Energy Efficient Dog Door for Door - Small Dog Door Installs Into Exterior Door
Customer Ratings: 5 stars

Once I installed this door, it took a few days for my dogs to get used to the fact that the door was not clear. Once they did, they had no issues using it. It has been very windy here in Dallas, and cold (for us). Even with that, I can stand next to the dog door and I can't even feel the cold. In the past, the old plastic dog door would get cold, it would harden, get stuck, and cold air would just pour in to my house, with this door, no longer! I highly recommend this door.

I purchased this door for my two 10-lbs Chihuahuas. I hired someone to install it, since I wanted it to go through the wall of our home onto the deck outside. I spoke with Brian at FreedomPetPass and he was very patient and answered all of my questions. After our phone call, I ordered the door and it was at my house three days later. Once it was installed, my two 10-pound Chihuahuas were a little skeptical at first, but within two days they seemed to warm up to it. They were already trained to use a doggy door, but the door they used was transparent, so I was a little concerned. I adjusted it to make it slightly easier for them to go in and out at first, but I put it back to full strength and they didn't even notice! They use their new door with no problem, and I am happy because the wind no longer blows the door open. What a wonderful product! Thank you so much.

I really like the collar and design---however it will not stay adjusted to the proper size for my dog's neck and he slips out of it and takes off after other dogs.I do not recommend this collar unless you have a large size dog.

I bought this for my shiba inu in a medium and it seems to be running a bit too large. The problem that I have with it is that it slips around and no matter how many times I tighten it the darn thing keeps going back to the original spot. When I put her leash on she is able to pull right out of the collar.

This was the tallest gate I could find, it's metal, so it's really heavy-duty, it has a door, so no more stepping over and it has a cat-door. This gate has everything you need if you own a big dog and cat it's such a relief! It solved all our problems with one gate and the cat-door was a clever bonus.

My only concern is that if you brace the gate in the doorway with tension as tightly as you'd like, the door won't open basically the tension pinches the gate sides against the person-door and I don't really see a way around that, design-wise. So our gate is in place with a little less tension than we would like since it's meant to keep a big dog contained, but they do provide you with holders that you would have to screw into the doorways to hold the gate in place, which we plan on doing if our dog figures out that she could probably get the gate out of the doorway if she put in a little effort.

It also comes with an extension for wider doorways, which we didn't need think you can buy a height extender, for extra big dogs as well. Another note is that there's a bar across the bottom, so you need to step over that, which I don't consider to be an issue. Lastly, I like the gate latch in that it has a little spring-lock mechanism which is kind of nice mostly we don't latch it all the way to trigger that we just shut-and-latch rather than triggering the lock the spring-lock has however, confused some of our slower friends.

Oh one more thing! This gate is not built for big people! I was surprised by how narrow the person-door is! If you look at the photo you can probably see that it's not very roomy I guess we'd need to take it down if a larger person came over...?

All things considered, I still think that this gate is the best combination of necessary elements, including price, and that there are work-arounds for its lesser-features. I'd recommend.

FINAL SUMMARY (2013):

It's pretty well built, I haven't seen anything better. We've used ours for several years in 2 houses. It still works and looks like it's new.

Cats may get their head stuck or may be able to squeeze through the bars.

Expect to make some modifications. For example, Rebecca has a pic of her mods on the product page. We only had to tape a yardstick to the bar on the door where it opens to stop our cats.

The reason for the low rating is only because of the issue with cats getting through or, rather frighteningly, getting stuck.

You can most likely make some minor changes to have a 4-star gate.

--------------------------------------------------------------

UPDATE (2008):

This morning I found one of the cats with her head stuck through the gate. She got panicky and struggled for a few seconds to escape. (This is a fully grown, typical sized house cat.) I'll have to add some extra bars or a panel to the gate to make it safe, it'll be easier than returning it and buying something else.

If you have cats, please consider some other gate.

--------------------------------------------------------------

ORIGINAL POST (2008):

I'd have given this gate 4 stars, if there had been more details in the product description.

One Way:

This gate opens in only one direction. Of course, you could install it to open in the direction of your choice.

The latching mechanism:

Refer to the product picture. On top, the red bit is a spring-loaded release that locks the lever in the closed position. The lever is the diagonal bit you see (above the part with the blue sticker). It is all plastic and works the all plastic latch. The connection between the two has worked fine so far, but looks like a weak link to me.

It can be managed with one hand. If it is fully locked, you hold back the red lock with your thumb and forefinger, while lifting the lever (free swinging) with your pinky. We just forego using the lock and so only have to lift the lever.

Installation:

Easy & fast on your own, but a second pair of hands is nice.

Without the "cups", this requires no tools and should take less time than it did to unpack the gate.

...however....

Your gonna want to use the cups (or alter the pads to be sticky), at least on the top.

Your first thought on seeing the latch may be, "uh oh.. we got a problem..".

Back to the picture.. the bottom has a solid bar all the way across, right? So the lower pads (the bits that hold the gate against in the door frame) have solid backing.

The upper pads aren't so lucky. You can't have a bar all the way across here, so the gate frame has to push against the upper pads like a spring.

Without the pressure from these pads there's a large gap at the latch.

This is by design.

As you tighten the upper pads the gap will close.

The "cups":

The cups are simply plastic receptacles that attach to the door frame with a single screw. The gate's pads then fit into the cups, which stops them from sliding around.

Like other, we found that without at least the top cups installed the gate would easily slip and could fall out of the door frame. Installing the cups was very easy with someone holding the gate in place. I expect repairing the door frame when the gate is no longer needed to be trivial. A dab of any kind of filler and a drop of paint.

Overall:

The gate works well. The cats don't even try to jump it, nor would it be likely they could get their heads stuck in it. (I *would* worry if we had kittens.)

It's a very simple, if not crude, hinge. Meaning it's likely to be reliable, but it does make some sound... think of an old garden gate squeaking open. (a tiny bit of lubricant is probably all it needs)

The majority of the gate is metal with a nice paint finish.

The tensioners for the pad are plastic or nylon. They could probably be easy to strip. Maybe tightening the top pads first would provide an idea of how tight to go since it's regulated by the latch gap.

The walk-thru gate latches with a spring loaded pin.

I just installed my new gate. First, you HAVE to screw it into the wall as you can't tighten the top without blocking the door (I accidentally snapped the handle due to pressure, thankfully the handle still works). Second,once installed it looked great until I opened the cat door and my 45lb Aussie Shepard/Spaniel mix jumped through the cat door. It was very funny as I bought the gate to keep the dogs out of the cat room. We are going to do some D-I-Y to make the cat door smaller. I would buy the gate again (I can't find anything on the market as good as this one) but I would be prepared to do some adjustments.

Honest reviews on Carlson 0941PW Extra-Tall Walk-Thru Gate with Pet Door, White

So we bought this to keep our 10 month old from tumbling down the stairs while still letting the cat pass through. When I opened the gate I was a bit surprised by the explicit warning not to use it for children (maybe it is written somewhere online but I missed it).

We use it anyway and while I wouldn't leave my child unattended with it I'm sure a child could crawl through the cat openingit serves the purpose well (the instructions also write that if used with children use the mounting hardware so the warning might be for legal reasons).

Biggest complaint is that the pressure mounting is useless so it has to be permanently affixed to the doorway.

This wouldn't be awful except that the swing gate opening is very narrow-located at the top of stairs, it is quite dangerous trying to pass through with anything (e.g. laundry basket) in your hands. Passing through with baby in arms is fine though we're a thin lot. Since the permanent mounting is a must, we're stuck with the narrow opening even when we don't need to worry about the child.

I'd buy it again only because it seems to be the only option out there.

BTWwe love this gate: The First Years All Clear Swing Gate. So much so that I'm tempted to buy another and cut my own cat hole in the middle!

This product is perfect for our home. It was easy to assemble, is sturdy and safe for our dogs and grandchildren. The height is perfect for large dogs and just the right height for people to open without having to bend over. It also has a security latch if needed so small children can not open. The "cat door" at the bottom also makes our feline very happy! The price of the gate (we bought two) is much better than any of the other gate products I researched. My husband and I would recommend this gate highly.

I have 2 older model foldable(travel) Midwest Dog Kennels/Crates with the double doors. I am unsure of the exact model since I bought them many years ago, but all the replacement trays for dogs kennels that they are selling at the my local pet stores and others available on Amazon are at least 1/2 inch too wide for my dog crates. This replacement tray for a "Cat Cage" is the only one I could find that fits my kennels perfectly. It has been a great replacement and seems more durable and stronger than the old ones thus far.

fits snuggly without rattling, which is a big plus when you have active kitties...BUT, i do wish Pro-Select had included another support midway in the tray as that's where these items fracture, and they will after a couple of years. otherwise, the cats love it and they don't wobble or rattle.

I got this for my 43lb pitbull mix (she's not as stocky as most pits) and it's fairly tight on her, but she seems to really like it. It's mostly just tight around the armpits. Super cute on her though and I think an XL would probably have been too large.

This is not a dog bed. There isn't any cushion to this item. It is a dog mat. It does have a water proof backing and a chenille type material on top. I thought I was buying a bed but what I got was a cage mat to lay on the bottom of my dogs crate. If you are looking for a bed, don't buy this item. I gave it three stars because the quality is good but the item description is deceiving.

********** I purchased this item back in 2007*************** It is November of 2011 and I am adding information to my review because of negative comments I have received which make it seem as if I could not read or did not pay attention to the product title when I purchased this item.

Back in 2007 I purchased (here is the exact title of the description that I copied from my Amazon order listed under my account) a " Precision Pet SnooZZy Sleeper Bed, Medium/Large 4000, 35" x 23", Black (Pet Supplies)" As you can see, 4 years ago it was listed as a PET BED not a MAT. I am glad the manufacturer changed the item description because it is indeed a mat, not a bed which is why I gave it three stars instead of 5. If I knew it was a MAT at the time I was looking to purchase a pet bed I would not have bought it because I was not looking for a mat. With that said, the quality of this mat is very good. So if you are looking for a mat I would definitely get this mat for your pet. I guess my review caused the manufacturer to change the name of the product which is good for all of you looking to purchase either a mat or bed for your pet. At least you won't get something you weren't looking to buy which is what happened to me back in '07.

This item is not so much a pet bed as a mat, and a small one at that. If you are considering it for a dog, before buying it, you may want to measure how much space your dog takes up when resting. For a single cat, or even two, the size is good.

The top side is a fluffy surface. The reverse is plain, with closely spaced small dots of rubberized material. To some degree, it stays in place--especially if placed on top of a non-slippery surface, such as an upholstered piece of furniture. On something slippery, it tends to buckle and/or wrinkle as the animal moves about.

DOWN SIDE: There is no real insulating layer between the pet and a surface such as a tile/concrete/other hard surface floor.

UP SIDE: This mat is easily transported. If you want to define a place for a small dog to stay when you visit friends or family, this may serve your purpose. (We used ours during obedience training classes.) It washes easily on the gentle cycle.

OTHER USES: Works as a liner for a kennel. (Use a folder towel underneath as padding for comfort.) Also useful as an easy-to-wash inside liner for a cushioned pet bed.

This is nothing more than a rectangle of black plush fabric. There are no raised edges on it to give the pet a feel of it being a "bed". I really wish they had an image of this before I bought it, but hopefully this review will prevent any of you from making the same mistake.

This would serve OK as a mat inside a pet carrier or dog house and will suit UP TO a medium size dog. It IS only $5, but whether or not that is worth it is up to you. I reckon a scrap from a fabric store would be just about as sufficient.
