  Staywell Plastic Dog Door, Medium Average Rating: 2.0 Total Reviews: 1 More Information New design is NOT durable.  On: 2007-04-24It works ok as a pet door. If you had a very slow feeble dog it might last longer. Any wind over ~10mph will hold the door open as the magnetic latch will not reliably catch after a pet goes through. I have purchased three, the last one of these doors just gave up, after about 10 months use by our four dogs. The first one that we purchased was several (about 7 years) ago. It lasted nearly five years with continuous heavy use by three very active terriers. The hinge pivots finally wore out and let the door jam against the frame. I noticed that the replacement (same staywell model) was much lighter and of different design. The new design lasts about 6 to 10 months. If this was a $15 product, this would be acceptable, at $40 to $50 it is not. Find different manufacturer. |
