PetSafe Extreme Weather Aluminum XL Dog Door for Exterior Doors - Most Energy Efficient Pet Door - 3 Flaps for Insulation - for Large Dogs

Quality dog door, insulation is nice to have keeps cool air in on hot days. Holds up to wind pretty well, flaps have been staying closed on windy days with winds up to 20 to 30 mph. My cats also have no problem using it. Comes with a template for the cut out.

Works as advertised. And I can’t say enough about the customer service! All these things say “12 month warranty” and you don’t expect them to actually be helpful. Around month 11 the screwed started falling out of the top. There is a small price in the middle that broke. Easy eight to fix. Called customer service, super helpful and without hesitation sent me out the new parts to fix it free of charge. It’s back to new shape. Was really impressed with the company and the product. Also full disclosure we have a big dog and that door was taking some abuse lol. Door is strong!

This version of the pet door is made really well and keeps the cold out much better with three flaps. The only issue I had was that the door I previously had with one flap (same brand) was larger. You would think there would be continuity within the brand, but I got it anyway because of it's quality and low price compared to other brands. I ended up cutting a three-foot wooden measuring stick into pieces to fill the gaps and nailed them in, which worked perfectly. Another thing to think about is that the cover for this dog door slides up and down on a track (which I like better) instead of the one flap cover that you push on and pull off. If I wanted to keep my dogs outside for any reason they could just push through the door cover. The only caveat about the three flap cover though is that if you have blinds that are set inside a door window (and have a frame) the dog door cover will hit the frame if you don't ease it off every time.

We have the Extreme Weather XL dog door for our 85 lb Boxer and 140 lb Cane Corso. I would give it 5 stars for the first 6 months, 4 stars for the next 6 months, and 3 stars after the 1-year mark. I was impressed with the quality and fit when I received the door, the problem is it didn't hold up for long. "Extreme Weather" is misleading, at best I would say it's a 3-flap version. Due to the size of an XL large door, nothing keeps the weather out, especially on windy days. I hoped for a little more considering it's called "Extreme Weather" and was a more expensive. I'm having to replace the flaps more often, the 6-screw design helps avoid tearing where the screw holds the flap. After a year the bottom edges of the flaps began tearing evenly about two inches from the bottom (same on both flaps, inside and outside, and the left and right side). They all tore the same, it's apparent it needs someone to revisit the design and material. Other issues with the material are shrinkage and bowing of the outside flaps. The center flap, insulating flap, comes apart along both seams. The center flap is basically a piece of thin foam sandwiched between two heat sealed pieces of plastic. It doesn't appear they "designed" an XL large, weather resistant door, for large breed dogs. They just made a larger dog door based on their other models. I don't think consideration was given to the size of the dogs hitting that flap dozens of times per day, or the force of the wind on the larger door. The material looks identical to the smaller door we had and doesn't hold up to large dogs. The first time I used the large plastic cover to block it on a windy day I didn't notice the Cane Corso was still outside. Not a problem, she hit it at full puppy speed knocking the cover clear across the room, popping several of the screws out of the frame. She was very excited with her accomplishment. I can't imagine a home without a dog door. They use it night and day, sometimes just to stick their head out to check the weather. We had a large dog door until our new pup had trouble squeezing through. The large door worked very well. I saved it for the future. We replaced the flap every 2-3 years and needed to make a better attachment system due to the flaps tearing near the screws and plastic attachments breaking.

The door was pretty easy to install, as we were just replacing another PetSafe door of the same size. We did need to run to the store to get longer screws, but that may have been specific to our main door. Once installed, you can notice immediate improvement in the magnetic seal. The area by our back door was significantly less chilly. It also holds up to some fair wind, and it gets very windy where we live. Today we’re getting wind gusts of 20mph, and the door does open during those bigger gusts, and then immediately closes again with the magnet. We made the decision to close the dog door, but that’s the first time we’ve had to do that for weather since we installed it a week ago. We were doing that daily with our previous dog door. The potential savings on utility bills is worth the price of this door!

So far this pet door seems to close well with minimal drafts, but there appears to be a defect with mine in that the tracks on the inside of the door for the cover aren't wide enough to fit it to close it. I can only close it from the outside, which isn't good for security.. not sure if I would want to bother uninstalling it and getting it replaced or trying to make my own cover for the inside out of sheet metal or something. Update: contacted customer support, they were great and are sending me a new one

This was a replacement for PetSafe single flap screen door. It was straightforward to install and helps reduce the draft that we were getting with our previous door. My two small dogs were able to acclimate to the new door with no problem and my house isn’t fighting the cold draft as much as we did with the previous version of this door. The two exterior flaps and one center insulated flap really help to make sure that there is no air coming in.

This product is great, take your time and get all your measurements correct the first time. One piece of advice get a brand new blade on your saw so its a nice clean cut. I used a white all purpose caulk for on tip of the door to keep any moisture out.

C'est mon deuxième (taille supérieure) Le cadre alu est beaucoup plus solide ainsi que la trappe coulissante

Simple a installer, et vraiment pour l'avoir actuellement durant l'hiver, rien à dire bien isolante. Le plus problématique c'est que parfois elle se referme un peu mal mais c'est rare et même quand elle est mal fermée, elle reste plutôt bien isolante

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 :)

La he instalado recientemente en la pared (con ayuda de un obrero) y el resultado ha quedado muy bien integrado. El acabado en aluminio se ve resistente y de buena calidad. Uno de los aspectos que más me interesaba era el aislamiento, y el sistema de tres solapas cumple su función. La puerta queda bien sellada cuando se cierra y no deja pasar corrientes, algo importante si vives en zonas con frío o calor extremos. Mi gato pesa unos 8 kg y pasa sin ningún problema por la talla M. Eso sí, recomiendo revisar bien las medidas reales antes de comprar, porque en las fotos parece más grande de lo que es. Para un gato grande o perro pequeño/mediano puede ir bien, pero para un perro grande se quedaría justa. Estamos todavía enseñándole a usarla y abre con facilidad, así que la adaptación está siendo buena.

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.
