Baboni 3-Flap Pet Door for Wall, Steel Frame and Telescoping Tunnel, Aluminum Lock, Double Flap Dog Door and Cat Door, Strong and Durable (Pets Up to 100 Lb) -Large

The media could not be loaded. I've installed several plastic pet doors from a home improvement store which were okay. They did the job. I had to replace that said doggie door as I was getting a new door installed and wanted to move the doggie door into the wall. That company no longer carried that particular size so I couldn't buy accessories which led me to Amazon and finding this amazing dog door.This dog door is not the cheap plastic, but yet the entire door including the lockout door is all made of aluminum and powder coated with a white paint. It is a very sturdy and very professional looking doggie door. It has three flaps one on each side and a middle flap for insulation which I ended up. Taking out made it extremely difficult for the dog to push through with three of those in place. So I left the two outered doors and now my dog can easily push through.The instructions were very clear and easy to follow and made for a beautiful insulation into the wall with no issues and was shocked at how solid it feels and looks in the wall.The value for your money with buying this compared to the cheap plastic ones. This ended up being cheaper than those plastic ones. Aunt provides more functionality and better sizes were offered with this than the plastic ones.If you're looking for a new dog door, I highly recommend investing in this company's product

Great product. Easy installation.

I had been buying the plastic brand dog door for about 13 years now and in that time I had to replace the entire thing 4 times as well as replace the flaps, which seemed to warp or tear in no time at all, just about every year and at times twice a year which always annoyed me. Now granted I have always had big dogs, along with my now 15 year old Chi, but it was a “large” size dog door so I expected it to hold up to said large size dogs. So when the plastic frame broke yet again this time around I happened to come across this one and decided to give it a shot after reading all the positive reviews and especially because it’s metal and not plastic.I can’t comment much on the installation as we already had the hole for the tunnel to go through the wall which is the most difficult part of the install imo and exactly why I had a contractor do it 13 years ago when the first one was installed. Also, because my own personal handyman hubby is excellent in just about every department, but not so much when it comes to drywall/woodworking stuff.Another plus for me is that this dog door is the same size as the old plastic one which made choosing it that much easier. It’s almost as if they knew I would be fed up with replacing the plastic one 😄That being said the rest of the install wasn’t very difficult at all. I took tips from other reviewers about using longer screws for added stability as we already had it framed out with 2x4’s and had reinforced underneath the tunnel since at the time we installed the first through wall dog door we had Kane dog who was a 105 lb Bully rescue that we sadly lost to cancer 2 years ago and who I miss him every single day even though we have since welcomed two new rescues into our lives. We now have a 95 lb Great Pyrenees/Bully mix and a 55 lb Belgian Malinois/Staffordshire mix who will be putting this large dog door to the test. We also put insulation all around the tunnel, added good quality expandable weatherstripping and of course put a good sealant around the edges of the exterior side which is against vinyl siding. Also, the flaps feel thicker and heavier as well as have a stronger magnetic closure so hopefully I won’t be replacing them every year, but time will tell on that and I will be sure to update if it’s even remotely like the old ones.I haven’t had it long enough to comment on the stability of it, again time will tell, but at least I no longer have to worry about the frame cracking and breaking which leaves me very hopeful.It also wouldn’t be fair for me to speak of the energy efficiency yet because I rarely close the doors and my basement is not well insulated so it’s always cold on the unfinished side where the dog door is, but I will come back and update my review later as I am planning on using the doors now since the dogs aren’t going out as often with winter here and being forced to have unhappy walks in the freezing rain. Such pampered pups! I also purchased a second door so I could close off both sides which I think will help greatly with the efficiency, especially overnight. These metal doors are WAY better than the plastic one that came with the old dog door and have a far superior locking mechanism. Not that it would prevent someone from kicking them in if they so dared, I don’t believe any through wall dog door systems are tough enough to withstand that, but that’s when the actual dogs would come in handy. I always put something very heavy like a refrigerator (no joke) which is not easily moved through that small of a space in front of the door when the dogs go on vacation with us and I’ve never had a problem, even with the plastic door.Overall I am very happy with the switch and feel this through wall dog door system will hold up much better than the plastic brand I spent so much money on since having it and therefore I feel my purchase was well spent especially during these difficult times where most of us, at least I am, are spending less on nonessential items. I highly recommend it!

This dog door is fantastic! It is made a really strong material and I believe it hold up well against the elements. I love the fact that it has three flaps. I can definitely tell a difference, especially going through the winter that it helps prevent the extra cold air from coming in. The only downfall with the three flaps is that it is too heavy for my little Chihuahua to use. We still have to let her out using our sliding door, which is kind of annoying, but she wants to go out a lot less than our beagle. The lock feature is great as we cover the door every night to prevent animals or other creatures from coming in or even to prevent theft. Our beagle has absolutely no issue going in and out. It was easy to install. I think it is reasonably priced for the quality you get. I would definitely recommend this door to anyone in the market for a good quality dog.

The installation in my house was quite a bit more complicated than the Baboni instructions anticipated (no fault of Baboni's), so I didn't use the templates or any of the screws or fittings other than the white plastic screw-head covers. It's a good thing I'm handy with power tools, as the installation was not for the timid. It might be easier for those whose situation can make use of the templates, etc. The bottom line is that the dog door fits very well in the holes I made in the interior wall and exterior siding, and once the housewolves figured out how to push through all of the flaps (one thinner translucent flap on the interior and a double-flap that includes an opaque, insulated layer on the exterior), they have been doing great with it. The door is made of sturdy metal, and the two telescoping halves fit together well. The main thing I really, REALLY like about this dog door is that functionally NO air passes through. I could not be more pleased about that. I haven't yet used the metal lock-out door, but it seems to slide in the tracks and lock in place as intended. And of course I don't yet know about the durability of the flaps themselves. That's probably the Achilles heel of the door, so if you find reviews from people who have used theirs for a long while, I'd pay attention to the durability aspect. Five stars so far.

Extremely high quality all metal door. Comparable to similar doors that cost 5 times as much and install was very straightforward. The middle flap does a great job at insulating from outside temperatures and sunlight. I highly recommend this door!
