Baboni Replacement Flap for Dog and Cat Doors Including Screws, Large(10 1/8 in x 16 7/8 in)

I have two very active dogs running into the backyard from the laundry room door, so I have to replace the flap once a year or as needed. The last time I purchased the Pet Safe flap, which what was on it. It came with a plastic bar piece up inside the gap that the flap is attached to. This piece broke and is not offered for replacement??? When I installed the new Pet Safe flap without that plastic bar it hung too low. So, I took the plastic bar to Lowes and found a cubed dowel rod and screwed it in using 6-32 x 1-inch, flat head, stainless steel screws, flat washers, and nuts. Stainless steel doesn't rust. It was a huge pain trying to get everything lined up, but it worked...until the flap eventually wore out from use and I had to take it all off. Cold windy winter day, sitting on a step stool in front of the door. Not fun. I decided to try this Baboni brand, medium flap. PERFECT FIT out of the box, without having to use the dowel rod. It seals perfectly!!! I did reinforce the top of the flap using black Gorilla tape over the screw holes, making sure to poke a toothpick thru one side before folding the tape over (so I'd know where the mounting holes were) I used my same stainless steel screws, washers and nuts again instead of their tiny small screws. What are they supposed to attach to? A bar? Not sure since this isn't a Baboni door. I should Youtube it. Lol Anyway, assembly was much easier with the new Baboni flap. On the inside of the door goes a flat washer, the screw, then reach around and add the flap to the backside, (on the outside) and another flat washer, then the nut. All my hardware is stainless steel since it's exposed to outside weather. I could have used a shorter screw, maybe 3/4. But you can use a white nylon spacer before adding the nut if you use a longer screw and you can use a stainless acorn cap for weather protection too if desired. I have a kit with various lengths of screws, so there's options. I'm really thrilled with how well this flap sealed, no gaps, and the magnet hits perfect on the bottom to seal whether they are running in or out. I wiped the bottom of my door frame with rubbing alcohol to clean. I've have already ordered an extra Baboni flap as back-up for when this wears out. The PS brand flap costs $26, but the Baboni is $15 and seals much better. The same size dimensions are listed on both brands, but the four holes may be cut differently. Baboni holes are horizontal. I'll update when I replace this flap to see how long it lasts.

Great replacement. My original doors lasted about 2.5 years. The replacement fits awesome. Closure is way better now that the doors aren’t warped! Easy to install took about 5 minutes

Perfect replacement and fit for my cat door. I personally would have preferred a cheaper price for this plastic flap, but this was the cheapest available that would fit. Things are getting outrageously priced but we have to pay to pay. It does not seal perfectly. I do not know if that is because the door itself is older and the edges sound the plastic flap are worn from use. But I added washers over the plastic to prevent breakage at screw holes. Somewhat easy to install, could use better design in the entire unit. But this is the exact replacement part. I may try flying a new magnet under the flap.

Love this dog door! Dogs do too. Easy install. Easy to maintain. Installed earlier this fall when we renovated our porch. I do have one concern. Living in Vermont it gets very cold with subzero weather. The outer door broke off recently in the cold. Clean break across the top where it attaches. I replaced the outer door in a few minutes and was back in business. Hope we don’t have that problem again.

Worked perfectly

Just what we needed

My dogs are hard on these flaps. I don't know if it is my dogs or the product itself but we have to replace monthly. It does stay closed when the weather is bad, easy to install, and dogs learn to use it quickly. So nice not to have to open a door every time multiple dogs want to go out

Overall I'm very happy with the large dog door we installed. We live at 7000 feet so it gets cold and snows, but the door flaps generally keep the cold out. Replacement flaps are very easy to install. My one complaint is that our 2-yr old standard poodle has chewed the outside flaps 4 times not only requiring replacement of the flaps but causing serious problems for the dog's stomach including vomiting up sharp pieces of plastic. Baboni, you need to make more chew-resistance flaps. Replacing flaps 4 times at $25 bucks a pop is getting expensive! And I don't want my dog at risk.

Fit perfectly on existing Baboni dog door

We love our dog door, but the flaps start to break over time. They finally had replacements in stock and were able to grab a few

the dog door works great we love it, we have had it for two years finally had to replace the replacement flap. We do have a large dog so not surprising.

Will break in -20 to -30

Have had to replace the two outside "flaps" twice, but we live where it is cold and WINDY; with two dogs who go in and out and in and out and..If we add another door, it will be Baboni
