Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The Pet Safe EW is without question the best insulated pet door I've installed; and I've installed a few. Weatherstripping around the frame and an insulated flap sandwiched between 2 outer flaps make for a good way to keep the cold out and the hot in or vice versa. Included with the door is an inner frame which is wide enough for a wall installation but can be cut down to fit a door installation with a pair of scissors. Although I do like the door it does come with a few drawbacks. It's not a big deal, but the clips it comes with to connect the inner frame break easily. Assembling the frame to install between the two door frames is a bit of a pain. I ended up taping it together to make things easier. Petsafe decided to use plastic screws for the door assembly. I assume the decision was made so that one set of screws would work for both wall and door installations. You just break off the excess screw that sticks out. I'm not crazy about the plastic screws however despite the fact that they do seem to work fine. The flaps on the door are not transparent. This is an issue for my dogs and will take some time for them to get used to. I removed the insulation flap in hopes it would solve the problem until they get used to not being able to see what's on the other side of the door. Unfortunately unlike the image on Amazon, those aren't transparent either. My final gripe is with regards to the cover. While most other doors use a slide, this one uses a snap on cap. It's a bit awkward and too easy to knock off from the outside. The slide system the other doors use works better and does provide a but more security.
