Reply to Doggie door recs by mellercopter
I used the PetSafe extreme weather door for years at my old place. It worked pretty well, but I did have a couple of problems.
-
When it got SUPER COLD, the flaps would go rigid and wouldn’t always catch on the magnets to seal back up. I would always make it a point to occasionally double check the flaps while I was home, or at night before bed.
-
As the flaps aged (3ish years) they began to curl in leaving air gaps at the edges. I forget how much replacement flaps were, but I’m thinking they were like $75, and the door was probably over $100.
At my new place I have just the standard PetSafe door because I needed it that day and couldn’t wait for an order to come through. It’s attached to my occasionally heated wood shop, but that thing is worthless in the cold. Would have been better just cutting a hole in the wall because it would have saved me $70.

Replaced our two oil boilers with an autoloading pellet boiler on 2 zones 3 years ago. Best decision ever.
