PetSafe Original 2 Way Pet Door - Manual Lock, Durable Frame, Multiple Colours - Large, White

Strong good quality item easy to install

Replaced with the same as had this originally approx 10 years ago, but the dogs have destroyed it now and the door broke and fell off.Happy to have been able to replace like for like

The media could not be loaded. Good dog flap, with only one area for improvement, and that's in the strength of the outside flap.The flap works by having the middle translucent panel allowed to swing both ways, whilst the outer flap can only swing from inside to outside. This means it seals nicely when shut. However, this outside part (the white square part) is quite thin.We have some enthusiastic large (35kgs+) dogs, and I'm now on my third flap in 18 months as the outer part of the flap keeps snapping if the dogs hurry through too fast too many times. It's a shame, because the flap itself is good.Fitting wise, a half-competent DIY'er should be able to fit this in an hour or so - I've done this several times now so it's quite straightforward. You'll need to trim down the long screws provided so factor that in when you're preparing to install it - I used a dremmel with a cut-off wheel.Plan your cut as you can't add material back! The best advice I can give you is to buy a replacement panel for the bottom of the door - I think I got one online for around £25. Our bottom door panel was patterned (IE, not perfectly flat) and this meant installing the flap would be difficult to seal to the surface due to the raised pattern. Buying a flat plain panel solves this issue, and it means I can just re-install the original panel should I need to return to standard. Also, if your flap does break, you can just swap the panel back to the standard one until you get a replacement.Overall, I'm very happy. It would just be nice if they lasted a little longer - but part of that is down to my dogs charging in through the flap, so I can't completely blame PetSafe!I hope that's helped - please see the video of it in action!

I’m really happy with this product.I actually bought this as we already had a dog flap of the same make installed in our front door, which I had put in by a professional who cut the panel and fitted it etc (I’m not one for attempting that) so this was a replacement purely because the old one was brown and I preferred white!Product came on the delivery date, intact and packaged just fine inside.Installation was so easy (hardly rocket science to take one flap off and fit another) but all the equipment was present as stated, and all holes accurate (sounds daft, but I’ve had those sorts of issues with other things before!). I did however, use the old screws from the flap I took off, as the new ones are quite long.. but if you’ve got the equipment to hack them down to size then happy days.I like it, our Labrador hasn’t noticed, but it looks tidy.I’d happily buy one again in the future should I need to.Only small criticism from me is that it would be nice to have had a panel or something on the inside to stop the screws from showing and the inside of the door itself.I feel for the guys and girls who have had a bad experience with this, but I’ve got no complaints.Good work!

As expected thank you 🙏

Very good value for money. The same one from Pets at home was nearly £30 more! Bought to replace a smaller one, this one is perfect for my Staffie and Collie. Very easy to fit, good quality too. Delivery was quick, I'm very happy with my purchase.

Note: We purchased the large dog door designed for German Shepherds Golden retrievers, Dobermans and Rotwiellers etc...The flap is very noisy and is made of very flimsy brittle plastic which snaps within a few weeks - We have two cocker spaniels who are just over a year old - I purchased one of these and fitted it fine.The noise drove us mad - then within about 3 weeks the hinge lugs on the central flap had snapped so I had no choice but to order a replacement door (I did look around for something else but of course, the hole sizes are all difference - Once you have cut a hole in your door....)After placing the order I also came across a soft rubberised flap that you can buy separately, so I ordered that as well. The rubberised flap was a bit better (less noisy) - And I was able to fit it to the existing door without dismantling dog door. However, for the same reason, because it is is flexible, it kept popping out as the dogs ran through it - It needs something to make it rigid at the top edge once you have fit it in place.Then a couple of weeks later, the outer flap, which is effectively a 3 sided frame for the inner flap snapped at the bottom corner - I fixed it with metal corner brackets and small bolts. then a few while later the other corner went - this time the break was too severe for me to fix so we now have a hole in our door.So we slid the rigid plastic security plate (I use the term loosely) in to stop the worst of the elements getting into our kitchen until I could fit the replacement noisy dog door (which will break in the same way!) - Then one of the dogs forgot and decided to come in via the dog door - The security plate worked just like a dog flap, just lest flexibly and with an explosion of plastic.Please Note what I said at the top - We have 2 small cocker spaniels with a dog door designed for Rottweillers
