Exceptional Doggie Door

I have had this dog door installed for about a month now and I couldn’t be more impressed. The build quality is exceptional. I have had PetSafe doggie doors before, both standard and extreme and this one is on a completely different level. I know it’s expensive at $300, but it is well worth it based on build quality, looks, and most importantly the seal. My dog door faces due north. This weekend brought weather in the 10’s-20’s with winds over 30mph and standing on the inside of the door there wasn’t a draft. The PetSafe Extreme doggie door that I had previously would flap in the breeze with winds like that, but this one’s magnets held it completely tight with not a bit of a draft. I was so impressed.

The only thing that takes some getting used to is the snap of the magnets when my dogs go out the door. It is a sharp snap, not the sound of flapping plastic, due to the way it closes. That is completely acceptable from me due to the fantastic seal. If you have any concerns with energy efficiency of your pet door or drafts from wind blowing in, buy this door. It is well worth the money.

This doggie door even looks professionally done and well built. It doesn’t look like a cheap piece of plastic stuffed in a hole cut in your door. It looks intentionally put together, and the smoked plexiglass for a door lock insert is a very nice touch. I will update this review if the thing doesn’t last (I’ve only used it for a month with two 25lb. dogs), but I firmly expect it to last for years based on the build quality that I can see.
