Overview
Super large telescoping-frame pet door from Ideal Pet Products with a 15 by 23.5 inch flap, built for wall or door installation with an adjustable frame.
Listed under Dog Gates, but this is a pet door, not a gate, and the telescoping frame is the detail that matters since it adjusts to fit a range of wall or door thicknesses rather than one fixed size. Rated for dogs up to 120 lbs with a plastic frame and flap, positioning it for large breeds.
- 15 x 23.5 inch flap, super large size
- Telescoping frame, 0.75 to 5.5 inch thickness range
- 120 lb weight capacity
- Lock-out slide closure, white plastic frame
Who it's for
Fits owners installing a permanent pet door for a large dog through a wall or door between 0.75 and 5.5 inches thick. Not suited to thin doors outside that range or households wanting a temporary, non-installed option.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Telescoping frame fits wall or door thickness 0.75 to 5.5 inches
- Rated for dogs up to 120 lbs
- Lock-out slide closure for security
- One year manufacturer warranty against defects
- Won't fit walls or doors thicker than 5.5 inches
- 15 x 23.5 inch flap is oversized for small dogs
Performance notes
The telescoping frame is designed to extend and lock to match the actual thickness of a wall or door within its 0.75 to 5.5 inch range, which is what lets one door fit varied installations. The lock-out slide closure and plastic frame back a 120 lb weight capacity.
