Ideal Pet Products Aluminum Pet Patio Door, Adjustable Height 77-5/8" to 80-3/8", 7" x 11-1/4" Flap Size, Mill/Silver

As the cheapest option I was able to find, I am really impressed with this dog door. It's made surprise well, and installs in just a few minutes. Since I didn't opt for the locks to make it connect to the actual sliding door, the install took less than two minutes.My two complaints are:1. The plastic sliding door for the 7x11 opening does not stay up. It has to be completely removed to open the door. It's a slight nuisance but no big deal.2. The plastic flap does of the 7x11 door frame does not form a 'perfect' seal (there are tiny visible gaps), so I will apply more weather strip along the frame to seal it better.These are two minor issues, one of which has an easy fix. I am willing to overlook the little things for the price point, so I still consider this dog door a five star product.

My big kitty act like a dog scratching to go in and out of the Lanai... was making us crazy. This is perfect. He and his sister love that they have freedom to go out on their sun porch wherever they want. Big kitty took to it immediately. My other cat needed a bit of introduction but she learned quickly (I actually think she just wants me to go with her all the time lol)... I actually forget it is installed. Love that it has a separate door to place if we want it locked. I bought a bar to secure and my slider... plus add a piece of wood at night for extra safety

It was easy to install until I got to the lock. Naturally, I can't find any videos that cover the installation of the lock.It also looks great with the exception of it being slightly wider at the top, causing a small gap at the bottom. Yes, even after the weather stripe was added.The draft guard pieces are ever so helpful too. I just wish it came with something to close the gap between the screen and added dog door panel. We like to let fresh air in, but without flying bugs coming in.

I'm a lifelong dog owner & my dogs have always trained me in constantly getting up & down to let them in & out 24/7. Finally, thanks to my latest rescue & work from home routine- I decided to try a doggie door. Why did I wait so long? The freedom for me & my fur babies is great!!!I purchased the "used-like new" option, there's a small ding in the frame & the outer package was pretty torn up & retaped. But that was mentioned in the product details & for the reduced price that I paid, I don't mind. The product inside the box was new & all the pieces were included and able to be installed.Installing it took me about 30 minutes. I have a very old sliding glass door, so I did have to make some adjustments after the initial installation to slide it into the doorframe. There was still a big gap after installing the provided weatherstriping , but I added weatherstriping that I had onhand to the door surface itself & between that & a few pieces of foil tape, filled the gap. So weatherstriping on doogie door frame side & then on sliding glass door frame side, fixed the issue. The adjustable bar style lock on the other side helps to keep it all lined up & fairly air tight.It was very easy to figure out & my 2 yr old schipperke mix was already going in & out as I was trying to install it. He's the main reason I got it, so I was very happy he liked it. My 12 yr old cheweenie is still trying to figure it out. He's nervous about the flap movement, so I have to flip it open & closed for him.... hoping he gets it someday. But at least I have 1 dog using it fulltime & non-stop all day & all night long. The magnetic flap is pretty good about closing itself as the dogs go in & out. Yes, I'm sure it's not particularly energy efficient- but it does what I need it to do. It does include an inside shield that slides over the flap & snap locks it shut, so you can close it up at night & when you're not home.One observation I do have, is that it's listed as being good for up to 35 pound dogs. My guys both weigh in at about 24 pounds & while they fit thru the door ok- I cannot imagine trying to squeeze another 10 pounds thru that opening? I might suggest sizing up from the suggested weights in the product details if you have a larger dog.Very happy with it so far. If anything changes, I'll update my review.

This is a great product! We bought it for our Maine Coon who LOVES to go out into our screened-in lanai. (That's "Florida" for patio) Holding the door for our beloved feline over and over ALL DAY seemed to us to be a misuse of our "valuable" time so we started looking for something like this.It is a heavy and well built unit. Like that it has a flap, and a way to lock the baby in or out.HOWEVER, the directions to install it into the working sliding door was not going to work for us. And it probably won't work for you either. They instruct us to install this to the left or right of where we are walking through. Our sliders have locks in them and this item does not account for any locking mechanism as it is solid on the sides. So what we did is, removed the protruding lock mechanism from the right side of the slider, and installed it there into the end of the non-working sliding door. We added the enclosed insulation and then used shiny duct tape from top to bottom and boy does that look nice! Now we had to think about security! So a bar was added on the outside of the working door inside the frame where the slider top slides. Add duct tape was added to secure it from falling if the tension failed.If I am able to edit this after submission, I will include pics!

I bought this one because it was a lower price than the brown thinking, I'll just paint if it looks too cheap. Turns out it has a nice finish, was super easy to install and works perfectly. I'm babysitting 3 cats for a couple weeks and wanted them to be able to on the patio without letting all the a/c out. Stick to your guns and don't tape the door up like others suggested. I put on of the soft toys partially opening the magentic door a few times and a in less than a day 2 cats had completely figured it out and on the second day all 3 three cats figured it out. It comes with a decent sized length of foam tape for any gap due to door styles. I added more foam gap tape ($4 at walmart or likely amazon too) and no air is escaping.
