One flap is too short leaving a gap
You can see a large gap on the exterior flap due to it being just too short to make contact with the magnetic strip. Poor manufacturing quality control to let it out the door.

    I just adopted two older very large Rottweilers and they couldn't use my smaller door. The 10 year old, 150 pounder had never used a door before and she loves it. They both get through it easily. It's sturdy, and very easy to install. Love the double flaps. All four of my dogs use it with ease. I've used this brand before and have had no issues with any of the doors.

    Great weather proof door. I live in Arizona and I was worried putting a pet door in would also allow the heat in. So far so good! We put the cover on during the hottest part of the day but otherwise the flaps keep the heat out on their own.

    Pretty Good, wall kit not so much
    The door itself seems ok for the price. am concerned side seals won't last long. The wall kit is a disaster in my opinion I got the large 9.75x17, The wall kit is 1/4 to 3/8" undersize leaving a gap around inside.

      Worst door. Homedpt doesn't allow longer reviews
      A slight breeze blows and let's cold/hot air in. Weather strips on sides fall off after a year than you have a 1/2" gap on each side that allows air to freely flow into the house. This door works well if you keep the cover on it which defeats the purpose.

        DO NOT BUY FOR "Rough weather." FIRST day it was installed 13-15 mph wind gusts blow this OPEN with ease.
        Doesn't work as advertised great door easy install. Day ONE 15 mph winds were blowing it wide open. I cut a freaking hole in my door to install at least a doggy door that wouldn't blow open easily. NOT the case. False advertising. Beyond upset for a hundred dollar plus dog door.

          Excellent dog door once installed. Flaps are clear, so it doubles as a large window for the dog. Flaps are heavy, magnets at bottom edge strong, bristles alongside vertical edges seal out wind. Hard to line up screws with holes of exterior dog door piece. Easy for screws to go outside of the threaded slot. Trace template on both sides of door for best alignment and cutting.

          It is taller and narrower than the prior version, it does hold the weather out very well, the rim did cover the difference in the hole shape, thicker dogs may need to move up one size, but it also keeps people from using it to get into my house much better.

          The pet door frame is made of heavy plastic that should hold up for years. The inner flaps easily swing out of the way for my 80 Lb Black Lab and my 60 Lb Airedale puppy. The dogs love their new pet door since they can now enter or leave my screened swimming pool area any time they like. They figured out how to use it in about 15 minutes by bribing them with treats on the opposite side of the door from where they were sitting. I will probably buy another pet door like this one so the dogs can get in/out of the house and into the pool enclosure. Since I did not mount this pet door to an exterior house door, I had to make a few modifications. I made a pressure-treated plywood spacer and added some aluminum sheet metal to mount the pet door in one of my pool enclosure screen-panel areas. The 3/4" plywood I used spaces the halves of the pet door to something like a house door thickness. The sheet metal attaches to the pool enclosure frame with self-taping screws. The wood and metal makes for a rock solid mount that can stand up to dogs racing through it at 60 MPH.

          Great doggy door. Easy to install, double flaps are sturdy and provide good insulation. We have a German shepherd, golden retriever and a cockapoo We installed it a bit lower than recommended due to the cockapoo. Our German shepherd goes outside several times per hour to chase anything that moves and the door is holding up well. We had the same door at our last house and it lasted over 10 years ( 3 dogs and multiple fosters). Very easy to teach dogs to use it with a human on each side and treats. So glad Home Depot carries this product!

          It works great for about the 1 year to 1 1/2 year of its life. It does exactly as it says. But.....it will LEAK into your house. Most parts are worn by 1.5 year and all replacement parts to completely make the door good again can cost as much as replacing the whole dog door so I recommend going to buy a new one. But just a small price to pay to keep the water out of your house and fur buddies happy.

          We love it! We have this going out to a wired pen so our cat doesn't escape as well, so there can be flies at certain times of the year..It was terrible with the curled old flap which was discontinued, so I couldnt replace it..We were also losing our heat and air conditioning in the summer, right thru the flap, which was quite a bit larger which was also a safety concern..This is so much better and has eliminated every problem except--it's taking our older dogs a week to get used to the double flaps! The cat still won't go thru it, but eventually I'm hopeful!! Thx!

          This was exactly what we needed to go from the inside of the house to the screened porch. The installation was easy and the instructions were spot on. We added the wall kit and the instructions fit well with the door. I would purchase this item again.

          Surprisingly solid door
          I was hesitant at first, since this is not a metal frame but the thing is surprisingly well made. The polymer construction is solid and it was easy to install. It took me about an hour and a half to do, and I just filled in all the gaps from the cutout with silicone before tightening everything down. My dog loves it and was easy to train her to use.

            Installed the pet door in a French door to the patio. Easy to assemble and install once the glass door was ready. Had to remove the existing double pane glass (1/2") and replace it with a double layer of .220 acrylic cut from a single 4'x8' sheet also obtained from Home Depot. Cut the pet door opening in the acrylic. Had to install an additional 1/2" shim frame around the opening as the pet door needs a minimum 3/4" inch surfacte to tighten onto. The dogs love it! It only took them a couple of days to get used to using the door. The dual flaps work well to keep out the cold air.

            Ideal Pet Door is very easy to install and the Dual Flaps work great. Our Five year old took on to it in just a few days but more importantly our "Eight Week Old Puppy" took it on immediately. No clean up they go outside! We installed ours in a wall with no problems.

            This is the 4th time I bought this product. The door installs very easily and it works great. My 160 lb Saint Bernard loves this door. It keeps the cold out and the warm in. My only recommendation is to be sure you drill and saw squarely to the template and everything will line up perfectly.

            The product eventually met our requirements but required professional installation. The problem is that the information on the internet is not clear as to the wall mount installation. We recommend clear instructions on the packaging that the wall mount should be ordered in that the retailers ie Home Depot do not stock the product. The internet site is the only place to order it and again it is not clear it is required for wall vs door installation.

            Love it. Installed it an couldn't be more pleased. Dogs utilized it almost immediately, and I can't feel the outside temperatures next to it. Also if I don't want the dogs to go out it has an option to block it!!
