 Nice heavy duty Dog Door - As loud as a gun going offDec 05, 2007
By William Joel Hurless
"will1384"
I had a rubber dog door framed and installed in the wall of my bed room,
and after a few years it started to fall apart and water rotted the
wood around the dog door, I wanted something heavy duty that would last,
and thats what I got, the outer frame is metal, the inner door is thick
Plexiglass, the door works well, and is well made, there is one
problem, and it may not be a problem for you, its loud, not just loud,
but really really loud, hurt your ears loud, when the door shuts in the
middle of the night, when your asleep, it sounds like a gun shot, and
its a kinda like crack of the whip sound, I was able to quiet it down
a little by using strips of self adhesive weatherstripping, the weather
striping is about 1 centimeter thick,
I would not recommend this for a bedroom, or any ware a sudden loud
sound will bother you, other than that, its a great product

 heavy duty dog doorNov 03, 2008
By Susan Gibbs
"Grandma"
great product easy to install. My dog hates this door. It is heavier than most dog doors. The first time she used it it slammed shut and scared her to the point that she thinks is possessed. She will only walk through it if I hold it open. Thus negating the reson for the door. If you buy this be sure you pot foam tape or something around the edges to eliminate The loud nose it makes. unless your dog is not a wimp like mine- Sue

 Puppy ProofNov 11, 2008
By Christian M. Peterson
I used to buy the pet doors locally and all they carried were the flexible plastic ones. These would work fine, but all of them cracked and fell apart when we'd get our annual northern states week in January where the temperature drops below -30F. Like putting a rubber band in liquid nitrogen. The last straw was adopting a new puppy who managed to destroy 2 more doors with chewing.
This door is very rugged and chew-proof. Easy to install. We've yet to go through a winter with it, but metal and plexiglass should easily survive the cold. It is loud, as I've seen in other reviews, but we have a kennel attached to the barn, so noise is not an issue. If we did have a kennel attached to the house, my guess is some foam insulation would quiet it down just fine.
So far, so good.....

 Kinda scaryApr 25, 2010
By MissM2U

the old product description was accurate -- it's a "gun dog" door. if i was living in minnesota with a houseful of boisterous labs, and i had a mudroom to insulate the rest of the house, i'd probably be really happy with the durability. unfortunately, i'm in Seattle and my rescued cattle dog mix never got used to the noise when this thing would bang shut - she was terrified of the door. and it has no insulation and my living room was freezing from the wind blowing in cold weather. still working on my quest for a dog door that will keep the cold air out. this isn't it.
Your dog won't destroy it, but...Jan 30, 2012
By 3kids&adog
I bought this door because my big ol' boxer is a sis and he will not play outside. I have a door that had previously been fitted with a plastic pet door, like those available in pet stores. Mr. Wimp chewed and punched until he totally destroyed it. So began my search for an indestructable door for when I need him to be outside.
Other reviewers complain about the noise this door makes, and they are correct: it is loud. It also has some pretty stout springs that may be difficult to navigate if your dog is slow, old, timid, or puny. My dog was frightened out of his wits the first couple of times I coaxed him through and is still pretty careful with it on day two.
My beef with this door is that I could not tell by the pictures what I was actually getting. The seller was very friendly on the phone, but they did not know what it looked like either, as they don't stock the door so they never get to see it. That deficiency is what prompted me to write a review. What follows is what I wish I had known up front.
See the shiny aluminum framework in the seller's picture? (The clear area in the middle is a heavy plexiglass panel that swings the other way.)When you buy this door, you are ONLY getting a flap to screw on over the hole you cut in your door or wall or whatever. That's it. No trim of any kind for the hole. This is fine if you are using it for a gun dog kennel, but on the house where looks matter, plan to spend extra time and money trimming out your opening. The instructions that accompanied this were by no means exhaustive, so don't buy this if you aren't pretty sure you can handle what you're getting yourself into.
This door will NOT be weatherproof. There is a gap above the plexiglass flap that is substantial enough to let in quite a draft and maybe water, depending on where you put the door. I put mine on an exterior mudroom door protected by a covered patio, so it doesn't matter for me, but other buyers might want to know that!
The door itself is very heavily constructed, but only 2 little wood screws actually attach the flap to your door. I drilled holes all the way through the door and used nuts and bolts to make the attachment instead. (You will have to make allowances for counter sinking the heads if you buy the closing panel.)
All in all, this door is super sturdy and it will serve the purpose for which I purchased it for years to come. If you take the time to dress it up when you install it, it won't look too bad, either. Not attractive, just not too bad.
