I have an Ideal Pet door but I don't see a way to get to the screws that hold the flap so I can replace it. Any help?

I don't understand why you can't get to the screws. They are on the outside at the top of the flap as shown in the photo. Call the company if you need further assistance.

I don't have an Ideal system, but mine has a plastic covering that shields the top of the flap - need to tak that off, first, by accessing the screws holding the frame together.

They should be right at the top of the flap. Mine are exposed and easy to see

On my door (XL) there's a white strip across the top, both inside and out. The screws go through the strip, through the holes in the flap and into the door housing itself. Mine has 4 screws, be sure to line-up the screws through the holes in the replacement flap, else it'll rip after short use.

We just went to a big box hardware store and bought a piece of Lexan. Cut it with a chop saw, drill a few holes for the brackets and voila, a new door. I really don't know where you can find a replacement door though. Sorry.

Dear Rick So sorry to tell you this, but whatever you do, it won't work. They keep changing their sizes in this company. Go to the local pet store and buy this where you can measure it, and then return if it doesn't fit. We're going to have to buy a WHOLE NEW DOOR to use the one we got on line. Get my drift? This is not the best way to buy a replacement flap. You'll probably be sorry. Good luck!

You can find the flap/ door cover on Petmates web site. It is under replacement parts. With shipping it is around $10. Go to igloo dog houses and then scroll down to the kitty kat condo and you'll find it there. I ordered one a few days ago and I'm waiting for it to be delivered.

I purchased one; don't know how to get contact with the seller but I wish I could because I might need another flap in future.

Flap is as good as it gets. The gap between the pet door and the existing door need to be sealed carefully with the supplied molding and you will be pretty pleased.

Ideal sells several replacement doors, but Amazon only appears to sell one. If your old door has a rectangle around the Ideal logo and has 7 holes in the top, you have the older type frame. Contact Pet Doors at 1-800-826-2871. Web site is petdoors.com. They will send you the correct size for your frame.

I had an older version of the door so the replacement flap's holes for screws along the top did not align. I just drilled my own holes to fit my door. A bit inconvenient but it works great.

Hi: If you need to cut the aluminum to get the pet door into the screen I do not think it will work. The pet door separates and you need to re-attach the two halves with the screen sandwiched between the two plastic pet door halves. To secure the two halves I needed to use a hammer and gently hammer the two parts of the pet door to get them to seat together. The aluminum would be too thick to sandwich between the two halves of the pet door. I suppose you could drill holes through the pet door and secure it with small bolts with the aluminum between the two halves but the pet door must be almost perfectly attached or the middle door will not swing correctly.

My dog door only had 1 flap, and the replacement only had one flap. Actually, it's the flap that I replaced. The other piece was the plastic insert that you put in at night, and did not come with the replacement flap.

I do not have a pet door, thus I am unable to answer your question. Sorry. Nanette

You can replace the flap so it must be removable though I haven't tried to do so. My cat learned quickly with this door but the last one, made of hard plastic, was taped open during the learning process. He didn't like the hard door and did great with this soft "door" flap.

I agree with Gail with this additional info for you. The portion of the flap that fills the opening, (not counting the piece for attachment) is 15-1/4" tall X 10-3/8" wide. With another 1/2" X 10-3/8" at the top for the attachment. It is VERY easy to replace.

Hi, simply slide the door door seal exposing the heads of the screws...from there it's simple! The seal goes back into place easily.

I'm sorry, but I am not sure what the question is as it only looks like a partial sentence is showing up. Maybe it got cut off. You can go to the PetSafe website and check you door style and size for the proper number of the replacement door and then search for it on Amazon. Also, the flap that was on my original door has the replacement part number embossed on the flap itself and it matched the website and Amazon's site. Hope this helps.

There is a screw to hold the flap closed. You'll need a little screwdriver.
