🐾 Convenient and Efficient: Ideal Pet Products Ruff-Weather Pet Door Wall Kit, Medium Review

I installed this through the wall pet door replacing a worn door. I also ordered a wall kit which I think is a must for this type of installation. Installation for those who have trouble replacing the faucet or assembling children's toys. I had to build a cedar frame on the outside to hold the door tightly shut. This involved cutting cedar paneling and using a variety of carpentry tools. I also cut to fit the baseboard molding on the interior wall. Of course, if it's a new installation, you…

THIS MARK WAS IN A PREVIOUS HOUSE AND IS IN SUPER WELL CONDITIONED. Our family has a Shih Tzu that we bought this dog for. Then our sons and daughter-in-law have two sizes of black Labs who quickly figured out how to get in and out (on their knees, pretty funny) and of course the Rat Terrier was as good as a Yorkie in no time. The dampers stayed in place, even in 20 degree frost not a single part broke or cracked and thanks to the double dampers most of the wind and the whole blizzard stayed…

This door is perfect. We put one in the wall of the dirty room and one in the back door for our dogs. We had a problem with our old door that opened in the wind in winter. Although we didn't survive the winter with a door in the wall, I don't think it will swing open in the wind. The magnetic strip on the bottom of the valve fits very well. We have removed the additional valve from both doors. If we need them this winter, we can put them back on. Otherwise we will keep them as spare sheets in…

Great addition to a pet door product. A carpenter friend and I installed two of these devices in the "cat house" my mom built next to her new home. The goal is for the cats to have a place to go without letting them all in the house. The cat house measures 12 x 12 and looks the same as the main house. It's in the countryside and I wanted to make sure that no wild animals would come in and trap my cats in the cat house on the opposite wall, so I installed two pet doors on opposite sides of the…

I bought a medium sized Ruff Weather door along with a wall kit and am posting this review for both. This door is well designed in many ways. The magnets are strong, the parts fit together well, the valves are easy to remove for cleaning or replacement, and the outside air is tight! I couldn't even blow it out with a blower. I am impressed with the build quality of everything and the simple design with a door, wall kit and sliding panel to close. Please note that the wall kit is only suitable…

I bought a medium sized pet door and wall bellows kit to replace another that was installed in our home when it was built 5 years ago. This is superior to the previously installed one. We get enough bad weather up here in Washington state. A few weeks ago, an independent job finding a crawl space showed me that an old pet door was letting the weather seep into the stud wall. I had to act urgently to get everything going again. I ended up replacing the old door with this one, and given the same…

I paid a "recommended technician" $80 to install a door and wall kit in my house. I suspect he didn't read or understand the instructions and most likely this was the first dog door he installed. He made additional holes inside and out as his measurements were wrong enough that the bolts couldn't be lined up to go through. When I then told him that the kit was an optional accessory for the dog flap and to avoid tearing off two edges, he went ahead and did it without even trying it on (as…
