Review on ๐Ÿˆ PetSafe Wall Entry Pet Doors - Small, Medium, Large - White - Easy Install - Cat & Dog Door for Freedom & Convenience - Made in USA by Tammy Larsen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not easy to install

Pros: It seems to be of high quality. The double doors give it a clean look and easily keep insects and wind out of your home. Fur: It was a bit of a hassle teaching my dogs to use the double flaps even though they are used to using the single flap. dog door. The exit will also be slightly higher off the ground as the floor of most houses is slightly higher than the landing outside. This is more of an issue if you have small dogs and I had to put up a small ramp at the exit so my small dogs don't have to do 7 inch jumps at the dog door. However, each dog door is in the wall, so I don't label them for that. The bad thing: the supplied templates for cutting out do not work. Especially the cardboard one, the instructions say to put it in the dog door, mark the position of the 3 holes, drill those holes and then match the paper template on the other side. I found that even when I lined up the cardboard template perfectly, the pilot holes were crooked. If I hadn't checked the level the outside door would have looked terrible and probably didn't fit me. I had to measure the outer hole by hand. The screws provided are not the correct screws to attach a door to plaster or drywall. They don't hold up very well and I had to use some screws of my own. I would also advise anyone using this to seal the outside door seams with sealant; This product compromises the watertightness of your home's exterior, so it's important to seal the seams to prevent moisture from entering the wall and causing thousands of dollars in damage. The product obviously does not contain or mention this. Overall the product is okay and it's pretty much your only choice under $300. I'm satisfied, only disappointed with the complexity of the installation.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Don't really like it, everything is fine
