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. Review: great doors! - The doors are probably used much more in a kennel setting then they would be in a normal household. Last fall, I started to build a small kennel. It has 4 runs on each side of the building. I only finished one side (4 runs) and bought 4 of these inexpensive doors thinking they would get me by for now. Then in the spring when I finished the build and finished the other 4 runs I planned to purchase commercial grade dog doors. The original 4 have been on for over a year now and show no sign of wearing out. I have even seen pups half in and half out of the door, laying on their backs and chewing the flap. They held up so well that instead of buying the noisy expensive commercial dog doors I purchased 4 more for the other side. They are quiet and have worked well. I also love the extra light that they allow to come into the kennel. On extremely windy fall/winter days, the flaps will sometimes blow open, but when I put up a tarp on the perimeter fence ( I planned to anyway to protect the dogs from the cold winter wind) the problem was solved. They were easy to install, but to be fair, I do building projects all the time. UPDATE: 2 years later and still very happy with them! ## Features - SUITABLE FOR LARGE DOGS: Accommodates dogs up to a shoulder height of 630mm (25"), such as Labradors and German Shepherds - SECURE LOCKING PANEL: Provides added security and control over your dog's access when needed - SILENT OPERATION: Features a quiet action with a vision panel for easy use - WEATHERPROOF DESIGN: Draught-proof, brush-sealed flap with magnetic closure and rain-proof seal for optimal energy efficiency - VERSATILE INSTALLATION: Self-lining for up to 50mm (2in) thick doors and walls, compatible with UPVC, metal, and wooden surfaces ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0002AR0DS | | Best Sellers Rank | #64,411 in Pet Supplies ( See Top 100 in Pet Supplies ) #224 in Dog Doors | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,652) | | Date First Available | June 15, 2004 | | Department | Unisex-Adult | | Dog Breed Size | Large | | Frame Material | Plastic | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 3.48 pounds | | Item model number | 216W | | Manufacturer | Ani Mate Inc | | Minimum compatible thickness | 2 Inches | | Product Dimensions | 14.5 x 1.75 x 17.5 inches | | UPC | 035368902352 | | Weight Limit | 60 Pounds | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Dog Mate - **Color:** White - **Material:** Plastic - **Mattress Thickness:** 2 Inches - **Size:** Large ## Images ![Lockable Large Dog Door (216) - Flap for Large Dogs and Cats, for UPVC, Wall and Wood, Securely Designed for Your Pets, White - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61PD7aAvQDL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: (1) What are the width and height measurements of the entire door (not the opening) (2) What is the actual W & H of the opening used by the pets? 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 E***S on 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.

UPDATE: 2 years later and still very happy with them! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not so easy to install, but ultimately a good pet door *by L***T on 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? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7727481-lockable-large-dog-door-216-flap-for-large-dogs-cats](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/7727481-lockable-large-dog-door-216-flap-for-large-dogs-cats) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
