🚪 BarksBar Original Dog Door - White, Plastic with Aluminum Lining, Soft Flap, Sliding Panel and Telescoping Frame, 2-Way Locking Review

Purchased for an interior door. Installation was pretty easy. Only longer because of the blunt jigsaw blade. If you have the right gear, this should be easy. I left the vinyl flap removed to allow the anxious cat and dog to get used to it. Then I added a clasp. The magnetic closure drives both of them insane. After examining it, I found that the magnetic strip on the bottom snaps in and out. I removed it and now they both started using it with the valve. It's only been a few weeks, I'll be…

For the price I wasn't expecting much and I was surprised! I bought this to put up a temporary door in my mom's house for when me and my monsters come to visit. I have a $400 dog door at home (it's a bee's knee, btw) and I didn't think I'd even like this one, but it's fine for short visits. I am very impressed with this product! Installation was easy and the instructions are clear. The flap is quieter than most dog doors when opening and closing. The door is not made of cheap material and I…

I bought this door to replace the previous door I had for 3 cats. My original cat door had a hard plastic hinged door - my one crazy cat picked the lock very quickly and I had to block the door every night to keep him in! My cats have access to my garden during the day (I have an underground fence so they don't escape) and come in at night. I bought this door because it has a solid panel that slides over the flap to latch it. I installed it about a month ago - my only artist cat struggled to…

UPDATE! Purchased a replacement Ideal Pet Products valve, extra large size (NOT super large) and it fits PERFECTLY! SUPER happy I was able to use a replacement shock from another company! Very easy installation, even in a metal door. Hubs did a fantastic job. Very easy to keep clean (obviously not in this photo). There were no problems with the magnetic stripe. Bought in April last year. That went on for about a year and a half. It only recently started to fall apart. tear above. There is only…

The photo shows the door after 4 months of use. Bought 2 of these. While the second was on the way, the first fell apart (the magnetic strip was ripped off and chewed up). Too late to cancel the second. This door will work for a quieter dog and a garage door leading into the house, but will NOT work for a door leading outside. Even a weak wind opens it wide. It's not well done. The magnetic stripe is a known problem that can easily be fixed, they want to sell me replacement strips instead. If…

We are old. We had a puppy. We are amazed that we made it through a full week of the puppy constantly opening the potty door outside and then inside. Outside. Inside. Outside. Inside. Outside. (You understand) Sometimes we just left the door wide open and let the flies in. So we bought a dog door and after seeing the rave reviews for this product combined with a very reasonable price we ordered it. The best purchase we've made in a long time. As we assume that the installation would take almost

Fast and easy assembly as the template is printed on cardboard instead of thin printing paper as with other manufacturers. It took longer to go to the hardware store and buy a jigsaw than it did to install. Was afraid to break down the storm door for this, but the seal on the pet door is tight. The plastic valve closes well, and even with the outer screen door ajar, no water got in during an unexpected downpour (although the dogs at home got wet, lol). I set it a little higher than the…

Pros: VERY cheap price especially compared to others on the market. Looks very good. Feels very durable. on 2 doors of the house, both used by a 60 lb dog. Cons: None yet, but to date (02/21/17) the door has been used for 24 hours. The reason I can't give this 5 stars is because I can't vouch for the durability of the product as it hasn't been exposed to the elements and has only been used 24 hours so I can't say for sure how durable it will be is. Also, and very slightly, one of the doors had…
