5.0 out of 5 stars Pet door review, August 3, 2008

I love the Petsafe Classic Pet Door! I've bought 3 already. The dogs and I love the independence of them having in/out privileges at all times. I feel very secure with the plastic door insert whenever we go out of town. And unless the puppy chews the flap !!! it seals very well and I'm not concerned about the A/C or heat leaking out to the backyard.

The plastic screws contained in the kit work sometimes, not others. If I ever have the need to buy another door, I'll go get some #8-3 inch machine screws to use in place of the plastic ones.

4.0 out of 5 stars Economical and functional, August 28, 2008

This review is from: PetSafe Classic Pet Door, Large, Satin (Misc.)

When I bought this, I believe Amazon had surplus of discontinued products, so I got it for around $36 including shipping/handling. Hence my comment "Economical". Normally doggy door like this (size/material) costs you near $100.

This product works really well with my dogs (boxer and mutt), but the petsafe logo on the flap deposits dirt since the dogs go through it all the time.
In addition, I haven't been able to find replacement flap in case this one goes bad. Replacing the flap would also involve uninstalling the door, which is a bit of a hassle.

Overall the aluminum frame looks good and strong, but the cover is plastic which was disappointing. The frame itself is actually pretty strong and especially would work well once installed and fit into a door, but the screws are also plastic, so I had to buy metal screws myself.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solid construction- not easy for an amateur to install, February 10, 2010

This review is from: PetSafe Classic Pet Door, Large, Satin (Misc.)

I recently received and installed this doggy door into a door at my house. The pros are that it is made with quality construction over most other doors that I saw at Home Depot. I bought the aluminum satin finish dog door which is a nice brushed aluminum frame with a hard plastic door blocker. I bought this item for about $80. For $72 plus tax at Home Depot, you can get the Ideal Pets doggy door, but it is made of a plastic frame and seems to have a slightly less durable construction to them.
The only drawback to these doggy doors is that it does seem to take a bit of skill to properly install the door. I had my professional licensed carpenter install the doggy door and it took him about 45 minutes from start to finish to cut a hole in the door, make proper screw holes, and tighten, seal, the doors for a perfect finish. There are a couple of screws by design that stick out of the door, could be finished a little better by the PetSafe company, but otherwise a solid product.
