The
PetSafe Extreme Weather Pet Door uses a unique 3-flap design: 2
flexible flaps that sandwich a padded material (Yellow portion in door
image). There is not brush (pile) weather stripping along any of the
side of the flaps. The flaps do have magnetic strip only along the
bottom portion of the vinyl flaps. The interior insulating pad does
not have any magnets and simply free floats.
The 3-flap design,
does increase the resistance a pet would feel going through the door.
This rigidity may require a pet more time to become accustom to the
door. The locking panel is a true "front-load" meaning that it snaps
directly on the pet opening.
Flaps are connected by
thumbscrews through a slotted section at the top of the flaps. This
allows for adjustment of the flaps, centering as up and down to some
degree. Petsafe has not provided any information regarding the
longevity of this flap configuration.
