Why Choose a Hard Plastic Locking Pet Door?

Many pet owners opt for soft flap doors due to their flexibility, but these tend to curl, wear down, and lose their seal over time, allowing drafts and small critters to enter. In contrast, this hard plastic pet door maintains its shape and functionality regardless of weather exposure or frequent use.

The combination of the magnetic closure and bristle seal creates a snug fit that improves energy efficiency by reducing heat loss. The locking feature is essential for controlling when your pet can go outside, which is especially useful during nighttime or when you want to prevent neighborhood animals from entering.

How to Measure Your Pet for the Perfect Fit

To ensure this pet door fits your furry friend comfortably, measure the widest part of your pet’s body and the height from the top of their shoulders to the bottom of their chest. Add 1 to 2 inches to these measurements to allow room for easy passage and growth, especially for young or growing pets.

Installation Tips

This pet door is designed for easy installation with full assembly and instructions included. It fits both solid and hollow doors; if your door is hollow, simply trim the included plastic lining to cover gaps, creating a professional, secure fit.
