IDEAL PET PRODUCTS SINCE 1979 Doors Screen Guard Door, Extra Large, 10.5" x 15" Flap Size

I have to say if I could give this product more stars I would. I have been using the magnetic screens in my screen, nor for quite a while. I would have to replace them every two or three months, which was a pain in the rear. I also had to keep a close eye on the screens, because the magnets would eventually fall out, and I was petrified that the dogs would eat one. So I started researching how I could put a dog door in my screen door. I had actually seen this on YouTube and then went to Amazon to purchase it. Whoever invented this was ingenious. I love that there are no loose magnets for your dog to get a hold of. Seems to be very well-made and sturdy, I like that the outside portion of it is aluminum because I have Frenchie’s and my little one tends to want to chew on things, so no worry about her hurting aluminum. I had looked at the ones that just attach directly to the screen. However, I knew that within a small amount of time they would’ve had my screen ripped out of my door. So attaching it to the door grill keeps it completely in place and sturdy. It was easy to install, and I love it. There was a little bit of a learning curve for the dogs to start using a door instead of just running through the screen. 🤦‍♀️😂 but they have got the hang of it, and I have to say I am extremely pleased.

Very happy with this product. We were reluctant to use it because it was designed for a screen door with a screen guard and our door doesnt have one. It went on super easy and the screw system makes it very secure. We have a 60 lb doodle and a 6 month old doodle pup they use with great ease. Love it!!

Very easy to install. This size was great for my 70 pound Golden Doodle and my 45 pound GD Puppy. They love having the freedom of going in and out of the house to our fenced back yard.

UPDATE 5-2022….door acts the same as the 1st day installed in 2019. My German shep dog uses it at least 10 times a day (20x round trips). Great sturdiness and durability Stop looking. Buy this!With all the fake review on Amazon lately (get on that Amazon it’s annoying!!!!) I was just super skeptical of how positive people were talking about this door. If you read just one line of my review...THEY WERE RIGHT- IT’S AWESOME.I’ve been desperate to find a dog door for the backyard that requires the least amount of “damage” to my house e.g. sawing a hole through wall to install. I also didn’t want something that was ugly to look at or impeded the function of the sliding glass door, like those full length inserts that take away from the clean all glass look to outside and make the sliding door opening smaller... and they were expensive! I read practically every review, researched other like products and even delayed purchase to “think about it”. I explain all this to show I’m basically picky as sin. So much to the point that I ensured I could return before purchasing.MUST HAVE SCREEN DOOR GUARD. Def would not recommend without it. The door is of substantial weight which is great because it’s sturdy and solid, but won’t hold without the screen door guard. I’m pretty sure you can install a guard on almost any screen door.The longest part of the install was figuring where to put it. I have a German Shep mix- about 85 lbs (the extra large juuussstttt fits him- I do wish there was another size up but only outta spoiling him- he uses it just fine). Hindsight I might have put it about an inch or so lower as he has to give a little tiny minor hop from outside to inside given the little step up. Again, even where I placed it is fine- I’m just a perfectionist.There is a template you tape to the door. Cut INSIDE the template, not around. I would suggest the bottom be the most focused on making straight as the weight sits mostly and will be the best way to make sure you install the door straight. There’s a little play for marginal errors- since the door and plate have a 2” boarder that cover the hole.Depending on you screen guard you’ll need good sharp cutters- but I happened to have a dremmel tool, which took minutes to cut the hole. IF YOU DO use a dremmel tool- suggest putting a piece of wood between screen and screen guard- just to ensure you don’t chew up the screen. That way you can make a nice clean slice through with the razor. 100% Cut the guard first, then cut the screen with razor blade. Screw in a few screws and Wam-Bam- NO MORE BUGS!!! Yyyaaayyyyyyu!!!!!!!!!!I am truly honestly so stoked and happy with this product. Of course I just got it and I’m not sure the durability over 1000s of in and outs use- but as of right now I’m confident I will be very happy it will last long enough for how much it cost and for how easy it was to install. Small wins still feel good ;)

Did have to buy the metal screen cover. Installed easy hardest part was cutting the hole in metal screen guard. But grinder with cutting blad worked good! Dogs were quick to learn how to use!
