SERIOUSLY ANGRY - Contact manufacturer

I've had a Pet-Safe XL brand pet door that has gone from our cage to the pool in the backyard for years - and when the valve finally started to wear out with use it was time to close it replace it. I didn't want to go with the "unbranded", "likely to match" alternative - I bought a BRAND NAME XL replacement valve. When it arrived I took a quick look to see that it was the same, and it certainly was, right down to the brand logo stamped on the valve itself. I just removed an old torn valve and discovered that REPLACING THE BRAND NAME DOESN'T WORK! six holes where it screws into the top of the pet door frame. The problem is that when the old valve was removed from the frame, there were no holes at the top. There are about half a dozen rectangular "tabs" that protrude from the valve and slide neatly into a channel at the top of the frame to hold it securely in place. Not only that, but when I actually pulled the old valve out. and put a new one on, I found it was only "about" the same size. Its width is 1/4 to 3/8 inch. Even if I COULD install it, it would leave a long vertical hole for the bugs to easily pass through. I'm not sure why they decided to change the flap attachment method or why they decided the "XL" size of the pet door needed to be downsized, but I checked the box. Pet Safe needs to get it right.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • old
