Review: EXCELLENT PRODUCT BUT PLEASE READ MY FITTING ADVICE IF YOU HAVE A UPVC DOOR - IMPORTANT FITTING TIPS TO FOLLOW. Was a bit unsure what size to order, I have a Boxer dog and she's very lively, clumsy and daft as armpits but was worried if a bought a large flap it might present as security risk. After a bit of tempting (standing outside with a chicken leg) she eventually came thru it, I immediately went indoors (with chicken leg) but she was reluctant to come back in. After studying it for a few mins I realized that the outside step was a few inches lower than the kitchen floor so I placed a paving slab on the doorstep and bingo she came in straight away. She now uses it with ease and it makes me smile watching her go in and out. She's not a large boxer but has no trouble with the size, as I say I think the height is probably the most important factor. FITTING: I fitted it in to an fairly old upvc door and actually overlapped a catflap fitted by previous house owner. Warning, old upvc is very brittle so if you are jigsawing it out make sure you use the finest toothed blade you have and set it on a slow speed, I had a couple of bits breakout but fortunately the wide frame has covered them ok. IMPORTANT you get 4 long plastic bolts to hold the 2 halves together, use a manual screwdriver (I used my small power driver and even being careful snapped one bolt, Petsafe bless them posted me a replacement foc) and DONT do them up tight, just barely finger tight will do as they expand & contract with temp and I have had one break after 2 weeks. There are no sealing gaskets round the frame but as it was a lovely snug fit I thought ok no problem, wrong, as soon as we had some heavy rain it leaked water on to kitchen floor. Took it back off and ran a bead of silicone around all areas and refitted and perfect now. Don't make my mistake, put a decent bead around it when you first install then you'll have no problem and wont have to faff around with the plastic bolts. QUALITY: seems well made and magnetic strip keeps it closed in all but the strongest winds and it comes with a very nice slide on cover that locks in to place if you want to shut it off at night or if weathers really ghastly. I believe the soft plastic flap is replaceable if it ever wears out so all in all I would thoroughly recommend this product. **UPDATE** 30/11/2015: Am still loving this flap but as I live on an Island now the strong winds have started I have found that the flap will blow open and let an unwelcome draught in to the house. I contacted PetSafe (0800 046 14 14) for advice and their friendly & helpful customer service team suggested that I should fit an additional plastic flap (the same as the original one, undo the four silver screws at the top of the flap and slip in) as this will make it a bit heavier and should help. Ordered it from them over the phone for £11 very straightforward. Review: Best Flap a man could ask for! - Amazing dog flap! Easy install and the dogs love it!

Great product and always safe with PetSafe! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good door - but disagree with "For doors from 9.5 mm up to 50 mm thick" *by R***F on 7 September 2013* The cat flap seems excellent; it's well constructed and quiet. However, our (wooden) door is 10mm thick. The entire cat flap assembly consists of two metal parts (each a panel to sit flush with the door and a short "tunnel" going through the door). The two "tunnels" slot into each other. When slotted together, the gap between the insides of the two panels is about 25mm. If the door is thicker than this (presumably up to the length of the supplied screws), I'd imagine there's no problem. However, if you have a 10mm door, there's 15mm worth of gap, so there would be hard edges and the whole thing wouldn't stay in one place. Unless the suppliers expect you to cut the aluminium down (which I doubt given the position of the serial number, and the likely sharp edges it would produce), or I've missed some feature, I don't think the Amazon description of "for doors from 9.5mm" is correct. We got round this by using some 18mm-thick wood (an old shelf), cut to a rectangle the size of the outer edge of the flap (about 200x300mm), with a 150x245mm hole in the middle the size of the "tunnel", plus 7mm holes for the cat flap's screws to go through; this then adds to the "sandwich" so instead of panel/door/panel, we have panel/door/extra wood/panel, and this works fine (and looks OK). So: be prepared for some woodwork if you have a thin door! ## Frequently Bought Together - (Staywell) Aluminium Heavy Duty Pet Door (Medium)(White) (620EFS) - Ideal Pet Products Aluminum Sash Window Pet Door, Adjustable to Fit Window Widths from 33" to 38", Medium 7” x 11-1/4” Flap Size - PetSafe Original Replacement Flap – Made of Non-Toxic Material – Based in Knoxville, TN – US-Based Customer Care – 1-Year Comprehensive Protection Plan – Innovating Pet Tech Since 1991 - Size Small --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/47919242-aluminium-pet-door-durable-frame-weather-resistant-seal-easy-diy](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/47919242-aluminium-pet-door-durable-frame-weather-resistant-seal-easy-diy) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
