Pros: Great weather seal. Easy Install. Less Cleaning. Cons: One dog hesitates going through the double door. I purchased this dog door when I was fixing up my house. It was highly recommended by a friend who was a contractor. Previously, I had modified a Petsafe in-door dog door to go through the wall and was having problems with bees and outside air. This unit did not need any modifications to go through the wall. I did not need to trim the wall hole on the outside or inside. It went in like a dream. The new door has an inside and an outside seal. I do not have air loss when the door is closed. The plastic doors do not show all the dog drool and slobber like the old door. The dog door also has an internal lock. I didn’t think that this was very useful, until I was reading the paper about kids breaking into to homes through dog doors. I have since used the lock feature. Our golden retriever uses it without any hesitation. I am not even sure that he can tell the difference. My whippet is a little more cautious when using the new door. It is really two doors in one unit. She does not mind the first door, but is bugged by the second one. But, she still uses the door. Next on the dog upgrade list is a covering over the kennel.
This is well made and helpful that you don’t have to “box in” the wall. My dog found it to difficult to push throught the 2 flaps, so I took off the outside flap. I live in Buffalo, and it still seals nicely and keeps out cold and wind. A very small dog will have trouble pushing through both doors, but I still recommend it for it’s versatility and quality of manufacture.
Purchased medium unit for four bichons to use. Door is very weatherproof, seals well. We are using in Kansas, very windy, have not noticed significant drafting from door despite being in an insulated three car garage. Installation works well, consists of two halves which slide together in the middle. Fit well in 2×4 stud insulated wall. My only concern with this unit is that the two pieces (the exterior and interior) slide together in the middle, which leaves a non-sealed joint. Potentially, water or dirt could get into this joint and leak into the wall cavity. I pumped my joint full of silicone sealant to try to minimize or prevent this, but something you will want to consider particularly in a wet climate.
