PetSafe Plastic Pet Door, Large

Very happy with this pet door overall. It was easy to install, the instructions were simple to follow, and everything fit together well. The quality feels solid and durable, especially for the price. After installation, it worked exactly as expected and my pet adjusted to it quickly. I also like that it looks clean and blends in nicely with the door. Definitely recommend if you want an affordable and straightforward pet door that does the job well.

Great product - replaced previous version and was extremely simple. Dogs like it much better than our previous tri-fold version (they actually use the 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.

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.

Works as it should we should have got larger size for shepherd but door hinge limited

Dang! I'm at a complete loss for what to do. The medium size is too big, and the Small size is too small. I have another brand installed, 'Ideal' is the brand I believe, that's just right. Dilemma (see pictures)

Haven't installed it yet, but if looks fine.

We originally had a smaller door, but with my dog aging, I needed something that didn't make it look like she's squeezing through a birth canal, so upgraded to a next size, and good Lord, it's double the size of the medium. Whoever thought plastic screws was a good idea, needs to be fired. What was suppose to be a quick install turned into 2 hours with a trip to local hardware store for real screws. And the trip wasn't fun, had to hit up 3 hardware places because Lowe's didn't have the right size screws. if it wasn't for the fact that we already have the hole in our door, I would have returned the product for something else, something with better strength to keep out the Florida heat. The flap doesn't close all the way and lets in a lot of Florida heat and it's already 102°. Making my AC work harder. For it being the top brand, I regret my decision of get pet safe. I should have gone with an off brand . So posting the review in hopes to save some other person from making the same mistake I did

このサイズはなかなかないので助かりました

terrible fitment, energy waste.

Great product, exactly ad advertised and easy to install

Waardeloos, je betaald je scheel voor een wardeloos ondoordacht stuk plastic met een waarde van 8 euro, als je dan toch goedkope troep wilt kun je beter je slag op Temu slaan, nooit meer.

Ya tenía una anteriormente y buscamos una igual para mis gatos. Es perfecta y muy práctica de poner. Nos gusto mucho si diseño y poco a poco aprenden a usarlo tanto como perros y gatos sin problema
