The medium and large dog doors are designed for different dog sizes, with the medium door suitable for dogs up to 19 inches in shoulder height, such as spaniels and terriers, and the large door accommodating dogs up to 25 inches, like Labradors and German Shepherds. Both models feature a robust two-way locking panel for added security, a silent action with a vision panel, and a weather-proof, brush-sealed flap with magnetic closure to keep draughts and rain out. These doors can be installed in various door and wall types, providing a practical and durable option for any home. Securing the inner and outer frames of Dog Mate doors to one another enhances the door's overall stability and durability. This secure connection ensures a tight, weather-resistant seal, preventing drafts and rain from entering your home. Additionally, it provides a more secure installation, reducing the risk of the door being dislodged or damaged over time, ensuring long-lasting use for your pets. The locking security panel with locking tabs on Dog Mate doors provides an added layer of safety and control for pet owners. This feature allows you to easily secure the door when needed, preventing your pets from going outside or unwanted animals from entering your home. The locking tabs ensure the panel stays firmly in place, giving you peace of mind knowing that your home is secure and your pets are safe indoors. With a flap size of 15 by 12 inches, the Dog Mate Large Dog Door is ideal for large dogs with a shoulder height of up to 25 inches (630mm), such as Labradors and German Shepherds. It’s also suitable for cats, ensuring all your pets can move in and out with ease and comfort.

THX** A: The entire door is about 9 3/4 " H and 9 1/8"W remembering that the corners are rounded. The actual opening is about 7 3/4" H and 7 1/4"W. **Q: is it really 11+ inches wide? what is cut size of hole in door?** A: My dog is a 20 pound westie and he fits fine through it. The cut size is just a bit larger than the outside edges of the dog door. I don't think it is 11 wide but it is at least 11 tall. **Q: What is the cut out required to mount in the door?** A: Taken from the back of the box of the DOG MATE Large Dog Door:Cut Out Size:Width 318mm (12 1/2")Height 391mm (15 3/8")Overall Size:Width 366mm (14 3/8")Height 441mm (17 3/8")Hope that helps, great dog doors, had for years but my Australian Shepherd rushes out and has broken the top pivot point of the flap once, we purchased a further 2 as cheaper buying complete doors from Amazon than door flap in Australia.Kind regards, Ken **Q: Will this door fit on a screen?** A: I installed my dog door in a standard door so I cannot answer from experience. I think that this one might be to much for a screen door.

I have had mine for close to 3 years I think. It still works greats with daily use. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much better than the last one *by on Reviewed in the United States June 28, 2014* Update after about 2 years of constant use by 2 dogs and 2 cats: Still works perfectly with an excellent seal against the great outdoors. Great product!We had a flexible flap dog door for the last ten years. I hated it. It drove me up the wall trying to get it to seal. The flap invariably deformed around the edges and the cold air would whistle in. I could take it apart and use an iron on a low setting to straighten it out and get an okay seal for a while, but it only lasted a month or so and we were back to effectively having a gaping maw that ushered in cold air. The old door flap was also thin and I swear the cold radiated right through it.I bought a small cat door for my daughter that is similar to this design. It was so good at keeping the cold air and rain out that I finally decided to replace our old dog door with this one.Best thing I have ever done for keeping our house warmer and cutting down on the heating bills! What a wonderful improvement! I really can't say enough nice things about this dog door. The dogs and cats were initially reluctant to use it, because the flap was solid and sort of whomped shut, but they adapted to it after a couple of weeks.It was not difficult to put in. I installed the previous dog door too. I had to enlarge the width of the previous hole and scabbed in a piece of plywood at the top. We also used some spray foam, in the gap behind the frame, to improve the weatherproofing.If you are looking for a dog door that really keeps the cold, wind, and rain out, then I think you will find this one meets your needs. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice hard plastic flap. Not a cheap flap. *by on Reviewed in the United States September 8, 2020* I love that this door has a hard plastic flap like most cat doors. Not that cheap plastic that warps or bends that you see on most dog doors.. It was super easy to install. The only reason I gave a 4 star was because the 4 pieces they have you install in between the 2 sides didn't line up great and left gaps at the top. And also after it was installed the doors kinda warp a little and the door cover does not fit properly. These are 2 very minor things that didn't affect the overall use of the door. Very nice door and very strong magnet. I will update in a few months on how well it holds up to my 2 dogs using it. Update 9/13/25: changed to 5 star as this thing held up to 3 large dogs and 2 cats. I just replaced it today with the exact same one. Only reason for replacing was it was dirty and I wanted a cleaner one. Definitely will be buying this again!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not so easy to install, but ultimately a good pet door *by on Reviewed in the United States May 27, 2018* NOT that easy to install, AND you need a jig saw AND a hack saw (or be prepared to buy screws that are the right size for your door).It took my brother 2-1/2 hours to install this for me (with a little help from me), and he's no hack at projects. Issues: 1) the screws come way too long just in case you have a very fat door. I don't have a hack saw, so that was a big time drain. 2) There are 4 plastic inserts that fit into the sides of the inside perimeter, and these also have to be cut to the right size (you will have to do a little math here). They are of plastic and not that easy to cut. 3) While we were struggling with getting the two sides installed on the door and the screws into the holes and through to the other side and into a nut that you can't hold, we forgot to watch that these interior plastic pieces were also aligned properly. They weren't, so we had to loosen everything and get them tucked back in. You can see in the pics that these side pieces aren't a perfect fit, even if they were "tucked in" better. I don't think that's a big problem, mostly cosmetic, but an added hassle. 4) No spare parts! We dropped a tiny little nut and had difficulty finding it! 5) As others have mentioned, NO TEMPLATE. Taping the pet door to your door to trace the opening and drill holes is doable, but it's stupid! Is one more piece of paper going to break the bank? (But I'll add that it's a very decent price for this door.)I have installed dog doors myself at least two previous times, and this one was harder. Hard to do by yourself IMHO. But, once it's in and aligned, it's a good door. I like that it has a hard plastic flap, so no warping or sticking to worry about. I like that it has a slide-on locking panel, which helps with weather issues AND my pets can see when it's not open for them.My dog is still intimidated by it. Even cookies aren't coaxing her. I'm confident she'll get it, though.Bottom line? Harder to install than it needs to be, but a good door at a good price. --- ## 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/7727481-large-dog-door-for-large-dogs-robust-locking-panel-white](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7727481-large-dog-door-for-large-dogs-robust-locking-panel-white) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-10-26*
