AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers find the installation of the pet door to be pretty easy. They mention that the product comes with good instructions and a template for the hole to cut.

"Great product, if you can use a Sabre saw, it's an easy installation. Seals very well along its edges. Works very well as stated...." Read more
"...More on that later.- It was fairly easy to install.- It looks about as good as you can expect a giant, beige, plastic dog door to look...." Read more
"...Correct installation is obviously a necessity. If the door is un-level or not squared appropriately, I can see a problem with binding...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the performance of the pet door. Some mention that the system as a whole works pretty well, while others say that it doesn't lock all the way and doesn' t function properly.
"When it works: it works great.Goes through a lot of batteries (4 C type) in a year and absolutely will not work without fairly fresh batteries...." Read more
"...purchase it with the intent of using it with a Z-Wave controller, it will NOT work...." Read more
"...Seals very well along its edges. Works very well as stated...." Read more
"...Pros:- It technically works. Well, it *technically* works TOO well, in fact. More on that later.- It was fairly easy to install.-..." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the lock. Some mention that the flap is hard plastic and they can lock it completely or let it swing open at the touch of a button. They like the locking feature at night, while others say that it takes too long to lock again and randomly locks and unlocks on its own. The lock pops very loudly sometimes and is super slow to engage.
"...Change them at the same time.Doesn't "re-lock" fast enough to keep a really smart part Maine Coon Cat from following the dog out...." Read more
"...Next time doggo tries to go out, it doesn't unlock at all. At all. Makes no sense...." Read more
"...It has not gotten stuck once. It closes quickly behind him and locks in about 15 seconds...." Read more
"...Other times it doesn't want to unlock until my dog is right next to it. You can adjust the sensitivity, but it still seems pretty sporadic.3...." Read more
Customers are mixed about the quality of the pet door. Some mention it's well built, and never falls apart. They also appreciate the overall quality, saying they have had no mechanical problems after 19 months. However, others say that it' is extremely problematic, grossly over priced, and poorly designed.
"...It looks like a plug for a large ice chest. It's klunky, looks stupid on my dogs collar, makes lots of noise despite my best efforts to silence it..." Read more
"...This door is excellent. Some complain about range, intermittent ID recognition failure, magnet strength, binding, installation, etc.,..." Read more
"...It didn't solve the problem. How flimsy this door is also says a lot about the security of the door...." Read more
"...Overall, this is a great quality dog door, but the automatic locking and unlocking feature has room for improvement, especially if your dog is..." Read more
Customers are mixed about the ease of opening. Some mention that the door is great, easy install, and smart. They like that it opens from a distance they determine and stays open when their dog is near. However, others say that it doesn't open every time, has some interference, and constantly pops open.
"...dogs get too excited and run through it so fast that the door flies off the hinges...." Read more
"...It stops heavy winds and has no problems with binding or jamming. The rigid door makes a huge difference over the rubberized flaps...." Read more
"...many, MANY instances where he's standing in front of it and the door doesn't work...." Read more
"...It has not gotten stuck once. It closes quickly behind him and locks in about 15 seconds...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the noise the pet door makes when it locks and unlocks. They mention that the door makes a very loud popping sound that scares the dogs. Customers also say that the hard plastic door swings noisily as it closes shut, making it extremely frustrating for all of them.
"...The door is pretty loud when it locks/unlocks and swings so thus far the cats have only investigated from a distance...." Read more
"...Noise: The unlocking sound the door makes is a little loud...." Read more
"...The door makes a loud clicking noise when it unlocks and it takes a second before it’s unlocked...." Read more
"...It's klunky, looks stupid on my dogs collar, makes lots of noise despite my best efforts to silence it with velcro instead of a typical metal ring...." Read more

"...And after a year and month, I came home to find the door snapped off, and a wide gaping hole in my door...." Read more
"...happened a few times over the past couple years, until the hinges actually broke off...." Read more
"...The second one lasted less than 3 months. We have 3:45 lb dogs and we bought the largest door available just so they would have ease of access...." Read more
"Update (11/28/22) after 2 years of regular use by my dogs, the axle has busted...." Read more
Customers are not satisfied with the size of the pet door. They mention that the collar fobs are annoyingly large for little dogs, the key fob is pretty large for a cat to have dangling around its collar, and the SmartKey is still too large and cumbersome. They also say that the product is not large enough or strong enough for s a 100 lb dog, and that the proximity thing for the collar is big and doesn't work very well.
"...a non-locking door to replace it and save money, but this one is so big and oddly shaped that it’s practically impossible to find anything different..." Read more
"...Maybe the door is too heavy or the magnet that holds the door shut is too strong, but they can't seem to figure out how to push it open...." Read more
"...Unfortunately, the key that comes with the door is huge and weighty!..." Read more
"...It is a very very drafty door. I expected some draft, but this is a large draft, even when locked...." Read more

This door is excellent. Some complain about range, intermittent ID recognition failure, magnet strength, binding, installation, etc., none of which I have noticed. If there is a range or recognition failure, it is probably caused by RF interference in the area. Mine works great and has not "forgotten" any of the 3 keys. After experimenting with a number of different pet doors, this is by far the best weatherized model I have had. It stops heavy winds and has no problems with binding or jamming. The rigid door makes a huge difference over the rubberized flaps. I ensured that the hole was square when I installed it, which is probably an issue for some. Correct installation is obviously a necessity. If the door is un-level or not squared appropriately, I can see a problem with binding. Mine is installed in an insulated steel door. Framing and mounting this through a wall would not be difficult, even without the tunneling kit sold separately. The doors frame is plastic so when the installation screws are installed, the door could easily skew if the hole, level, or square are incorrect. This would absolutely cause binding or jamming, as the door actually slides down into a channel to fully "lock" or secure. The door is pretty quiet, except for a rather loud "pop" when it lifts from the channel to unsecure. It scared the crap out of my Dingo for a few days but he got used to it quick. Now the two dogs and cat have learned that the "pop" means it's time to push. Yeah...if you didn't catch that...my 4lb. cat can easily open the large version of this door, but the wind does not stop it's reset. Now that the functionality is explained, I'll go into the Iris part.
Just for entertainment, I got the matching "Iris" hub from Lowe's which is a Zigbee and Z-Wave radio home automation controller. Not only does this allow you to switch from "Automatic" "Locked" and "Unlocked" modes from a smartphone or PC (locally or remotely), it monitors which animal (based on the collar transmitter) exits or enters. You can look at the "activity log" in the Iris app or website and see which animal went "in through the door" or "out through the door" and when. This is a pretty cool feature which has a ton of practical application, even if you don't realize it at first. (ie. it's now pretty simple to see if the kids actually let the dogs out). I should note that, although it is annotated nowhere in the documentation, I have determined that the internal radio for this door is Zigbee, not Z-Wave. If you purchase it with the intent of using it with a Z-Wave controller, it will NOT work. Lowe's convolutes these systems with "Iris" by selling both Z-Wave and Zigbee devices and not bothering to tell you what product is which.
There is a lot of room on the inside of the device also. I wanted to add an alarm sensor into the door and it was exceptionally easy to add a wireless reed switch based sensor inside the frame, using one of the built-in magnets as it's motivator. They should build this ability into the door, but it would require too many different versions for compatibility, as there isn't a single protocol for wireless alarm inter-compatibility. It was remarkably simple to add a Honeywell/Ademco 5800micra sensor.
The door has now been running on a cheap set of 4 "D" batteries for 2-3 months and hasn't dropped a bar on the "Iris" battery monitor. I would speculate that the version without the Iris transceiver has even longer battery life.
I have a 50lb Dingo, 75lb Siberian Husky, and 4lb Siamese cat. None have a problem operating this door. It is solidly constructed, albeit all plastic, and reliable. If you get the correct version, install it correctly, and aren't a complete and utter moron, I am confident (after my personal experiences) that you will be more than happy with the door. This door is well worth the $75, $100, or $229.00 (version dependent) that is spent on it. It looks clean and works great.

This door is well worth the $75, $100, or $229.00 (version dependent) that is spent on it. It looks clean and works great.
On to the Petsafe electronic door. We ended up having our handyman install the door so I can't really comment on installation. We were installing in a metal door and didn't have the tools to cut through the door so I didn't even try. I had read a comment on here about making sure the door was level and passed that along to him. He said he put it in and was having a bit of trouble getting it working right so he loosened the screws and re-leveled to get it working. This makes me think being level is quite important, as would make sense for a swinging door.
We have had this door for a week now and it is working great for us. It makes a pretty loud click when it unlocks. This scared the dog a bit in the beginning but he is used to it now. He has to be in the range for about 15 seconds for the door to unlock. The range can be adjusted so maybe it would open quicker if I adjusted it but I like it taking him standing in range for a bit for it to unlock so it doesn't unlock every time he walks by. In the beginning he would try to get out the door before it was unlocked but has now learned to wait for the click to know it is unlocked. To teach him to go out the door I held the door open and showed him it was just like his old doggie door. When I tried to get him to go out on his own he didn't seem to understand that he could open it by himself as this door seals tightly unike a flap door. I gave him a little nudge from behind a couple of times to push his nose into the door and he quickly realized he could open it this way. Next, I stood outside the door and gave him treats when he came out, then moved back inside and did the same. It took about 5 days for him to get really comfortable with the door but now he uses it just fine.
We have not had any issues with the door not opening when it is supposed to. It has not gotten stuck once. It closes quickly behind him and locks in about 15 seconds. So far our cats have not tried to go out behind him, but I do realize this is a very real possibility. The door is pretty loud when it locks/unlocks and swings so thus far the cats have only investigated from a distance. So far we love the door and it has saved my sanity (I couldn't take another half dead animal coming in my house, my kitties roaming off and getting injured, or another midnight visit from a strange animal) but, I am still a bit skeptical. With so many bad reviews I am just waiting for this thing to break any day. I will update this review if my opinion changes from my current 5 star rating.
****Update August 6, 2012****
At this point I would give this product more than 5 stars if I could! We have not had a single problem with it, I'm not sure if this is luck on our part, but I'm not questioning it :-). It has never gotten stuck or locked our dog out or in. I had to change the battery in the collar today. A red light came on on the collar unit to notify me it was dead, I replaced it and it worked just the same again.
One of our cats has learned to go out of the door, in fact he has trained the dog to let him out when he wants out (it took him about a month to figure it out). He will meow at the door like something important is going on until the dog comes to check it out. The dog then stands there confused trying to figure out what the cat is yelling about and unlocks the door for him. As soon as the cat hears the click he is out the door! Whoever said dogs are smarter than cats hasn't lived with both ;-). This really hasn't been an issue because he always comes back quickly and hasn't yet trained the dog to let him in so I have to let him back in (the doggy door is in the garage so I know he always has a safe, cooler place to go) preventing him from bringing any of his half dead prey in the house with him. Our other 2 cats still have no interest in going near this door even though they used to go out the regular doggy door all the time. I think the noise of it still scares them, they are both more timid than the fearless hunter who has it all figured out.
If you are like me and questioning this door because of the terrible reviews, I think it is definitely worth a try, just make sure you are precise in installing the door.
Goes through a lot of batteries (4 C type) in a year and absolutely will not work without fairly fresh batteries. Same with the dog collar batteries. Change them at the same time.
Doesn't "re-lock" fast enough to keep a really smart part Maine Coon Cat from following the dog out. (Although I have seen that cat drive the dog out just to follow so that's not the doors problem.)
"Easy to install" if you can *easily* take the door off, cut a giant hole in it, install the pet door, then put it back on. (But I was 71 when I had to do it so ...)
