The media could not be loaded.  Pros:Easy to install. Abt 15-20 mins and no tools neededSnug secure and stable fitQuality materials (except the flap)Easy to useLooks greatCons:$$$$Single panedWeather stripping could be thickerFlap design—magnets are weak and the second part separates so if the animal backtrack, his leg will get stuck. I’m going to either add stronger magnets or add a piece of weather stripping around the bottom to stop the swing of the magnetic flap.Directions are very poor— you need to scan a QR code and steps are missing. You need to install the dog door to the bottom of the frame and you may need to wiggle and play around with position to get the door to fit properly with your slider.I’m going to find a solution for the flap and also bc my dog thinks it’s a chew toy. I’m also going to get a piece of strip to cover the small gaps. To be fair, I installed mine then flipped it in opposite direction to discourage my dog from chewing the flat. It fits more flush the correct way and before I sandwiched the strip to the frame (see first pics w less gaps)It comes with a c clamp that you can place at the bottom of the slider to keep it from opening. I’m on the top floor of a high rise so security isn’t an issue for me but I would be cautious of using this on a ground floor since there is nothing to secure the pet door to the frame and it’s easy to remove.I definitely think it’s a little more expensive than necessary for a fraction of single paned door.Update: it comes with four washers. If you use the washers on the breakaway part of the U flap, it tightens the flap making it harder to come off and better contact with the magnet. Adding a star bc now his leg doesn’t get caught.

Just had a new vinyl sliding patio door installed and with the design of it, I needed a 74.25 inch tall sliding pet door so my cats can enter and exit our three seasons room on their own.There are few manufacturers of vinyl sliding patio pet doors which I think contributes to the high price, but you do have to get a pet door that is made for vinyl doors because the tracks are different than those of aluminum doors.The Dragon sliding glass pet door doesn't fit flush on either the right side where it meets the frame nor the left side where it meets the door when it is closed. Don't know why that is, but it was the same thing with my old aluminum sliding patio door for which I had an Ideal Pet sliding glass pet door. This one comes with a roll of black foam insulation which you can put on the side of the Dragon where it meets the door trim. Now for the left side where it meets your sliding patio door, when that is closed, I used a Suptikes door draft stopper which has an adhesive strip. Got this on Amazon and have used the Subtikes successfully on numerous doors in my house, such as with closet doors that have gaps at the bottom or the sides and let cold air in to your room in the winter.So far I don't feel any cold air coming into my kitchen from the unheated sunroom but it's only early fall and outside it's in the 50s, plus I've installed this on a sunny day so the outside temperature in my sunroom is close to 60. As we get into winter a little more insulation around the door might be needed.A good number of reviews for this product mentioned the double flap system ends up getting their dog's leg stuck. I did a online chat via the Dragon website before ordering this to make sure it indeed is a single flap door, as stated on the Amazon page, rather than a double flap door. I was told if the item page says single flap, then you'll be sent a single flap door. And that's what I got. The magnets seem to work well I don't feel any air coming in around the flap. Two out of three of my cats adapted to this new door within a couple hours. Cat number three has it under observation at this point and I'm sure he'll be using it soon. First time I got a pet door I took out the plastic flap by unscrewing the screws and I temporarily replaced it with a piece of bubble wrap cut to size. This was helpful getting my cats comfortable with using it, they can easily swipe at bubble wrap and get in and out. After a few days I transitioned to the flap that came with the product and all was well.

This doggie door that I purchased is top-quality. It is easy to install, fits perfectly and it's solid and made with quality materials. Be sure to do your research so that you buy a door that pairs well with your slider. This one seems like a custom doggie door and fits perfectly with my thick vinyl slider,1.5 inch track and 80 inches in height. The spring loaded insert is very easy to adjust with two small fasteners that twist to hold the panel in place at the height that fits my door. I highly recommend this product.

After having for a couple weeks, Small flap is in 2 pieces with lots of magnets, makes opening even smaller and difficult for one of my dogs.. She will not go through unless I push her through. A better design would be just one flap like most dog doors. Don't know if you could retrofit with someone elses flap for hesitant dogs. Panel is easy to install in vinyl door, and secure.

We've tried several pet doors but this was, by far, the highest quality and best one. Very happy with it. Easy to install. Tight seal. 100% would recommend
