Baboni Metal Closing Panel Pet Door Cover (Small) - Only for Baboni Small Pet Door

1- outside, closed2- inside, open3- between inside and outside wall. Door B slides into door A all the way around. Unless I got those backwards… going by memory now. read the directions.A little about myself. I am a 59-year-old widow who always had a husband that did everything around the house.Other than hang a few pictures and paint a few walls, I’ve really not done any DIY projects before.The doggie door was quite an expense to have it installed so I decided to give it a try myself. I had quite a learning experience. I had the right attitude going in. I didn’t rush myself. I watched many YouTube videos that said it took an hour or an hour and a half. When I got to a point where I was stuck or didn’t want to continue any further. I just stopped and waited for later.. I didn’t put a time limit on this project. I took about 5 hours, including rereading and rewatching videos over 2 days to complete this install. No swearing or upsets occurred during this task 😁I watch several different YouTube videos. They all had different points of view and good tips to each one. As I knew nothing about electricity, and how to find power cords behind the wall, I definitely was very careful when it came to cutting. Again, watching YouTube videos to determine which direction power cords were going was very helpful.I also made sure I had the right tools. I spared no expense as I realized I’m going to be doing a lot of DYII projects in the future. I used spray foam halfway through the install to seal the outside half from the inside of the wall prior to putting the inside door last. Yes I did this backwards. It happened to fit better that way this time. What was fortunate was I sprayed just enough spray foam to seal the back/outside door that it went just to the outside and filled the gaps between the vinyl and the doggie door just enough that you can feel it but not see it. That was quite by accident. I didn’t know I had sprayed enough to go outside, but so pleased that I can feel it with my fingertips and not see it .Then sprayed a bit more foam to seal the gap on the front side. Made a bit of a mess. Used Goo Gone to clean the sticky up.This is a quality door, the flaps fit perfectly into the metal framed. The magnetic strips create a good seal to keep unwanted rodents out. Not so strong that smaller dogs can’t get out. The sliding panel has a manual latch that must be used to catch and release the panels so the animals are unable to open the door without assistance. It can be locked in the open position while still in the panel slide position. This way the panel isn’t on the floor, leaning against the wall or separated and keeps it getting lost or separated from the rest of the door.It can be cleaned with soap and water, bathroom or kitchen spray cleaner. Easy to keep clean. Comes with one panel. Can purchase a second one separately. Price depends on the size of your doggie door.Measure several times, cut once.

I like the ease of installation for this door. And the metal closing panel is great for when I want to limit my dogs access to the yard. My dog's learned to use this door very quickly. However, I was disappointed that an optional extension is not offered for this door. I did not know until I opened up the wall to install this door that my wall was thicker than normal. So now I am left with a gap between the inside of the door and the outside. I searched for an extension for this Baboni door and was surprised that there isn't one. Which means it is costing me money to have a custom metal sleeve made to fill that gap. For the future, I would hope that Baboni makes an extension sleeve that can be purchased separately for those of us with thicker walls.
