Ideal door has benefits over PetSafe
Size: Extra Large - 9.75" x 17" Flap Size
I have installed six pet doors (3 Ideal and 3 PetSafe brands) over the last few years. Two of the six doors were this large size Ideal pet door. I just replaced a PetSafe Aluminum door with this Ideal door because of a couple of added benefits. Both branded doors have an easy to follow installation template. Take your time and follow the directions and cutting a hole in your door will be less intimidating. My pet door experience goes back about ten years. My first install was a medium Ideal single flap pet door in a previous house. After seven years of great service the flap was getting ragged and since we had added a larger German Shepard to the family we opted to change to the extra-large Ideal Ruff Weather dual flap door. The dual flap door made a big difference in the temperature control in the small mud room and was in place for two additional years with no issues before we relocated. Once we moved we needed to give the dogs their freedom again so I got in a hurry to get the pet doors installed in the new house. Did not give much thought to the brand or whether aluminum or plastic, so I bought two aluminum pet doors. Remember I liked my plastic pet doors in the old house and had no issues with security or durability, so this where my pet door experience became more diverse. My install in the new house was the PetSafe large size aluminum pet door for a sixty and forty pound dog, on two exterior doors. The first door has a half window (nine panes) in the door with two inch blinds. The second door has a larger glass area (12 panes) with no blind. The first issue involves the space that is available above the pet door to slide in the pet door security cover. If you have a window blind on the door, the security cover will interfere, and you will need to raise the blind to create enough room to accommodate the height needed for the slide in cover. The tolerance of the aluminum groove for the slide in door cover is fairly tight which is a good thing for security, however you have to wrestle the blinds each time you want to slide in the security cover to keep the dogs outside. I tried to open up the tolerance but even after the groove was pried open slightly, I still cannot tilt the security cover (out) to a degree so the window blinds do not interfere. This means both hands must be free to install the cover. This does not seem like a big deal but it is something to consider if you latch the dogs outside each time you leave the house and there are kids and coats and stuff in hand. The second door does not have a window blind and I was able to open up the tolerance enough so the slide in cover would not interfere with the trim molding around the door window glass, but it is still a snug fit and it could damage the trim molding over time. I cannot say that this will be an issue for smaller size pet doors and this will not be a problem if you have a solid door. Based upon all of the issues I have experienced I will buy Ideal Ruff Weather doors for any future pet door needs. It is a plastic frame but it is substantial with metal screws and as it is quite a bit thicker, it sticks out on either side of the door about 2.2 inches. This does not bother me since this helps the insulation properties, and to overcome the clearance issues I raise above. Also the slide in security door can be installed on the inside or the outside. It slips into the groove snuggly in the beginning but loosens up and just drops and clips after a little use. This is so much nicer than having to have both hands free to manipulate the window blinds and line up the door. If you insist on PetSafe they also offer an Extreme Weather pet door that has a "clip on" security door. Cannot recall if aluminum frame but it is unique in that it has an insulated yellow flap in between two tinted flaps. Since the dogs cannot see through it they may require a little coaxing so they understand that it is not a solid object. Because of this the dogs cannot tell when the security door is in place. The side benefit is that our German Shepard slows down considerably going through the Extreme because she tried to come through at a brisk pace once or twice when the security cover was in place. I installed one of these previously as well and is a good product that insulates very well but you do have to kneel down and clip the security door on with both hands. And last, the plastic screws in the PetSafe doors are convenient for a quicker install but plan on replacing these with stainless steel screws once you establish the length. I think the only other issue is to address it from the dog's point of view. My dogs paused only slightly when we went from a single flap to a double flap. The smell (like new rubber floor mats) may have been a bigger deal than the thicker door frame. I also offer that smaller dogs that live with larger dogs will have to figure out the larger stride coming through the thicker profile of the Ideal style door. Not sure if it will be awkward for older and smaller dogs. Update 8/2013: Have purchased eight doors now and installed seven. Relocated once again and have purchased two more Ideal pet doors. One install was more complex because the door opening is through an exterior wall, so I hired this one out to a pro. We could have used the expandable tunnel offered by Ideal but the carpenter wanted a stronger box since it goes through brick. A simple box made from 2 x 10 boards worked well and made it very solid. Still very pleased with this product. ... show more

Very well made and easy to install
Size: Extra Large - 9.75" x 17" Flap Size
Great product. It was actually fairly easy to install - if you can run a drill and a jigsaw you can install this in less than an hour. They provide a template that you can tape to your door (or wall), then you just drill the required holes according to the sizes they tell you, then cut the main hole with a jigsaw, install the two pieces - one from the inside, one on the outside, put the four long bolts in through the holes that you drilled for each corner, tighten the bolts and you're done. If you want to go the extra mile, you can fill in between the pet door and your door (or wall) with some silicone sealant or whatever you have that would work just to make it that much more airtight, though it's not really necessary. Each flap has a plastic bar at the bottom with a magnet inside it. These bars can move up and down by roughly a half inch or so. So when the flaps open up those bars drop down to be fairly flush with the bottom of the pet door, and when the flaps fall down again the bars jump up and click in place onto the metal strips on the bottom of the flaps for a secure fit. Very well done in my opinion. And each flap has a line of the short bristles down each side that the sides of the flaps can seal against but can also push through in either direction when your pet goes in or out. They actually seal well on the flaps. Combined with the magnetic bars at the bottom and the dual flaps there is almost no air movement in or out even with a good wind. All-in-all I'm not sure how you might design the door to be any better. I considered one of the electronic doors that is keyed to a transmitter on our dog's collar, but who wants to worry about batteries dying or the electronics going out or (as I've read from other reviews) the door getting jammed on something and pupster is left out in the cold. Literally. This follows the KISS principle and couldn't be much simpler or foolproof. ... show more

Easy Install, Solid Product; Recommended
Size: Super Large - 15" x 23.5" Flap Size
Arrived next day as promised by Amazon, and took me about 45 minutes to install and cleanup. The template was spot-on, and the only thing I needed to effect the installation. As I was cleaning up I found the 'large print' Installation Instructions sheet, the first I've seen. My install was in a foam-core steel door, which was easy enough, although it would have been much easier if I'd used a different blade in my sabre saw. The blade I used was a few millimeters too short so I had to cut the panel out from each side. If I'd taken the time to evaluate the job properly I'd have spent eight or nine dollars on a 6" blade and the entire install would have taken less than 30 minutes. Tape the template to your door, drill 8 1/2" holes for the bolts, 2 more as starter holes for your saw, cut out the rectangular panel (once, if you' plan better than I did) and install the two sections, one from the inside and one from the outside, screw the 8 bolts in, and sweep up. I used a small torpedo level to plumb the template, a pencil to trace it, a spring loaded punch to ensure the holes I drilled would be centered, a Bosch Cordless drill (from Amazon) with a 3/16" bit to drill the pilot holes and a 1/2" bit as indicated on the template, a sabre saw with a 32 tooth per inch blade, and an old fashioned wood handled Philips head screwdriver. Although I do have a background in construction, I'm confident that if you own a drill motor and a sabre saw you should be able to install this door yourself. The product is well designed, sturdy, and works well right out of the box. I've used the 'other brand' in the past, but prefer the design and durability of the Ideal Pet Products door. The only fault I can find with this door is that all but the most obese burglar could crawl through such a large opening, but that's like complaining about the gas mileage your truck gets pulling a horse trailer. If you have a large dog like mine, you need a door he can fit through; and the burglar who want to take a chance with my 83 pound, 13" wide boxer/pit bull mix, or any dog that requires a door this large are probably few and far between. Overall, I find this to be a fine product and don't hesitate to recommend it. ... show more

I’ve had my Ruff Weather (RW) dual flap dog door for 11 years. The door frame itself has performed superbly from an 85lb and a 110lb dog both blasting through it many times a day over the decade plus. However, the weak point of these doors -as you well know if you have one - is that after only a few weeks the flap begins to sag, resulting in a gap that renders your door not so “Ruff Weather.” Over the years I tried a few things to fix a sagging flap, and all failed, so I have had to invest hundreds of dollars in new flaps over this time. Recently I bought a brand new RW door (I put the old one on my shed studio), and I noticed that the Ideal Pet people have tried to address the gap caused by the flap sag by making the brush felt on the sides longer now, so that the felt overlaps the flap instead of just meeting it - too bad they couldn’t have addressed the cause instead of the symptom! Anyway, this time I really applied myself to finding a solution, and I came up with an inexpensive one that works: FlexFix UL Listed Duct Tape Sealer (1.89 in. x 120.3 yd). 1. Starting with the long sides, lay out a piece the tape long enough to go all the way from top to bottom of the flap. Lay the flap on the tape so the flap edge is on the center of the tape, then bring the tape up over to the top side of the flap, sandwiching the flap between the piece of tape. It’s important that the tape goes all the way top to bottom because this is what keeps it from sagging. 2. Repeat step one with the top of the flap 3. Slit the tape a bit where the flap holes are so the pegs can go through I did this then waited a year to post this, just to make sure the flap didn’t sag. It didn’t! The tape even improved the sag on the old flap a bit. Photo 1 is the gap that never fails to appear on each flap after a few weeks. Photo 2 is a brand new flap with flexfix duct tape on all four sides Photo 3 is the taped flap installed (view from inside with inside flap removed) Photo 4 is the taped flap after one year (that green on the bottom of the door itself is painter’s tape. This area is hard to clean, so I put the tape on there and when it gets dirty I just peel it up and put new down) As a bonus for you DIYers, I've included photos of the type of dog door that the Amish around here use. If you are a good trainer, this looks to me like the best fix for high wind areas. Those are self-closing hinges so the door takes a slight bit of effort to open, then snaps closed, so maybe not good for smaller dogs. My dogs were old when I got this shed with the door, one of my dog's is sensitive and they both dislike change, so I opted to replace this door with my old RW door from the house (mentioned earlier). ... show more

NICE Dog Door - Dog LOVES it ;-)
Size: Super Large - 15" x 23.5" Flap Size
I know you might be thinking, "a door is just a door, right?!?" (What more to it can there be?) But there was in-fact A LOT to this dog door (so I hope you'll like my overall/detailed observations - I'm sure you'll find it helpful [as not to make mistakes]). So just let me start by saying, WOW, I just got finished installing this thing (the "Super" one...., which was HUGE!!) When I first saw how large it was [in person] I wasn't 100% sure it would work (and the reason why [I'm sure] Amazon had a HUGE number of "Warehouse Deals" [indicative of many returns], but I got a GREAT deal on it, as the reason why I tried it out). But when I looked at the different "size" options I knew the Super was the ONLY one for my ginormous 120 lb German Shepherd! In fact, it was SO BIG, I had to cut through at least one (1) stud to get it in (cutting studs is usually a BAD idea). However, (again) I had no choice, due to the size. Overall, It was going through my garage wall so I needed to buy the wall extender kit as well (purchased here, at Amazon, for only about $20 bucks). And it was a REAL PAIN getting all the measurements properly aligned due to the garage walls being so....far..... from one another (> than 8 inches). You REALLY have to measure (and measure again) to make sure both sides are just...... right..... - once you start cutting you CAN'T look back 😅😱 (I know, since I messed up another project!) I "eyeballed" things [a little] and wasn't worst for ware, since there is about an inch "cushion" (for error) - the cushion being the frame lip, which extends out a bit, ...... and then there is that "template" included with the product (which was EXTREMELY helpful - but, was also VERY delicate (almost as thin as toilet tissue). And you have to tape this up (on the wall) to draw the lines on the wall in order to make your cuts. In fact, the template is so thin that I'd suggest that you contact the company and request ANOTHER one of these, cause once you use it [on one side] it pretty much disintegrates, to the point that you'll need another (for the other side of the wall). Most reviewers noted that you "need" at least two (2) people to adequately install this, but I did it fine (myself). All you have to do is reach THROUGH the dog door opening (to the other side) as you're installing, bring [hug] all pieces together, in order to get the screws started. Then once the screws are started (all eight of them) then a drill (with a Phillips head) is good enough to speed things up (at the end). Another thing is/was, that it was really a PAIN getting one or two of the screws to line up, but once you do then it's a breeze at the end. Just [again] use your drill to tighten (in a rotational/clockwise manner, from one screw to another). (PS/BTW - make SURE your entry screw part [panel] is on the INSIDE of the wall, so that burglars can't unscrew the unit - even though the "super" size is so.....big I'm sure that even a large human can get inside - but then again, WHO in the world would be STUPID enough to try to go through a door of a HUGE dog ?!?😅). And once you tighten the screws this thing is VERY sturdy!! There is also a security door that comes with this. It slides in nicely (to/on either side), and the bottom "magnets" are also very nice, as they always catch the flaps every time your dog goes through. Then, lastly, there is the [last] issue, of whether your dog will even "use" the door! (It would be a TOTAL WASTE [of Money] if they didn't 😨😥 -- But in my case, it took all but 10 minutes to show my Shepherd how it works - he now LOVES it!! (cause he now has access to the warmer [and insulated, and safe, and quiet] garage. So overall (my dog using it), I am SO GLAD that my two hours of labor were not in vain! 😄 ....(then again, I guess, in hindsight, I guess two people would have made it/things much "Quicker" - LOL 😃 So if your considering buying this then DO IT! - but......be ready to "do it right", or, hire a good handyman [even better]). ... show more

Size: Super Large - 15" x 23.5" Flap Size
Got the super large for my 149 lb. Wolf/Shepard/moose mix. She fits perfectly. So easy to put in, thanks in part to another reviewer who suggested using a grinding wheel, brilliant. Came with a pattern for cutting and drilling. Very heavy duty. The two plastic flaps are nice and thick. I figure just because the size I'll get some cold weather coming in but the way it's designed not expecting much. Almost bought a pet safe since their the big name in pet doors, but this one was a lot cheaper and had good reviews. So glad I did. I will always come back to Ideal for my pet door needs and will definitely recommend to my friends. Couldn't be happier with it, only wish I could give it 10 stars. Well we made it thru the winter with no issues. Didn't get any draft coming thru except when we get halfway thru and have to stop and think about whether we really want to be inside (Yes, my dog has no idea what is going on with the back half of herself and the tail is some kind of alien creature attached itself to her that she has no control over. (She is a blonde) Flaps are still working beautifully, and we are using the heck out of it. Almost 2 years and I'm just now replacing the flaps. We probably would have made it another few years but we got a new puppy who thinks the in and out game is a blast. ... show more

Great quality, good instructions, and awesome user base for help!
Size: Extra Large - 9.75" x 17" Flap Size
We installed this doggy door through a drywall and stucco wall that was about 6 inches thick. The installation did require using the wall tunnel kit also made by Ideal and that kit provides materials that can accommodate installation in a much thicker wall. The door as some note in their review takes some getting use to, our dogs that are pretty close to senior citizenship took about 5 hours tp figure it out. The older dog that has some hip problems has had some issues getting through the double door, but she is getting the hang of it now. I will be gluing down a piece of industrial carpet between the two doors to see if that helps, as she doesn't seem to want to step on the plastic wall tunnel. I did support the floor of the tunnel with a floating 2x4 above the wall insulation. I may come back if the tunnel gets unstable and place a longer 2x4 that can be attached to the wall studs instead of just floating and screwed in on to the drywall. Its more there to make sure the wall insulation doesnt drift into the tunnel from air pressure changes. We installed the door on a north facing wall, in a home in the East Valley of Phoenix. Before this door we had a door the for our sliding glass patio door which always seemed to be a source of hot or cold air in the extreme temps in the Phoenix area. Im hoping this door will prove to be more efficient and more comfortable for the whole family. While most of the door is plastic the screws go into metal fittings that are inserted in the plastic door frame. I found getting a diamond tipped 7 inch saw blade for my circular saw worked very well, and since I didn't have a huge section of stucco to cut I didnt bother with using any water cooling. I would suggest a good mask in addition to eye protection when cutting through a wall, because you never know what you might bump into. I happened to cut right next to a nail holding the stucco chicken wire mesh to the wall. Had I hit the actual nail I could have been harmed as I did the work in my normal attire, flop flips, shorts and a t-shirt. Hindsight says I should have been wearing shoes and pants at least to deflect some of the materials that could come flying out of the wall. I also posted a few questions about the install of the door and to my surprise I actually recieved answers! And good answers so this door not only has the support of the manufacturer but also other users of the product which is great! Something I think all products could use, knowledgeable people answering questions instead of some answers such as "I don't know, try asking the vendor", those should really nust be deleted. ... show more

Great purchase. Great quality, easy installation. No more rushing home to let the dog out.
Size: Super Large - 15" x 23.5" Flap Size
I have two dogs that are 4.5 years old. One is 106 pounds, the other is 62 pounds. I got this door because my big boy actually broke my friend's electronic door by ripping it off the hinges. They also were afraid to use it because it was white and couldn't see through it. This solved both of those problems. This door is big enough that both of dogs can actually squeeze through it side by side (and when they get excited, they do). They love that it is clear and can look through it to see to the other side. Sometimes, they still feel what it's like outside and will just stick half of their body through, sniff the air for a few minutes, and come back inside. The double flaps seal up very well. I have never noticed a cool or warm draft coming through them even in Houston. However, the magnet is not very strong and if it is windy the flaps will blow open. I have a covered porch over the door this is installed on, but in bad storms I will sometimes get water inside on my floor. If I'm home, no big deal, I just put the plastic door in place and the problem is solved. The dogs absolutely love the freedom. I work 12 hour shifts so they love not having to wait until I get home to relieve themselves. They can do it, but they are much more comfortable now. Another big plus is if I'm spending the night somewhere else, I can put some extra food and water out and the big boys can take care of themselves! Installation was way easier than expected. If you have any handy skills, do not pay for someone to install this! I installed this on a fiberglass door with decorative panels. Simply drill the corner holes as aligned in the template, take a jig saw and connect the holes, put each side of the door in, and tighten the screws. I did caulk the seams on both the inside and outside. This is mainly important on the outside, but since the decorative panels create spots where it doesn't sit flush, I went ahead and did both sides. Caulk is cheap and better safe than sorry. I formerly had an all glass door in the back, and I bought a new fiberglass door just for this. It felt silly because I cut out literally half of a brand new door to put a dog door in! This is a great purchase. No more rushing home to let the dog out. Great quality. Will buy again if I ever move. ... show more
