| Heavy Duty Dog Door | Chew Proof, Weather Tight, Energy Efficient | Metal Dog Door | Dog Size 20-120 Lbs | 14”x 20” Frame

I used to buy the pet doors locally and all they carried were the flexible plastic ones. These would work fine, but all of them cracked and fell apart when we'd get our annual northern states week in January where the temperature drops below -30F. Like putting a rubber band in liquid nitrogen. The last straw was adopting a new puppy who managed to destroy 2 more doors with chewing.This door is very rugged and chew-proof. Easy to install. We've yet to go through a winter with it, but metal and plexiglass should easily survive the cold. It is loud, as I've seen in other reviews, but we have a kennel attached to the barn, so noise is not an issue. If we did have a kennel attached to the house, my guess is some foam insulation would quiet it down just fine.So far, so good.....

Ok so this door is metal and very stout. It is 1/4 metal. The clear door opens in one direction and then entire metal housing and clear door open the other direction. I installed my on the outside of the house and trimmed up the inside. It is 10 degrees at night here and now my laundry room stays warm. I have not even added any weather stripping. I work nights and the noise hasn’t bothered me at all.Pros-two screw installationVery largeVery sturdyLarge heavy duty springsSeals well without weatherstrippingFits my large saint bernardConsLoud if you have it in you house and not in a laundry roomOverall save yourself some money buying this instead of the plastic dog doors that fall apart.

You can build this Door yourself at less than half the cost. The seller is also selling this for $60 more then the actual dealer is selling this. It looks professionally done in the picture but it is poorly made by most likely a amateur at cutting aluminum. I repeat this is no where near professionally made and a decent diyer can build this with a little help from a welding buddy. You could also probably go to a shop and get someone to weld it for you for a few bucks. The item is really sturdy. That is why it got one star. Other then that this would be a Zero.

I bought this door because my big ol' boxer is a sis and he will not play outside. I have a door that had previously been fitted with a plastic pet door, like those available in pet stores. Mr. Wimp chewed and punched until he totally destroyed it. So began my search for an indestructable door for when I need him to be outside.Other reviewers complain about the noise this door makes, and they are correct: it is loud. It also has some pretty stout springs that may be difficult to navigate if your dog is slow, old, timid, or puny. My dog was frightened out of his wits the first couple of times I coaxed him through and is still pretty careful with it on day two.My beef with this door is that I could not tell by the pictures what I was actually getting. The seller was very friendly on the phone, but they did not know what it looked like either, as they don't stock the door so they never get to see it. That deficiency is what prompted me to write a review. What follows is what I wish I had known up front.See the shiny aluminum framework in the seller's picture? (The clear area in the middle is a heavy plexiglass panel that swings the other way.)When you buy this door, you are ONLY getting a flap to screw on over the hole you cut in your door or wall or whatever. That's it. No trim of any kind for the hole. This is fine if you are using it for a gun dog kennel, but on the house where looks matter, plan to spend extra time and money trimming out your opening. The instructions that accompanied this were by no means exhaustive, so don't buy this if you aren't pretty sure you can handle what you're getting yourself into.This door will NOT be weatherproof. There is a gap above the plexiglass flap that is substantial enough to let in quite a draft and maybe water, depending on where you put the door. I put mine on an exterior mudroom door protected by a covered patio, so it doesn't matter for me, but other buyers might want to know that!The door itself is very heavily constructed, but only 2 little wood screws actually attach the flap to your door. I drilled holes all the way through the door and used nuts and bolts to make the attachment instead. (You will have to make allowances for counter sinking the heads if you buy the closing panel.)All in all, this door is super sturdy and it will serve the purpose for which I purchased it for years to come. If you take the time to dress it up when you install it, it won't look too bad, either. Not attractive, just not too bad.

This is the best dog door I have ever bought,I have 5 beagles, the Moma and 4 pups, they have destroyed 3 dog doors before this one, have had this one for 7 months , still in great shape like new, great product 👍👍👍

This door is really heavy duty, and yes.....chew proof. After having bought several replacement flaps for our other door we decided to try this door out. It is extremely weather tight compared to our old door, no more drafty laundry room! It took a bit to train both our dogs and cat to use it, but they are now with no problem. Like other reviewers have said.....it is LOUD when it shuts, but I'm willing to make that sacrifice to not have a chewed up plastic flap that lets all the cold air inside. When my husband installed this on our back exterior door, he framed it with white moulding on both sides of the door and it looks great. I'd recommend the door to anyone wanting one that is going to not be destroyed by a dog.....as long as you don't mind the loud bang it makes.

So far, so good! Luke may have met his match! He completely destroyed 1 dog door - frame and flaps and the slide in closing panel (see picture). We purchased and install a complete new one which he completely destroyed again - I wasn't about to purchase the $30 flaps again, so we covered with metal to no avail. (See picture)I plan to update after a week or so. It does slam loudly, but it's certainly better than having a gaping hole in our house. We plan to try some padding to help with the noise.UPDATE: Oh Luke! We found the door completely torn off the house and the hinge bent. I'm hoping we will be able to straighten and reinstall.UPDATE#2: Happy to report that the door is now reinstalled and working well.
