Well I like this door because it’s easy to reinstall but it is not a durable door. I have bought 3 of this same door because I would have to have a carpenter cut a bigger whole in my wall if I get a different one. I don’t like the fact that you can’t buy the parts b/c if one part tears up you have to buy a new kit. I swore I wouldn’t buy another one after the second one tore up but I bought this one and the frame on the outside is already cracked . . .

The Ideal pet doors are not very durable. I have three large dogs (Labs and border collie) and they run in and out all day long; often crashing through the door at high speeds. At least twice a year I have to replace the flap, because it starts to tear at the top where it attaches to the pet door. I am looking to replace this door with a better door, because it’s too costly to keep buying a new flap. Also, the flap does not fit very snuggly so wind and rain constantly blow the door open. My husband, a master carpener, installed the pet door, so it was installed correctly. It’s just not the best design.

This door would probably be more appropriate for pets that are less rambunctious as mine. This door would also do better on a covered porch where there is some protection from the rain and wind. My pet door is not under a covered porch and everytime it rains, I get a huge puddle in the house.
