When my spouse came up with the idea of putting in a doggie door, for our 3 small dogs, I was skeptical. I wasn't sure how they would adapt to using it, but moreover, I was concerned that I was essentially leaving a square-foot open hole in a door, allowing drafts, weather, and insects into our house.Installation was pretty straightforward, taking the measurements of three weak-bladdered, hyper-active chihuahua's proved to be more of a challenge than marking out the basement door for the hole.The surprising thing is how well insulated this pet door actually, is! I feel zero drafts coming from around the door, and the magnets that secure the door, are strong enough to prevent air currents caused by other doors opening and closing or a stiff breeze opening it, but still allow the animals through with minimal effort.Hints to install are, take the exterior door off its' hinges, and lay on a couple of sawhorses to drill your pilot holes and make your cuts. Our exterior door is insulated fiberglass composite, so I'd recommend a high-speed oscillating cutting tool, with a fresh blade to make your cuts clean and quick. Minimal dust and styrofoam insulation remain mostly in one piece. You'll probably end up making two separate cuts on either side of the exterior door. Have some silicone sealant to put in the gaps created by the doggie door, that are left from the decorative trim/scalloping you may have to cut through. See photos for installation.Training the dogs was an entirely different matter. They weren't too keen on the door to start, but with positive reinforcement, I had 2 of the 3 dogs going in and out on their own. The third one is a bit of a diva, so she took another week or so, but stick with it, and treat/praise them when they use it, and pretty soon, you'll never have to open the door to let them out to potty, ever again. Now, the dogs come and go into the house from the back door into our fenced-in yard. I know they're safe and I no longer have to worry about messy pet accidents if we are away from home longer than planned. The dogs have shelter/food/water when they need it inside the house, but fresh air to run around outside whenever the mood strikes them.Get it. install it. Train your dogs. You'll be glad you did...

This may be a bit costly but it’s a well made heavy duty dog door. With two large doodles, one that comes flying in the door like a bull in a china closet it’s been a great choice. I love hose thick the flap is and how good it seals when shut. It’s really worth the extra to just get a great door to begin with that has a heavy duty flap that can take a licking and keep on ticking as they say. Very simple to install, wall installation and well worth buying. I highly recommend.

When I first took this out of the box I was really impressed by the construction--much more solid than less expensive plastic-framed doors I have installed at other properties. This does cost more than those doors but, for me, it seems to be worth the extra expense.The frame is metal and reinforced with a 90* bracket at the corners. The outside frame goes into the cutout first, gets screwed in-place and then the inner frame w/ the "door" goes in. The nice thing about the two separate frames is that the screw holes are offset so there really aren't any issues with lining up inner and outer portions of the door.The security door that can be inserted on the inside is--like the rest of the door--more solid than others I have installed. It is thicker and locks fairly securely into place.The actual "door" IS NOT "air tight"--not that I really expected that--but it is about 3/8" thick and provides a good enough seal from my perspective. It settles into position fairly quickly although I wish it were faster.A couple other things...1. It does not come with a template so you will need to have basic knowledge of how to layout the dimensions onto the door before cutting an opening.2. I cut my opening into a solid wood door with raised panels with a jig saw while the door was still mounted. Between the door thickness and the challenges of gravity while cutting, the blade flexed a bit and made my cuts less accurate than ideal--I had to come back in a few spots and adjust the opening. Reciprocating saw or even a circular saw would have been better. This made my opening more sloppy than ideal. I ended up using non-expanding canned foam to seal up my final product.3. The door flap is a little heavier than the clear plastic sheeting on other doors I have had. Some pets may be put off by this.

$500+ with wall tunnel….its not worth the money or the time. Don't bother with the wall tunnel. It might fit a 2x6 wall depending on your cladding but any other dimensions and it is a bigger pain in the ass. The wall tunnel is powder coated aluminum held together by some brackets. You will have to calk the entire thing to keep it water tight good luck with that. For this price gaskets could have been engineered. Additionally the tunnel it is made to be sandwiched between the two frames. No bolts connect the frames and the tunnel. Incidentally both doors are different dimensions so make sure your measurements are good.At the end of the day do not get this kit. If you do just frame it in like a window it will be way easier.But considering the plastic security door, the screws that are not white, not even caps provided, the lack of gaskets, the lack of a system to tie everything together to make installation easier and the terrible instructions…..Do not get this. You had better know what your doing it’s an advanced DYI project and over priced:
