. The paintable surface is a nice touch - I was able to match it perfectly to my door color. The weather stripping creates a good seal, and I haven't noticed any drafts even during windy weather. The flap itself moves smoothly and has just the right amount of resistance. My dog learned to use it within a day, and the transparent flap helped him feel more confident about going through it. The closing panel is secure when locked in place, perfect for nighttime or when we're away. The flap corners are well-reinforced, which is crucial for preventing tears from repeated use. One tip: take time to install it at the right height for your pet. I measured my dog's chest height as recommended, and it's been perfect. While it's marketed for pets up to 100 pounds, the opening is generous enough that I can see it working well for even larger dogs. The value for money here is excellent considering the quality of materials and thoughtful design features.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This pet door does its job quite well! Reasonably easy to install and the cats (and the dog, unfortunately) learned to use it with no problems. It keeps the cold out pretty well. The soft (ish) door males me feel more secure for the kitties tails not being caught as possible in a rigid door.

The door itself is good, just like an older PetSafe door I have on another door. Installation was as designed with easy enough instructions to follow. The cover to keep the pets out is a whole other discussion. The older door, and every other doggie door I've ever used was of the simple to use design of a door sliding in from the top in two tracks. That's always worked easily, simply, and effectively. This new design involves tabs where you push the door over the frame and snap the three tabs into slots on the sides and bottom of the frame. That part is easy enough. The fun comes in trying to take the door off. It takes some actual finger strength to pull the tabs out enough to release them, plus you have to bend down fairly far to get to them, then you push down to release the bottom tab. I'm still a pretty fit old guy, so I don't have a giant problem doing it, but my wife does. The other problem I see coming is that those tabs are going to break off when the plastic gets a little brittle after a couple of years. Then the door won't be able to be secured at all. I'm not sure why they changed the design, but it's not a change for the better.

I looked at a lot of cat doors before purchasing this one. I didn’t like the idea of a solid plastic door so I was excited to find this one that was flexible and I didn’t have to worry about his paws getting stuck. It magnets shut after he uses it and was fairly easy to install! We also have the larger one for our dog which is just as quality. Definitely the brand to choose.

This pet door is perfect. This is my second time buying it the first one lasted a very long time. My husky got out of his cage and tried to fit through the doggie door and ripped the old one out of the wall… so I had to re-purchase

We have 7 dogs and they range from 20 pounds to around 110 pounds. They all come through the door just fine. Even the 110 pounder has lots of extra room to fit through. I have installed many doggy doors throughout my house and in both of my outside doors. This certain doggy door is great for an inside door. For outside doors, I use weatherproof doggy doors. The flaps are heavier and most normal winds will not blow them open. To install the door, I did the following: Remove the door from the door frame and lay it on saw horses or whatever you have to work on. It needs to be at least a foot off the ground to complete the install. Mine was about 3’ off the ground. This keeps you from having to bend over so far to work on it 1. I measured the height of my largest dog standing at her shoulders, then added 2” to give a little extra clearance. I took a pencil and made a light straight line across the door at that point. 2. Next, I measured the width of the door and marked the center from the top line down to the bottom of the door. 3. Next, I laid out the stencil, that comes with doggy door, and lined the center arrows up with the center line on the door and the top of the stencil with the top line I made going across the door. I held the stencil in place with some masking tape. 4 little pieces will do the trick. 4. Next, I traced around the stencil with a black sharpie. This makes it easier to see where to cut the door out. Don’t worry about the black lines, what’s left of them will be hid by the frame of the doggy door. Remove the stencil when done. 5. Next, I used a 1/2” drill bit and drilled a hole inside each of the corners of my lines, getting as close to the corner lines as I could. 6. Next, I used a jigsaw and cut out the hole for the door. Stay on the lines as best as you can and make sure the foot of the jigsaw is flat so your cut will be straight through to the other side. When I got both sides and the bottom cut, I used a screwdriver to hold the bottom of the piece I was cutting out so it didn’t fall when I cut the top. If it falls before the cut is finished, it could break off a piece of the main door. That will make it look bad with a chunk missing out of the main door when you are finished. 7. Next, measure the thickness of the main door and write it down. Add 7/8” to that measurement. My door thickness was 1 3/8”. I added 7/8” to that and got 2 1/4”. That is how wide I cut the plastic spacer pieces that went between the frames of the doggy door. Try to be as accurate as possible with this. I used a utility knife to cut the spacers. Take your time so you can make straight cuts. Make several cuts on the same line, then fold it over and it will break apart on the cut line. 8. Slide the plastic pieces into the slots of the front frame section. Push them in tight. Set the frame in the cutout section of the main door. Then, install the back frame section by lining up the plastic spacer pieces with the frame slots and hold them tightly together. My wife helped me with this part by holding the frames together as I installed the plastic screws and nuts in the frames. I put the top center one in first, followed by the bottom center one. Slightly tighten these 2 but not too tight, you may have to adjust the frame position. After that, she didn’t have to hold it any more. I installed the rest of the screws and nuts. After making sure I had the frame squarely adjusted, I tightened the screws and nuts. 9. With a pair of wire cutters, cut off the excess of the plastic screws. Next, I used a Dremel with a cutoff wheel to grind the rest of the screw down flush so the dogs wouldn’t scratch themselves on them. 10. Clean the sawdust off the door and install it back on the door frame that you removed it from.

このサイズはなかなかないので助かりました

Bem construída, leve e fácil de instalar. O mais difícil é fazer a abertura na porta. Vale cada centavo.

Easy to install with the write tools. Medium - Perfect for a Spoodle dog . Magnetic flap gets a dirty therefore loses some grip at times. Glad to know replacement flaps are available in future. Recommended product and brand. AAA+
