Product Overview
Most pet flaps are built around one small opening, which leaves owners of medium dogs stuck between a cat-sized door and a full panel installation. This large dog door is sold in two clearly published opening sizes so you can match the flap to the animal rather than hoping. The L opening suits cats and small dogs; the XL opening is sized for medium dogs. Fit it once and your pet comes and goes on its own, in both directions, without you playing doorman.
Why You'll Love It
- Two published opening sizes, so you can measure your pet before you buy
- Gives medium dogs a flap that actually fits them
- Two-way access, so pets let themselves in and out
- Moulded plastic construction that wipes clean
- Straightforward fitting into a door panel
Key Features
-
Sized for real dogs. The XL opening is 37cm / 14.57in wide by 41cm / 16.14in high, comfortably larger than a typical cat flap.
-
Two-way entry and exit. The flap swings both directions so your pet is never shut out.
-
Plastic build. Light, rigid and easy to wipe down.
-
Universal fitment. The supplier lists it as suitable for all dog breeds within the stated opening sizes.
-
Lockable, per the maker. The supplier describes this pet door as lockable. See Important Information below for what is and is not confirmed about that.

Package Includes
One pet door in the opening size you select. The supplier does not itemise the package beyond the door itself, so we cannot confirm whether fixings or a cut-out template are supplied. If that matters to your installation, message us before ordering and we will ask the supplier.
Important Information
-
Measure your pet, not your door, first. Measure your pet across the shoulders at its widest point and from floor to shoulder height, then compare against the opening figures above. The opening must clear the widest point.
-
The figures above are the opening sizes. The overall frame is larger than the opening. The supplier does not publish the outer frame dimensions or the door thicknesses the frame will fit, so please allow margin around your cut-out.
-
On the locking claim: the supplier describes the door as lockable but publishes no detail of the locking mechanism, and does not state whether it is a four-way lock or a simple closing panel. We are passing on the maker's description rather than confirming it ourselves.
-
This is a pet door, not a security product. Any opening in an external door is an opening. Fit it where that is acceptable to you.
- Wipe the flap and frame with a damp cloth. No specific cleaning products are required.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which size should I choose?
Measure your pet's shoulder width and height. If the widest measurement is under about 24cm wide and 29cm tall, the L will do. Medium dogs generally need the XL at 37 x 41cm.
Will it fit a glass or metal door?
The supplier does not state which door materials this can be fitted to, and gives no template. It is described for interior and exterior door panels. We would not assume glass without checking with a glazier.
Can my pet get back in as well as out?
Yes. The flap works in both directions.
Is it weatherproof?
The supplier does not publish a weather, wind or insulation rating for this door, so we are not claiming one. If you need a sealed, insulated flap for a cold climate, our Insulated Dog Door is specified for that.
How big a hole do I need to cut?
Larger than the opening, because the frame surrounds it. The supplier does not publish the outer frame size, so measure the product on arrival before cutting.
