Having a"Pet Safe" brand door, using a flap about twice as expensive as this one I ask: who tried the Ideal Flap in the PetSafe door successfully?

WE just bought the replacement flap for our door with 2 large dogs using it daily. It was easy to replace, fit is fine. We are really happy with the replacement flap.

That's a tough question. The pet door has a magnetic strip in the bottom so when your dog goes through it, the flap, more or less, seals. We also have bug issues but we haven't seem any uptick of bugs into the house other than the ones that make it in regardless. . .

Specs are as stated in the previous two replies but I wanted to piggy back off of Michigan amazon's reply and also recommend that you do NOT purchase the door flap... very difficult to install and the dogs tend not to like it as it is not see-through. It really isn't necessary anyway with the igloo-style opening.

I have a small dog, 12 lbs. and about 3 years old. He has no problem. I also have an older cat - 13 years old and he has no problems with the flap either. This is a great product. Installation was a little bit of a challenge. I called it quality time with my husband. PS - We are still married.

Thank you for your question! This door is designed to close with magnets behind your pet which shouldn't make it easy for insects to enter. For added protection, you can always add an additional flap to the door.

Just check the measurement of the replacement flap and make sure it fits the width, it'll probably be bit smaller but not much. The length can be cut to fit. I found that the replacement doors offered at Petsmart, where I bought the original door do not fit, they are too narrow. The Pet safe flap was the correct width, length was a bit long but easily trimmed to fit. Hope this helps.

My hammy chewed through the door latch. I would like to buy a replacement door for my Cristal. Only find a door for another model on Amazon. Can anybody suggest a place to buy a full door replacement for a Cristal? Thanks!!!

Did you end up purchasing this for your saint? Is is working well? I also have a saint and am looking for a quality door big enough for him when he's full grown.

There are five screw holes. There are different styles of the PetSafe Replacement flap so you may need a Large size in one of the others - I looked on the PetSafe website to determine which style I needed to replace, then came back to Amazon and searched for that model.

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.

Hi patti, your door should have come with a panel that you can slide over the flap to seal it off from both inside and outside ,if you bought an ideal pet product door, they may have neglected to put it in the box, I have had some issues with ideal, hope this helps

My experience is with the extra large door (weather extreme). I have three dogs (110 LBS EA) and they use the door all day everyday! In my case the flaps do get worn or pushed to one side and it will create a gap. This is fixable by adjusting the small screws at top of flaps. The flaps DO create a decent seal so I guess it will depend on the amount of use the door gets. Hope this info helps!!

I just called the company (IdealPetProducts dot com). The man said that the X-Large door flaps are the same size....whether they say the width is 10 1/2" wide or 9.75". One is measuring the opening between the "fur" edges, and the other is measuring the full opening including the "fur" edges. But it's the SAME size flap. He said they cost less ordering them online than ordering from the company.

I have removed 1 of my flaps I have two of these doors I have a two story house. And they work awesome. Some dogs don't like the double flaps and some do mine did. Try it you will love them

I saw the complaints as well and was concerned so maybe being cautious--not rushing to open-- I have had no problem with the zippers on either end. They felt sturdy to me. I did fee that if the flap came down once unzipped, rather than up, you would not need to use the velcro each time to keep flap out of way when putting pet in.

Sad to say, it comes from Australia. Our replacement flap came pre-broken. Lookin g for new dog doors ourselves

We have 3 Large dogs and just completed a extreme cold spell and the flaps were stiff but have not cracked or torn yet. The pet door faces south and gets sun on it. Our dogs are younger and go through the double flaps a hundred miles an hour. Were very happy with the door if anything were to happen to it I would replace with the same one.
