PetSafe Extreme Weather Aluminum Pet Door - Energy-Saving Thermal Barrier Pet Flap with Slide-in Door Locking & Secure Flap Cover - for Dogs Up to 100 Lb - Large

This version of the pet door is made really well and keeps the cold out much better with three flaps. The only issue I had was that the door I previously had with one flap (same brand) was larger. You would think there would be continuity within the brand, but I got it anyway because of it's quality and low price compared to other brands. I ended up cutting a three-foot wooden measuring stick into pieces to fill the gaps and nailed them in, which worked perfectly. Another thing to think about is that the cover for this dog door slides up and down on a track (which I like better) instead of the one flap cover that you push on and pull off. If I wanted to keep my dogs outside for any reason they could just push through the door cover. The only caveat about the three flap cover though is that if you have blinds that are set inside a door window (and have a frame) the dog door cover will hit the frame if you don't ease it off every time.

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.

Was quite a pain to get installed in the same placement as our old door of the same size from the same manufacturer but not the 3 layer. Had to drill some holes on the sides of the hole in my door. love the more sturdy construction! The edges curve to go flush with the door, the screws are metal (comes with plastic ones too but I hated them in the old one so opted for the sturdier seeming metal), the 3 layers all work well and seem to insulate more effectively while still being functional for my dogs. My 2 30 lb dogs almost immediately got used to the change, My 10 lb dog was definitely more hesitant and still sometimes just barks on the outside of it as if he can’t get through, but he can and is fine lol The cover/closure is so much more functional than the old snap on covers! Love the slide! I can take it off with just a slight tug and lift which would have come in handy after I got hand surgery before the replacement and had a heck of a time getting the old one off lol Overall, sooo happy with this!

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.

Great Product For one we bought was plastic and would not work for us . We order this aluminum One and it’s perfect. Easy install if you have the cutout

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 is our third petsafe door. All have lasted many years. We only need a new one because we moved. No complaints. My 12 pound cat up to my 80 pound Doodle all used it with ease!! Kept out the wind and snow when we were in Montana. Keeps out the dust and bugs in Arizona.

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

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.

Perfect size for our standard poodles. Was way more fiddly to install than the other single door one but we managed. It doesn’t stay closed in very strong winds so we’re a bit disappointed with that but still better than the single door. The dogs use it happily as they were used to the other one that is in the flyscreen door now. We are happy with it.

This is a great product and we no longer have to keep opening and closing doors for our pets to go outside. The insulating layer in the middle works really well to keep out the heat in the summer. The magnetic latch is also strong enough to always keep the flap closed not matter the weather.
