Extreme Weather Dog Door for Exterior Doors - Great for Hot and Cold Climates, Energy Efficient 3 Flap Insulated System - for Large Dogs - Plastic Frame (Large)

Quality dog door, insulation is nice to have keeps cool air in on hot days. My cats also have no problem using it. Comes with a template for the cut out.

The door was pretty easy to install, as we were just replacing another PetSafe door of the same size. We did need to run to the store to get longer screws, but that may have been specific to our main door. Once installed, you can notice immediate improvement in the magnetic seal. The area by our back door was significantly less chilly. It also holds up to some fair wind, and it gets very windy where we live. Today we’re getting wind gusts of 20mph, and the door does open during those bigger gusts, and then immediately closes again with the magnet. We made the decision to close the dog door, but that’s the first time we’ve had to do that for weather since we installed it a week ago. We were doing that daily with our previous dog door. The potential savings on utility bills is worth the price of this door!

This was a replacement for PetSafe single flap screen door. It was straightforward to install and helps reduce the draft that we were getting with our previous door. My two small dogs were able to acclimate to the new door with no problem and my house isn’t fighting the cold draft as much as we did with the previous version of this door. The two exterior flaps and one center insulated flap really help to make sure that there is no air coming in.

We have the Extreme Weather XL dog door for our 85 lb Boxer and 140 lb Cane Corso. I would give it 5 stars for the first 6 months, 4 stars for the next 6 months, and 3 stars after the 1-year mark. I was impressed with the quality and fit when I received the door, the problem is it didn't hold up for long. "Extreme Weather" is misleading, at best I would say it's a 3-flap version. Due to the size of an XL large door, nothing keeps the weather out, especially on windy days. I hoped for a little more considering it's called "Extreme Weather" and was a more expensive. I'm having to replace the flaps more often, the 6-screw design helps avoid tearing where the screw holds the flap. After a year the bottom edges of the flaps began tearing evenly about two inches from the bottom (same on both flaps, inside and outside, and the left and right side). They all tore the same, it's apparent it needs someone to revisit the design and material. Other issues with the material are shrinkage and bowing of the outside flaps. The center flap, insulating flap, comes apart along both seams. The center flap is basically a piece of thin foam sandwiched between two heat sealed pieces of plastic. It doesn't appear they "designed" an XL large, weather resistant door, for large breed dogs. They just made a larger dog door based on their other models. I don't think consideration was given to the size of the dogs hitting that flap dozens of times per day, or the force of the wind on the larger door. The material looks identical to the smaller door we had and doesn't hold up to large dogs. The first time I used the large plastic cover to block it on a windy day I didn't notice the Cane Corso was still outside. Not a problem, she hit it at full puppy speed knocking the cover clear across the room, popping several of the screws out of the frame. She was very excited with her accomplishment. I can't imagine a home without a dog door. They use it night and day, sometimes just to stick their head out to check the weather. We had a large dog door until our new pup had trouble squeezing through. The large door worked very well. I saved it for the future. We replaced the flap every 2-3 years and needed to make a better attachment system due to the flaps tearing near the screws and plastic attachments breaking.

This product is great, take your time and get all your measurements correct the first time. One piece of advice get a brand new blade on your saw so its a nice clean cut. I used a white all purpose caulk for on tip of the door to keep any moisture out.

This is our second time buying this exact doggie door. We have 5 dogs, which include 2 great danes, a german shephard, a bassett hound and a terrier mix. Despite the different sizes of our dogs, this XL door has worked beautifully for them all. When we decided to replace our back door with french doors we didnt hesitate but to get this same set up again. With so many dogs we have had some issues. The flaps get dirty over time and they will eventually break away from where they are screwed in at the top. They are easily replaced and at a very reasonable cost. I did invest in a metal top bar to replace the plastic one and this $10 expense (for two bars) dramatically reduced my need to replace the flap. I only replace it now when they are getting dirty looking. They triple layers have made the winter weather a non issue for us and we live in SE Pennsylvania. I'm thrilled with this door and recommend it highly

So far this pet door seems to close well with minimal drafts, but there appears to be a defect with mine in that the tracks on the inside of the door for the cover aren't wide enough to fit it to close it. I can only close it from the outside, which isn't good for security.. not sure if I would want to bother uninstalling it and getting it replaced or trying to make my own cover for the inside out of sheet metal or something. Update: contacted customer support, they were great and are sending me a new one

I bought this product and had it installed professionally in October of 2023. It has worked well until recently. The only issues lie with the door flaps. As other reviewers have mentioned, the door usually closes after a dog goes through, but occasionally you will have to tap it back into place. That isn’t a problem for me. The real issue is that over time, apparently the tiny nuts and bolts at the top of the door flap fall out. They are so small that we didn’t notice them, and now four are missing and the flaps are off kilter making the door useless. In order to replace them, the door frame will have to be removed. I haven’t been able to find a parts option or any customer service options for Pet Safe through Amazon since the order isn’t recent. I would have given this product 4.5 starts up until this point.

Sehr gute Hundeklappe, hält gut dicht , einfacher Einbau

C'est mon deuxième (taille supérieure) Le cadre alu est beaucoup plus solide ainsi que la trappe coulissante

Simple a installer, et vraiment pour l'avoir actuellement durant l'hiver, rien à dire bien isolante. Le plus problématique c'est que parfois elle se referme un peu mal mais c'est rare et même quand elle est mal fermée, elle reste plutôt bien isolante

This is a well made sturdy door flap that works well. It was not that easy to fit because of our door style, we had to pad out around the cut out so that the flap came out enough to allow the door flap shutter to slide in from the top and secure at night. The white plastic screws in the pack seemed flimsy but in use we realised they are slightly flexible which meant it was a lot easier to line up and secure. There were also metal screws for fitting the outer panel, I do see why the other screws are plastic and the door is very secure with them. Dog loves it and is in and out all day long and we dont have to be constantly getting up and down letting him out. Im glad we went for the metal version and the thermal flap, our dog does like to dash though the flap taking his toys with him occasionally which could have been an issue for a plastic flap. We chose not to take the door off to fit which made it more difficult it was much easier with two people helping to line things up. There are adjustment screws to allow the movement of the individual flaps on both sides to make sure it closes well, ours is closing fairly well but we will probably adjust slightly to make it perfect, meantime it does keep out any drafts and no colder than it was in the room. Thumbs up from us :)

We had replaced our exterior back door and had the door company install this dog door so can't comment on the installation process but the door itself is great quality and works very well. This is the first time our dog has had a dog door and it's been a huge improvement to her quality of life. She uses it all day every day and has taken control of her outside time. It's one of the best things we've purchased. I did a lot of research before buying this door and I like that it's metal framed, insulated, and locks easily and tight. We've had it for about 4 months now and no issues at all. Every 6 weeks or so I need to adjust the flap screws to bring the door flap up a few millimeters but I expected that and it's really simple to do. The insulation layer is effective and doesn't impede the door at all. We get a bit more dirty paw prints on the floor when it's raining outside but that's just the compromise with having a dog door. Installed in winter at approx -20C and no drafts, just had a few days of +30C and no heat coming in either so really pleased overall.
