Overview
PetSafe builds this Freedom pet door around an aluminum frame and a magnetic flap, sized for large pets. It installs into a house door rather than a wall, held by the supplied nylon screws and sleeves through a cutout you mark with the included template. A closing panel slides in to shut the opening when the door should stay closed.
Households with a large dog get a flap that shuts itself and a metal frame that resists the chewing and pushing a big animal brings. The listing gives no opening height or width and no cutout dimensions, so the fit has to come from measuring the pet and the door yourself. Nothing here says the door works in a wall, a screen, or a sliding panel.
Who it's for
A large dog that goes out on its own schedule and a door thick enough to take the frame suits this pet door. Owners who need published cutout numbers, or who want to mount through a wall or a screen, should look elsewhere because the listing does not cover those cases.
Pros and cons
- Magnetic flap closes behind the pet
- Aluminum frame resists wear
- Fits doors from thin to two inches
- Screws, sleeves and template supplied
- Opening and cutout dimensions not listed
- No wall or screen mounting listed
- White finish is the only color listed
Performance notes
The magnetic strip along the flap edge pulls the panel back into place after a pet passes, which is what holds weather and drafts out between trips. An aluminum frame holds the cutout edges straight so the flap meets its seal instead of warping with the door. Fit depends on the door thickness falling inside the listed range and on the cutout being marked and cut squarely.

Frequently asked questions
How do I keep the PetSafe Freedom Aluminum Pet Door working over time?
Wipe the flap and the frame channel so grit does not build up where the flap meets its seal. Check the nylon screws and sleeves now and then and tighten any that have worked loose. The magnetic strip should pull the flap shut on its own; if it stops closing fully, clean the mating edges first.
What comes in the box with this pet door?
The box holds the PetSafe Freedom Aluminum Pet Door, a closing panel, nylon screws, screw sleeves, a template and an installation guide. You mark the cutout with the template and fasten the frame with the supplied screws and sleeves.
Can this pet door go into a wall instead of a door?
The listed installation surface is a door from 0.38 to 2 inches thick. Nothing in the listing covers a wall, a screen, or a sliding panel, so those installs are outside what this product is stated to do.
What pet does the large size suit?
It is listed for large dogs, with a maximum weight capacity of 220 pounds, and it also lists cats and dogs as the target audience. The opening dimensions are not given, so measure your pet before ordering.
