Ideal Pet Products Aluminum Pet Patio Door, Adjustable Height 77-5/8" to 80-3/8", 10-1/2" x 15" Flap Size, White

Very happy with this product. I used to have a similar balcony pet door for my cat, made by Petsafe. However, now I have a puppy that will not fit through, and that one also was not adjustable for my new balcony, so I tried this out. It was more expensive, but the quality was also much better. The flap has a magnetic seal, so that it isn't left open after use. Instead of acrylic or plastic for the window portion, it is glass. The aluminum frame appears durable, and was easy to install. Someone complained about the gap when you close the balcony door on it, however, I don't find this to be a big deal... they provide an insulation strip (which isn't great, but hey, it's free), and the gap is tiny if you adjust it properly (like 1-2mm, not enough for bugs to be a problem). As for the complaint about it making the balcony door unlockable, you will have that problem with any of these patio door pet doors, and it's an easy fix.. just get a balcony door stick lock, or cut a small pc of plywood to fit. Also, I got the large size and the opening is high for my basset hound puppy. I took the other reviewer's advice (the one with corgis), and took out the bottom slat, put it above the door opening pc... all you need is a screwdriver and about 20 min time. My puppy is happily using his gate now, with no problems.UPDATE: Been a few months now, and I'm still really satisfied with this product. I am now using it in conjunction with a Regalo extra wide play yard fence / gate (bent in an arc around the balcony door) and the DoggieLawn/Fresh Patch hydroponic grass products (outside on the balcony, so he can pee and poop on his own terms). Add a Petsafe auto feeder and an iPhone app baby monitor, and he's totally got an independent space while I'm away at work. He has his bedding area and full free access to the outside, where the grass products are, and he can pee and poop to his heart's delight, or just go out and look at trees and birds from the balcony. No accidents lately at all, and he uses the balcony door happily on his own (I still reward him if I see him use the grass boxes for elimination). I would not consider him fully housetrained, as he is just a 12 mo old Basset Hound, but he is well on his way.... pretty good for a breed that is very hard to housetrain. These products (and Nature's Miracle) were lifesavers, because he used to have accidents all the time and escape his homemade enclosure. Now, I go to work worry-free and can watch him on my iPhone from anywhere (the app is called the Cloud Baby Monitor). No more 2 and 3AM trips every 2 hrs at night, down 2 flights of stairs in my condo complex; when I'm away or asleep, my puppy can do his business on his own schedule. Eventually, I am hoping to expand and then get rid of the gated area, once I am satisfied he is trustworthy around the house, and I'm hoping he will just use the balcony door or signal me at the front door with the dog potty bells. Attaching photos of the whole setup (the last is a screenshot of what I see on the baby monitor iPhone app).NEW UPDATE: it is now 15 months since I have bought this… My dog is now a full-grown basset hound. He is still not house-trustworthy and must stay in the enclosure when I leave the house. The enclosure is pretty much like a deluxe dog kennel that allows him access to the balcony potty spot. I still love this dog door – best money I ever spent. In fact, I am probably going to buy a second one to install at my boyfriends townhouse for him, since we go there on the weekends. The flap has gotten a tiny bit discolored over time but still has not gotten permanently bent, and the magnetic closure still works well.

We no longer need to get up every 15 seconds to open the door for the dog. Install was super easy. Due to house selling over 20 years (most settle in 2), there were some gaps. Nothing a little extra sealing tape (white sealing type included) couldn't fix. We remove ours each night, as we didn't want permanent install.

The media could not be loaded. Works great with a few tweaks. As other reviewers with small/short dogs mentioned, I had to adjust the height of the doggy door. I removed the doggy door, took out the side screws in the panel on the base of the door and moved it to the top of the door to lower the bottom height and then reinserted the doggy door. This leaves one panel below the doggy door opening and 2 above now. Perfect for my mini daschund puppy to go in and out of.So apparently I have a deep framed sliding door and didn’t realize. I had to take a saw and cut 1-2” off of the top adjustable panel to get it in the frame. Having a deeper door frame, this panel is much thinner and is easy to jar and fall backwards in the sliding door frame letting air in from the outside (also because I have a 2 y/o that thinks it’s fun to use the dogs door 😂). I just know to be careful opening my sliding door going in and out and to quickly fix this just loosen tension knobs, pull door panel forward into the frame, tighten back up and keep on going. No biggie.There is a very slight crack between the door and weather stripping at the bottom where it doesn’t line up 100%, but this doesn’t seem to let very much air in/out. The white weather stripping is definitely needed where the sliding door opens and meets to block wind flow from outside.I had to remove our sliding door lock latch from the frame to allow the door to slide over more and line up better.This has been perfect for a removable option for our rental and also for our puppy’s potty training! Definitely recommend!

This door was a game changer for our new Golden puppy. Potty training was difficult as she would have an accident by the back door. She knew the concept, but didn’t know yet how to tell me. Working from home, there were times I could not watch her every second. Now, she can go out whenever she wants or needs to. She has not had an accident in the house since getting this door. And I am not having to get up from my work to let her in and out, in and out.The quality is excellent. Very solid and strong. No screwing anything in so it’s removable very easy. I did have to take off the top panel to fit in my door but that was a piece of cake. The flap is made very well and the magnified strip keeps it in place every time she comes in and out.I highly recommend this door. Exceptional quality.

So you’ve got a door to your home and you want to let pets out?If you buy this you have 4 surfaces that don’t seal. The weatherstripping is thin and useless. Especially at the top where there’s nothing to adhere to. So in my case the 113 degree air is leaking into my house at 4pm.So the door doesn’t lock either. You have to put a piece of wood in the door.Also because the door has no way to seal it also has no way to stay straight up and down.So even if you get the door lined up on the bottom the spacing at the top is open.This is absolute nonsense. I waited a week for this garbage.To fix it, I’d have to buy spray foam insulation, weatherstripping, screws and door locks, vinyl sheeting to create a new door jamb so the door goes into it. And it would look terrible because the locks wouldn’t even allow the strips to go all the way down. Or I could do the trashy piece of wood lock.What a joke.

this was a very well made door. I miss measured the door. I did not take into consideration that I would need the door to be go short enough to fit over the ledge of the door into the tracks. I my door inside the tracks measured 78" the door itself goes down to 77 5/8", I did not consider the height of the ledge of the track. missed it by 1/2 inch.
