Give Your Dog and Cat the Freedom to Come and Go with the PetSafe Aluminum Pet Door

Ame: es buena opción, pero es de plástico medio, no la recomiendo para mascotas que protestan por quedarse del otro lado (ya nos paso) :P

norah: should have purchased a double flap due to wind factor and location something to be mindful of when purchasing. So simply close flap when windy or not using for now.

kyle: Good day all,

This door is excellent. It comes with everything you need. It even puts in a few extra screws in case you, well are like me and break a few before getting the feel just right. That's right, I said break a few screws, not lose a few. The screws are plastic and snap VERY easily - pro-tip: Don't use a power drill on setting 2 with a +12 torque, a little handheld electric screwdriver is perfect. This is the only reason I gave it a 4 out of 5. If there could be a 0.5 option, it would be 4.5 stars.

The door is uber easy to install, even someone with absolutely no experience in any handy work would be able to do this and have it look like a pro. Looks great. Make sure you calk around the edges. If you do this, the door becomes relatively air tight and even in minus 20 *c weather, it keeps rather warm with minimal heat or cool loss.

Babs3031: This door replaced one we purchased 20 years ago. Of course the company has changed the sizing in that time but with the ease you could break off the inserts we were able to manipulate the door to fit and now no worries about unexpected little visitors.

Pat S: This is the 4th dog door we have purchased and so far this one looks like its up to the task. It was easy to install (we were replacing a door our 2 dogs broke running in and out several times one day) One screw did break while hubby was putting it in so maybe not a good idea to use an electric drill. It windy outside tonight and it is staying closed and not flapping in the wind. Our last door the extreme weather did. Because of our door we can't use the closing panel (the window gets in the way) We will again in the spring when a working dog door isn't as important. Our dogs are a mid-size husky cross and a large labx. Both manage the large dog door nicely.

Rob: This is a great doggie door. There has been a 1 piece glass door / doggie mounted into my glass slider door when I bought my house from the old owner. So I gave the door a shot my dogs being my first experience with a doggie door. My dogs got used to it fast and love it. What I really like about it is the plastic door hatch that slides in a door track with a locking safety pin. We close the hatch at night and when we’re not home for safety reasons to keep other animals from coming in our house when we are not around. It’s safe and secure and give you the piece of mind. Well fast forward a couple years of use and we have pulled out our glass slider door and replaced with custom French doors. So I liked the Petsafe Doggie door I’ve had wanted to buy a new one to install into my new French doors. The draw back with the sliding track cover door that I’ve had and wanted to purchase was it only comes with a single weather hatch that does let a little cold air into the house during the winter months. So I looked for the dual hatch style door for more energy efficient on my new French doors. This company does make dual hatch doors but they all come with a plastic snap on style...

Christopher AllenChristopher Allen: I had a large PetSafe single flap door installed at my old house into an unconditioned space. Never worried too much how it sealed. I installed one in my new house where it does go into a conditioned space, and noticed many times the flap did not reconnect with the bottom magnet, and a small breeze kept it open.
I started looking at dual flap models to stop the draft, but all were a different size. Since I actually had the door specifically made with a cutout for this exact door, I did not want to start cutting to fit another model.
MY SOLUTION - I bought a second PetSafe door. I removed the outside trim ring of the existing unit (the one without the flap), and installed the flap half of the new door on the outside. It has been working perfectly!!
Since the aluminum frame is made with 4 pieces of extruded aluminum, held together by 4 corner brackets crimped in place, there is some flex in the corners of the frame. With the normal single flap installation, the outside trim fits inside the interior trim where they cover the wood of the door. My dual flap install, using the flex in the way the frame is held together, allowed the second flap frame to flex open a bit and slide...

JZS: We've been looking for a replacement flap for our old dog door which is placed in a wall not a door. Since we have been unable to find the correct size after five years, we gave up and resigned ourselves to getting a new door. I chose this door because it was closest in size to our existing door- any smaller and our largest dog wouldn't fit and we were limited in how large it could be due to wiring in the wall.

This door is designed to be placed in a door, not wall, but since we already had the wall framed for a dog door this worked just fine with some slight adjustments to the framing. The nicest thing about this door is that the flap creates a good seal and I can't feel any air coming in.

Since this is designed to go into a door, it comes with very long, white, nylon screws that match the frame and can be snapped off to the appropriate length then screwed into the accompanying screw sleeves. Since we were attaching to framing we used our own metal screws. This means we have visible screws around the frame as well as where the flap attaches. Fortunately we had many white screw caps around and were able to use those to make the screws "disappear". The caps don't...
