🚪 Ideal Pet Products Replacement Flap for 3-Panel Airseal and VIP Pet Door Review

I bought an expensive patio with this flap over 5 years ago. It worked fine, and then the rubber between the valves burst. So I bought a replacement shield - it lasted exactly one year. The rubber between the plastic valves fell apart after 1 year. I called the company and they told me there was nothing I could do but buy a new valve and they only had a one year warranty. They called again to complain after replacing the damper and was told I can only buy the rubber part which I did and it…

I replace one of these doors about every 3 years but I have 3 large active dogs that go in and out of the dog door daily and sometimes at high speed! It's a quality product and it's only after they've zoomed in and out for a few years that the rubber on the top cracks and they break it. I don't mind replacing it at all because it's very well made and the individual panels are thick and insulated which has saved me money on my heating bill and the dogs 24/7 backyard access. This thick plastic is

I bought this to replace the dog door in my screen door which I bought from a home storage facility many years ago. My old man became a victim of dogs again. This time the rubber hinge broke. The plastic was pre-taped/glued and drilled through to replace the broken screw/hole. I also had to take it apart several times to put the hinges back into the panels. Hopefully all of this gets fixed with an improved design that has added screws through the plate to hold the rubber loops in place. So if…

We bought our new house in November 2015 and installed the dog door quickly. We chose this door because we live in Houston and it is very important for us to insulate it as much as possible to keep out the cold and insects. Unfortunately, the first sash broke in April. The seal was torn in two between the two lower doors and it was impossible to save him. We named the perfect pet and they were lovely but we lost the receipt and foolishly threw away the guarantee so they couldn't send us a…

We have been using this type of pet door for years and I have ordered 2 replacements when needed. I have two dogs that weigh between 50 and 70 pounds and they both fit through the valve with no problem. The youngest seems to charge the valve as she enters and leaves the house and he will last about 2-3 years with this type of abuse. Eventually the bottom hinge starts to break and a replacement is on the horizon. Not the fault of the Damper himself, but a feral 50-pound dog banging him on the…

The replacement valve fits easily and looks fresh and new but will not loosen the worn seal on the edge of the frame so it's not just a new door in my case at least. I'm also frustrated with the manufacturer's policy of not only supplying wear parts - rubber joints and top, bottom and side seals. I went as far as writing to the company asking about these parts, only to be told they cannot be replaced as they are "acoustically welded" to the wing panels to prevent moisture ingress. I pulled the…
