BarksBar Large Plastic Dog Door with Aluminum Lining and Soft Vinyl Flap, 2-Way Security Locking Slide Panel, Telescoping Frame - Large 10.5 by 15 inches Flap Size, White

Pros:VERY reasonably priced, especially when compared to others on the marketLooks very niceFeels very sturdyTemplate was spot on, installation instructions were a breeze, and fit was perfectInstalled 2 of these dog doors, on 2 house doors, both being used by a 60 lb dogCons:Don't have any yet, however as of today (2/21/17), the door has been in use for 24 hours. So, the reason I can't give this 5 stars:I can't vouch for the durability of the product, as it hasn't been exposed to the elements at all yet, and it's only been in use for 24 hours, so I can't say for sure how durable it is.Also, and this is very minor, one of the doors had a bent corner when we took it out of the packaging (not the plastic, but the metal glued to the plastic, which is a very nice aesthetic touch btw). This in no way is a major item at all, but wanted to mention it, in case the founder/owner of the company wanted to improve the packaging process at all; and the metal corner is very sharp. I have included 2 pics of the bent corner. Simple fix, just bent it back into place and a couple drops of crazy glue under the metal worked like a charm.Here's what I can say definitely: Looks great installed, feels very sturdy, 6 screws line up perfectly if you follow the instructions, love the magnetic plastic door, the locking insert fits like a dream as well, and our 12 year old dog is already using them with no problem. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone, just on the price alone. However, the price is only one of the many great factors about this product. Thank you for a quality product at an unbelievably great price.2/17/18 - UPDATE: These doors have been in use over a year now. 2 dogs, one 65 pounds, and a very hyper 105 pound lab use these many times per day, and the 105 lb lab crashes through them constantly. They hold up great to wear and tear, however both of the plastic flaps did tear after a year (one door to outside, and one from house to garage). I live in CO, and the winters are tough, as well as the abuse put in by the big lab. Great thing is, replacement flaps are only $10 a piece (when available), and are simple to remove old, and install new. Literally will take 5 mins. I also got to personally speak to one of the founders of Barks Bar via email, and I can tell you, if they had a 10 star rating, I would give this product and this company 10 stars. It's very rare to find customer service like I found with them, and want to personally say thank you. Actually increasing my star rating from 4 to 5.

BELIEVE THE REVIEWS. Great dog door. Love that the template is cardboard so it was easy to trace. After cutting, the allowances were perfect. The door fit with just enough room to adjust it a bit. It was going on an exterior door with raised panels so we used weather stripping and caulk on the exterior to be sure it was sealed around and in the "insets" from the raised panels. (There are some YouTube videos on this if you are not sure what I am talking about.) Super easy to install (once the hole was cut in the door - not the doggie door's fault). The metal strip at the bottom keeps the flap down but is not so tough that our cat can't push it open. Sure does cut down on opening/closing the back door - especially with the 105 degree Texas heat. THAT is the best part. And, I can put my hand near it and I do not feel heat "rushing in" so I think it is pretty insulated (do understand that it is not 100% sealed each time the dogs go through as the sides sometimes leave a bit of a crack, but I just touch it with my foot and it adjusts itself so little air comes around the edges). Our cat goes in/out at night instead of waking us up and our Corgi's have no problem using it frequently. Short animals means we installed in as close to the bottom of the door as recommended - 3 inches. Our Yorkie Poo COULD get through it, but she is such a diva that she won't. So, I just lift the flap and she hops right though. (I am trained well). My mom has 2 dog doors and this seems much better than either one she has. I will update if, over time, it wears out; however, for now I am 1005 pleased with this product AND with the price I paid - especially considering the ones at the local big box stores are at least twice as much.

I purchased the BarksBar Large Plastic Doggy Door for my 8 month old pup that weighs 20.1 pounds. I installed it in an exterior door of a mobile home. I am handy around the house but by no means a carpenter. This is my first pet door purchase and installation and this review is based on this product alone since I have nothing to compare it too.I removed the door as recommended and placed it on sawhorses. I then used a tape measure to find the horizontal center of the door. I taped the included template on the door where I wanted the doggy door and outlined it with a marker. I drilled 4 -1/8 inch pilot holes in the 4 corners of the marked area, then drilled them out with a 3/8 inch bit. I used a jig saw to cut out the remaining area I had marked, basically connecting the 4 drill holes.Installing the inside and outside parts of the doggy door is done using the 6 included metal screws. Next I reinstalled the exterior door and the job is complete. With me doing the install alone the entire process took around 45 minutes and I work slow.I gave this product 5 stars for the following reasons.- It was very reasonably priced- Even though its plastic it appears to be of good quality.- Good fit and finish.- Fast and Easy install.- Its exactly as Advertised."Issy" has been using the door for about 5 days and she loves it. I would have to really be nitpicking to find something wrong with this Doggy door. Hope this info helps.
