Dog Mate Medium Dog Door for Medium Dogs, Self-lining to 50mm, White

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!!

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.

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.

An exceptional buy at a really good price. Love that the door is a hard plastic that won't warp and curve out of shape after a few months use by the dogs. Because it is a hard plastic door it is easy to wash clean after the dogs get it dirty. Try washing the traditional pet door that is soft plastic and you will see what I mean. It seals really well and the door action is very smooth and quite. The locking mechanism works well too. If you are looking for a really good pet door this is it. Look no further. It's one third the cost of other pet doors from big box stores. Installation is simple. Just follow the directions. A five year old could do this. My dogs love it, I love it. I have purchased many pet doors over the years, and I have got to say this is by far the best yet. It even arrived by the carrier on a Sunday. Imagine that. I was impressed. Thank you to this vendor. You were on it and delivered as promised.

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!

This is a good dog door once installed. I would give the final product 5 stars. However, the installation experience with this was horrible, and if I were to base my rating on that, I would have given it 1 star. I gave it the average of those two numbers, 3 stars. Here are my gripes about the installation and instructions: - Other Pet Mate products I've installed had template that you could tape to the door, trace around, then cut out. For this door, they want you to tape one of the plastic pieces to the door, trace the inside, then add some padding to that. Not that big of a deal, but would have been way easier with a template. - They require that you cut the bolts to fit your door. They should have included bolts for a standard door, and then also longer bolts that could be cut to size if needed. After cutting the bolts, unless you have a tool that cuts them extremely clean, it gets pretty tough to thread the nut onto the bolt. I had to go purchase more bolts from the hardware store because of this. - Getting the plastic liners to fit in between the two plastic pieces through the door is tough to do for one person, since there isn't really anything holding everything together at that point of the install. I had to have my wife come help hold everything together. Could have been designed better. - You need to pay attention to which side you insert the nuts and bolts. One side of the plastic is molded in a hexagon shape so that the nut will hold in place when screwing in the bolt. I didn't see this at first, and it was (obviously) tough to screw it in backwards. A note about this in the instructions would have been nice. - They provide you with inserts to cover the holes for the nuts and bolts, however they are a VERY tight fit, and I actually had to cut two of them down just so that they would fit into the holes. Anyways, after finally getting everything installed, the door works well. Sometimes it won't come to a close after my dog goes through it, but I think that it will get better as it wears a little.

Very durable and usable. My dog took a couple days to get used to it but that's normal. No I feel so much more secure. Not having to leave the door open all the time for him to go in and out.

Great dog door. Rigid flap seals opening well. Had for six months with no signs of wear or seal loss. Puppy got it in 5 minutes with me on outside and wife on inside giving cheese chunks as incentive.

Nos encanta la puerta para el perro. Dudamos mucho por las medidas, pero va genial para mi perro de tamaño medio-grande (55 cm del suelo a la espalda). Al principio le daba miedo porque hace ruido al cerrarse, pero una vez se ha acostumbrado (un par de meses) no para de entrar y salir, incluso de forma brusca, y la puerta aguanta perfectamente. La tapa no parece muy segura, pero como la puerta es pequeña no nos preocupa que pueda entrar algún ladrón por el agujero. Casi ni la usamos. En invierno no es 100% aislante, pero cumple su función ya que no hay que tener la puerta abierta y el perro puede entrar y salir cuando quiere.

So I would 100% recommend this product. I've had in for several months and my dog uses it multiple times a day. However you should be aware; 1) runs small, my dog is a 20kg boxer and the large was the right choice for her 2) is a difficult to install, need power tools and need to cut screws to width of door, they should really include paper template to attach to door but they don't. 3) is loud the magnetic stripe that keeps in closed makes sound loud personally doesn't bother me at all but did have a family friend complain when she was visiting that she could hear it in her room at night. Included video so you could judge. 4) this one is actually a pro but is quite easy to clean and wipe mud off

Es una buena puerta, no es tan fácil de instalar en una puerta metálica, pero se puede y queda bien, no es tan grande, para mi perrita mediana es apenas suficiente para entrar y salir cómodamente, el cerrojo es de plástico y en una de esas lo mordió y ya no se fija bien asi que ese no es tan practico

Il prodotto è buono.in abs resinato. Sembra di qualità. Consigliato 😊

Einbau halt variabel. Klappe ist in Ordnung. Und jeder wie er es mag. Bin sehr zufrieden.
