Was a bit unsure what size to order, I have a Boxer dog and she's very lively, clumsy and daft as armpits but was worried if a bought a large flap it might present as security risk. After a bit of tempting (standing outside with a chicken leg) she eventually came thru it, I immediately went indoors (with chicken leg) but she was reluctant to come back in. After studying it for a few mins I realized that the outside step was a few inches lower than the kitchen floor so I placed a paving slab on the doorstep and bingo she came in straight away. She now uses it with ease and it makes me smile watching her go in and out. She's not a large boxer but has no trouble with the size, as I say I think the height is probably the most important factor. FITTING: I fitted it in to an fairly old upvc door and actually overlapped a catflap fitted by previous house owner. Warning, old upvc is very brittle so if you are jigsawing it out make sure you use the finest toothed blade you have and set it on a slow speed, I had a couple of bits breakout but fortunately the wide frame has covered them ok. IMPORTANT you get 4 long plastic bolts to hold the 2 halves together, use a manual screwdriver (I used my small power driver and even being careful snapped one bolt, Petsafe bless them posted me a replacement foc) and DONT do them up tight, just barely finger tight will do as they expand & contract with temp and I have had one break after 2 weeks. There are no sealing gaskets round the frame but as it was a lovely snug fit I thought ok no problem, wrong, as soon as we had some heavy rain it leaked water on to kitchen floor. Took it back off and ran a bead of silicone around all areas and refitted and perfect now. Don't make my mistake, put a decent bead around it when you first install then you'll have no problem and wont have to faff around with the plastic bolts. QUALITY: seems well made and magnetic strip keeps it closed in all but the strongest winds and it comes with a very nice slide on cover that locks in to place if you want to shut it off at night or if weathers really ghastly. I believe the soft plastic flap is replaceable if it ever wears out so all in all I would thoroughly recommend this product. **UPDATE** 30/11/2015: Am still loving this flap but as I live on an Island now the strong winds have started I have found that the flap will blow open and let an unwelcome draught in to the house. I contacted PetSafe (0800 046 14 14) for advice and their friendly & helpful customer service team suggested that I should fit an additional plastic flap (the same as the original one, undo the four silver screws at the top of the flap and slip in) as this will make it a bit heavier and should help. Ordered it from them over the phone for Β£11 very straightforward. Review: Well worth the money! - These doggy/cat doors are fantastic and so much better then the plastic ones that break after a while of your pet running in and out of them. Made from strong metal with a flexible rubber type flap door. It nice and quiet with strong magnets. We have two sizes the medium on the white door and a small on the brown door. One is used for a cupboard we use as there cat litter box room and the other on our bedroom door so our sphynx cats can come and go as they please but with the shutter that comes with it we can shut them out if needs be. Had them for a few months now and are lasting brilliantly! I also love that you can get replacement flaps for them without having to buy a whole new unit. Yes they aren't the cheapest but 1,000% worth it! Easy to install with the instructions and so handy to have a paper template to follow when cutting that you just tape to the door so it doesn't move. I guess the only negative I would give this door is that the screws are plastic. We snapped one when putting in but thankfully the pack came with a spare! ## Features - Warning:Not suitable for children under 3 years.

Any suggestions?** A: hibest way to check is get some cardboard and cut the following sized holes, and try get your dog to go throughsmall - 21cm high x 12cm widemedium - 31cm high x 20.5cm widekind regardsmike **Q: Is it noisy? My current one clatters every time the dogs come though! :)** A: Every time my dog passes through it claps. It’s all about the magnetic at the bottom. Doesn’t boder me! **Q: Will this door fit into a standard aluminum door - it looks the the bottom (where the flap would go) is sheet aluminum.** A: Both frames are aluminum, cut a hole in the door and the one pictured goes on the inside of the door and a similar one with no flap goes on the outside, they slot together. The dark ridge at the bottom of the flap is a metallic strip to keep the flap down. Might want to talk to whoever is going to cut up your door before making a decision. I had mine installed into the wall of the house as my back door is glass and couldn't be used. Best thing I ever got for the dog. **Q: Will it fit a double glazed door?** A: It will fit in a solid double glazed panel but obviously not a glass panel.Note- be sure to allow enough clearance to slide the door out of the top.

If you remember to measure much more often than you commit to cutting, then re-check, you will be fine. The Paper template deserves a re-design. The metal frame creates an overlap which works well. I love the flexible (and quiet) door design. The dogs did not hesitate to use it. A winner which does not leave me feeling cheated over the price. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/52857595-petsafe-aluminium-pet-door-durable-frame-weather-resistant-seal-easy](https://www.desertcart.us/products/52857595-petsafe-aluminium-pet-door-durable-frame-weather-resistant-seal-easy) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
