Puppy Proof

On: 2008-11-11

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 wed 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. Weve yet to go through a winter with it, but metal and plexiglass should easily survive the cold. It is loud, as Ive 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.....

heavy duty dog door

great product easy to install. My dog hates this door. It is heavier than most dog doors. The first time she used it it slammed shut and scared her to the point that she thinks is possessed. She will only walk through it if I hold it open. Thus negating the reson for the door. If you buy this be sure you pot foam tape or something around the edges to eliminate The loud nose it makes. unless your dog is not a wimp like mine- Sue

Nice heavy duty Dog Door - As loud as a gun going off

On: 2007-12-06

I had a rubber dog door framed and installed in the wall of my bed room,
and after a few years it started to fall apart and water rotted the
wood around the dog door, I wanted something heavy duty that would last,
and thats what I got, the outer frame is metal, the inner door is thick
Plexiglass, the door works well, and is well made, there is one
problem, and it may not be a problem for you, its loud, not just loud,
but really really loud, hurt your ears loud, when the door shuts in the
middle of the night, when your asleep, it sounds like a gun shot, and
its a kinda like crack of the whip sound, I was able to quiet it down
a little by using strips of self adhesive weatherstripping, the weather
striping is about 1 centimeter thick,

I would not recommend this for a bedroom, or any ware a sudden loud
sound will bother you, other than that, its a great product
