I have not looked closely at many other pet doors, but this one certainly does the job for my application (basement entrance). The install was easy, but you do have to be careful with the plastic screws as others have mentioned. I think that they are included as a way to protect the plastic frame; it would be too easy to over tighten a metal fastener and crack the frame. The door flap does swing open a bit on windy nights, so you may consider the “Extreme” model if you live in the cold and have the door in the main part of the house. The “large” size works well for our 88 lb boxer mutt.
I purchased this door for my two mixed breed dogs, each around 70 pounds, and a mild climate. The door was very easy to install; however, the plastic is cheap and not very sturdy. It also does not have a good seal and in the winter, cold air comes streaming in around the sides of the plastic. In a year’s time, I am also on my third replacement flap (they rip across the top) – these aren’t cheap and I’ve already spent more on replacement flaps than the actual door. The closing panel is also very flimsy plastic and doesn’t lock. Anyone can reach through the flap from the outside and push up the panel to get through the door. I will be upgrading to a more sturdy, more secure and higher quality dog door soon.
This is a great doggie door. The main thing when installing is drilling the holes correctly. so measure, remeasure and then put them in straight. The rest is easy.
Any time a product doesn’t match it’s description, I will give it one star. When shopping online that is all we have to go on so it needs to be accurate. First it says that the “closing panel” can be attached to either side of the door, but then it goes on to say “2 flexible transparent panels” and “Panels are soft”. This leaves an overall impression that this is actually a two panel door, when it really has only a single panel.
If this had been clear I would have bought a more expensive 2-panel model
The door arrived on time and it perfect condition. I know it costs me a little, but Prime membership has it’s benefits. I knew I would have a bit of a difficult installation due to it being a non-standard window installation, which required cutting a plywood panel for the window to mount the door in. Don’t try to outthink the installation and follow the template when cutting the opening. It fits as advertised. The plastic screws, yes plastic, go inside the opening. There is no need to drill holes for them. Our dog is happily running in and out the door, all hours of the day and night.
