PetSafe Extreme Weerbestendig Energiezuinig Aluminium Huisdierluik voor Katten en Honden, Geïsoleerd Flapsysteem – Medium (M)

USE: Got this product for my 7 cats. This was a good investment, all the cats make use of this tiny door. After helping my cats just a few times they got the hang of it. INSTALLATION: It was easy to fit into the door, you do need a drill and a Jigsaw. QUALITY: Got this door 2 months ago and it works like a charm. The material looks and feels solid and durable. No draft because of the extra isolation.

HiI still have cold wind blowing sometimes from the side(s), or the top, or the bottom.How can I improve the isolation?

We had replaced our exterior back door and had the door company install this dog door so can't comment on the installation process but the door itself is great quality and works very well. This is the first time our dog has had a dog door and it's been a huge improvement to her quality of life. She uses it all day every day and has taken control of her outside time. It's one of the best things we've purchased. I did a lot of research before buying this door and I like that it's metal framed, insulated, and locks easily and tight. We've had it for about 4 months now and no issues at all. Every 6 weeks or so I need to adjust the flap screws to bring the door flap up a few millimeters but I expected that and it's really simple to do. The insulation layer is effective and doesn't impede the door at all. We get a bit more dirty paw prints on the floor when it's raining outside but that's just the compromise with having a dog door. Installed in winter at approx -20C and no drafts, just had a few days of +30C and no heat coming in either so really pleased overall.

My old flap had literally disintegrated. I have feral cats that come into my garage at night and this flap provides more insulation than the previous one I had.

Firstly I want to address a couple of the negatives..The one about it not clearly stating the door thickness and having to buy the extension adapter...it very clearly states "Easily fits into panelled, wood, PVC and metal doors 3.75-5cm"That person clearly hadn't bothered to read the full description.Another one complaining about being able to see light down the sides...that is where the brush bars meet the rubber flaps, they help keep the draft out...if you want double glazing standard, then teach your dog how to use a door handle...they've clearly never had a proper draft rattler pet door that blows the Beast From the East through your door and up your leg in the sitting room...seriously, I soooo appreciate how draft proof this one is!The one about "the mount for the 2 of the flaps blocks the frames from clicking together"...well, firstly they don't block anything, and secondly they don't "click" together, one is very slightly bigger than they other so they very smoothly slide in to each other giving a nice smooth surround to the whole thing, makes it much easier to clean too with muddy dogs.I fitted this very easily on my own in about 30-40 minutes, it only took that long as I struggle with fiddly screws.The instruction are very clear and easy to follow.I absolutely love the padded middle flap, that really does make a difference and helps to keep the rubber flaps apart snd connecting to their own magnets...oh yes, this has 2 sets of magnets, unlike the conventional 1 middle one, this is a game changer as once the two flaps lock in, there is minimal...and I really do mean absolute minimal, draft coming through.I've had years of many different pet flaps, currently 7 furry beasts, and this is by far the best one.I think I got it on a good deal, I paid £47.62 for the medium flap and £10.91 for the medium adapter as my door panel is a standard 28mm, you DO need that extra adapter as you can't fudge it to fit if your panel is not thick enough...it has to be between 3.75-5cm to not need the adapter.We are currently at -4 here is freezing cold Chester, UK and I can barely feel anything from the flap, in fact I can't feel any draft, just a little colder due to the aluminium frame...really can't ask.for more than that.So all in all, I definitely recommend this, so much so I went back and bought another ready to put in the extension.

This is a well made sturdy door flap that works well.It was not that easy to fit because of our door style, we had to pad out around the cut out so that the flap came out enough to allow the door flap shutter to slide in from the top and secure at night.The white plastic screws in the pack seemed flimsy but in use we realised they are slightly flexible which meant it was a lot easier to line up and secure. There were also metal screws for fitting the outer panel, I do see why the other screws are plastic and the door is very secure with them.Dog loves it and is in and out all day long and we dont have to be constantly getting up and down letting him out.Im glad we went for the metal version and the thermal flap, our dog does like to dash though the flap taking his toys with him occasionally which could have been an issue for a plastic flap.We chose not to take the door off to fit which made it more difficult it was much easier with two people helping to line things up.There are adjustment screws to allow the movement of the individual flaps on both sides to make sure it closes well, ours is closing fairly well but we will probably adjust slightly to make it perfect, meantime it does keep out any drafts and no colder than it was in the room. Thumbs up from us :)

Despite concerns the multiple layers might be challenging for an older, more 'fragile' and less assertive dogs, the dog found it as easy or easy to operate than the old rigid, single acrylic door. Good result!
