Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024
First, the locks are useless. They are tiny plastic pins that are easy to break, and they don't even extend far enough to lock the door well. Our 5 pound puppy walked right through the "locked" door like it wasn't even there. The plastic pins at the top that allow the door to swing back and forth are thicker, but they could easily be broken by a dog running full steam through the door. If the pins at the top and bottom were metal, the door would be a lot more sturdy. I was going to replace the, now broken, locking pins at the bottom of the door with metal ones, but I was afraid that if the bottom pins held when the dog ran into it, it would just make the top ones snap.
The other issue is that it does not install well. I tested it on our old screen first to see how it worked, because I was planning on replacing our screen with a thicker pet resistant screen. It snapped into place easily on our old screen. We locked it, and when the dog ran into the locked door the first time, the outside piece popped off... and then the inside piece fell off. Pretty useless. Before installing the new screen, I tested trying to snap the door over it. The door will not snap into place at all with a thicker gauge of screen. I realized that I would have to drill holes and actually use nuts and bolts to hold it in place.
Once I got the new screen installed and put the dog door in place, bolted it in as well as using a bead of adhesive to really keep it in place, it actually works quite well. However, out of the box without modifications, it will probably be useless to most people. If the company would like to hire me as a consultant. I can show you how to make this product not be a flimsy piece of poo.
I definitely cannot recommend this door if you have active dogs like mine. My 18 lb. Shih Tzu / Border Terrier loves to fly through the door at full speed and as a result, he's knocked out the swinging inner door not once, not twice, but 3 times, each time necessitating the purchase of a complete new PetSafe door. The door design is flawed. The swinging door swivels on 2 1/8" plastic pins. If the pins were made of steel instead of cheap, low strength plastic, the pins would not break.
It was already a flawed design. As I mentioned in my original post below, the 2 piece PetSafe door frame will separate under constant use. There is absolutely no way that the door frame pieces will stay together press fit together with a layer of window screen sandwiched in-between. When the dogs come and go through the door, they are exert a small amount of force on the door frame in either direction and eventually the frame will separate. The only solution is to drill holes through the frame and bolt the pieces together with screws and nuts.
I've bought my last PetSafe Pet Screen Door. I'm moving onto something else because it simply is not designed to handle the rigors exerted upon it by an active dog.
Original Review (2 stars).
I bought two PetSafe Pet Screen Doors knowing that it was a flawed design having read most of the negative reviews of the product. However, for the measly sum of $11.87 X 2 to replace 2 shredded patio screen doors, thanks to my overzealous small dogs, I decided to give the product a try, knowing the best alternative metal screen pet doors cost 10 to 20 times more.
For my installation, I installed the PetSafe doors concurrently with new pet resistant vinyl coated screens which are thicker and stronger than typical screens. As I thought would happen, PetSafe doors would not mount properly on my pet resistant screens. The PetSafe doors features 2 plastic frames which feature tongue and groove channels. When the 2 frames are pressed together, the channels should clamp together tightly onto the screen, thus securing it in place. The frames rely on friction to keep from separating, but pet resistant vinyl screens are simply too thick to allow the doors to be installed as per the instructions. So I created my own set of instructions:
1. Go to the hardware store and buy 8 machine screws and nuts - size #8 x 3/4" long. Also buy #8 flat washers and lock washers. If you don't already have a drill bit to match the #8 screw diameter, buy one now. If you don't have a drill, maybe you should not be attempting this project. Also purchase 5 - 2" inch nails that are the same diameter as the #8 machine screw.
2, Tape the frames together with masking tape so that when you drill the holes, the frames don't separate. Drill 8 holes, 1 on each corner and 1 each at the mid-point of all 4 sides.
3. Face the screen interior side up. Take the interior side frame and place it onto the door or window screen in the position you desire. Measure the spacing if you don't trust your eyeballs. Use masking tape to tape it to the screen so it won't slide around.
4. Take the 4 nails and push it through the 4 corner holes and through the screen mesh.
5. Take the other frame and mount it on the other side of the screen mesh, using the 4 nails to align the 2 frame together.
6. Take the 5th nail and push it through one of the open holes, through the mesh, and through the 2nd frame. Wiggle it around slightly. Because the screen mesh is tightly woven, we need the nail to expand the hole enough for a #8 screw to pass through it. Remove the nail after the drill hole is clear of all obstructions.
7. Take 8# - 3/4" machine screw and flat washer and insert it into the hole. On the other end, secure it with a lock washer and nut. Thread it part way but do not tighten yet.
8. Do the same for the remaining 7 holes.
9. Once all the screws and nuts are mounted, tighten them down, but do not over tighten. Keep in mind that the frames are plastic and could crack from excessive pressure.
10. Using a sharp utility blade, cut the hold for the screen. After the hole is cut, swing the door to see if there is any leftover screen material sticking out that prevents the door from swinging freely. If there is, then use the utility blade to clean it up.
Optional: There are 2 plastic pins at bottom of the swinging door. One of my dogs likes to use his paw to push the door open, but in so doing he often inadvertently locks the swinging door. I decided to remove the locking pins by holding the door up, extending the pins, and cutting them off with the utility blade.
Considering the screw and nut was invented back around 400 BC, I have no idea why PetSafe abandoned it while designing these doors. Did they suddenly decide they were no longer useful?
I've attached a picture of my Pet Safe Door as installed after modifications. It's not pretty, but the door swings properly and combined with the pet resistant screen, it's mounted securely. Considering these doors probably cost no more than a dollar in manufacturing costs, if it lasts more than a year baking in the hot So Cal sun, I'll be thrilled. So if you encounter problems installing these doors, hopefully I've provided an idea on how to make it work.
At $11.87, Amazon's special deal price, it's woth buying. At it's normal price of $22 - $25, I would definitely evaluate other brands to see if the installation is any better.

Spring is here and once again the pets are wanting out. Then back in, then out................ The screen door is getting quite the workout as is our nerves.
I wish PetSafe had this in a medium (was not available, ANYWHERE) size but it works just okay for Fido and Kitty. Install today was super easy and took all of about 15 minutes. Right now we are doing training on the pets with door taped open for them and then once they have that down, the doggy door position comes down too.
There may be a bit of a tricky part to the install. If your door screen is nylon, then use a designated groove (see manual) in the frame of the doggy door. However there is a second pictured groove and that is for use if your door screen is metal. Very self explanatory and easy.
Recommended.
UPDATE: May 17, 2018
The door has required 4 removal/replace to adjust and repair. Today the dog came through all excited (doorbell) and took the door right off the screen! The first install I did was too low despite holding down the cat and dog to measure shoulder height. Lots of scratches later, I had to move the door up 1.5 inches which is now better. I think it is as good as it will be now.
UPDATE: June 1, 2018 The door keeps popping out of the screen so will try some tiny bolts I have to retain the door or better yet, install an acrylic piece along the base of the patio screen door to strengthen the whole install.
UPDATE: June 19, 2018 HUGE THANKS to fellow reviewer Olivia. It was her review that suggested using screws to clamp the two halves together. The screen door fell apart AGAIN yesterday so got some tiny 6/32 hex nuts and bolts. Drilled a 1/8 inch hole in 6 places around the door and able to tighten it down really well. This will cure the issue.

The door has required 4 removal/replace to adjust and repair. Today the dog came through all excited (doorbell) and took the door right off the screen! The first install I did was too low despite holding down the cat and dog to measure shoulder height. Lots of scratches later, I had to move the door up 1.5 inches which is now better. I think it is as good as it will be now.
UPDATE: June 1, 2018 The door keeps popping out of the screen so will try some tiny bolts I have to retain the door or better yet, install an acrylic piece along the base of the patio screen door to strengthen the whole install.
UPDATE: June 19, 2018 HUGE THANKS to fellow reviewer Olivia. It was her review that suggested using screws to clamp the two halves together. The screen door fell apart AGAIN yesterday so got some tiny 6/32 hex nuts and bolts. Drilled a 1/8 inch hole in 6 places around the door and able to tighten it down really well. This will cure the issue.
