Perfect replacement
My previous flaps were tinted which caused many collisions between my dogs. After three years, they have torn, warped, and have dirt imbedded in them. It was time for a refresh. These replacements fit perfectly, are easy to install, and are crystal clear. Iâve notice the dogs putting the brakes on if they see another making their way through or standing on the other side. Hoping they are durable and will hold up for a few years. Very happy with the purchase.

Perfect Fit
Perfect fit and so crystal clear it makes me think I shouldâve replaced the interior flap too. When itâs time, Iâll buy this one again.

Sturdy
We have two larger dogs that constantly use the dog door for these flaps. We replace them about once a year because they get warped on the bottom, thus allowing air in since the magnets donât catch. One of our dogs is high energy and always running through it, so it makes sense. After awhile they do get dirty and not see through anymore. They hold up really well, theyâve never ripped or gotten damaged otherwise. Super easy to install with a screwdriver only.

USE THIS EASY FIX SO YOUR FLAP DOESN’T SAG!
Iâve had my Ruff Weather (RW) dual flap dog door for 11 years. The door frame itself has performed superbly from an 85lb and a 110lb dog both blasting through it many times a day over the decade plus. However, the weak point of these doors -as you well know if you have one – is that after only a few weeks the flap begins to sag, resulting in a gap that renders your door not so âRuff Weather.âOver the years I tried a few things to fix a sagging flap, and all failed, so I have had to invest hundreds of dollars in new flaps over this time. Recently I bought a brand new RW door (I put the old one on my shed studio), and I noticed that the Ideal Pet people have tried to address the gap caused by the flap sag by making the brush felt on the sides longer now, so that the felt overlaps the flap instead of just meeting it – too bad they couldnât have addressed the cause instead of the symptom!Anyway, this time I really applied myself to finding a solution, and I came up with an inexpensive one that works: FlexFix UL Listed Duct Tape Sealer (1.89 in. x 120.3 yd).1. Starting with the long sides, lay out a piece the tape long enough to go all the way from top to bottom of the flap. Lay the flap on the tape so the flap edge is on the center of the tape, then bring the tape up over to the top side of the flap, sandwiching the flap between the piece of tape. Itâs important that the tape goes all the way top to bottom because this is what keeps it from sagging.2. Repeat step one with the top of the flap3. Slit the tape a bit where the flap holes are so the pegs can go throughI did this then waited a year to post this, just to make sure the flap didnât sag. It didnât! The tape even improved the sag on the old flap a bit.Photo 1 is the gap that never fails to appear on each flap after a few weeks.Photo 2 is a brand new flap with flexfix duct tape on all four sidesPhoto 3 is the taped flap installed (view from inside with inside flap removed)Photo 4 is the taped flap after one year (that green on the bottom of the door itself is painterâs tape. This area is hard to clean, so I put the tape on there and when it gets dirty I just peel it up and put new down)As a bonus for you DIYers, I’ve included photos of the type of dog door that the Amish around here use. If you are a good trainer, this looks to me like the best fix for high wind areas. Those are self-closing hinges so the door takes a slight bit of effort to open, then snaps closed, so maybe not good for smaller dogs. My dogs were old when I got this shed with the door, one of my dog’s is sensitive and they both dislike change, so I opted to replace this door with my old RW door from the house (mentioned earlier).6/17: the photos were out of order and (hopefully) fixed.

Good quality product. Better value to just rebuy the whole door?
Iâve had my Ruff Weather Super Large Dog Door for about five years now and finally needed to replace the original flaps. They were warped out of shape and no longer provided a weatherproof seal.The replacement flap is a good quality and fits perfectly onto the door. However, I wish I could get the tinted option that comes with the original door. The clear flaps make it easy for anyone to just look right into your home. See photo. If you want clear flaps though, these are indeed crystal clear.Also, I find the replacement flap to be very expensive. Itâs $56 for just one flap. On Chewy.com right now, you can buy the entire super large door kit for $115 with free shipping. Buying two replacement flaps at $56 each on Amazon is $112. For three dollars more you could replace your entire set up. Youâd be paying three more dollars to replace all the screws, the fur channels, the magnets, and the flap support bar if you wanted. Buying a replacement flap on Amazon is only a good deal if you need just one.That being said, the original flaps lasted me five years, so overall, the product is very good.

FIT PERFECTLY – TOOK FIFTEEN MINUTES TO INSTALL BOTH FLAPS
So far so good. Received the two replacement flaps for our RUFF WEATHER Pet Door. The old ones were rendered hors de combat after ten years of two sixty pound pooches coming and going through them often at full speed. The time had come to replace them.Ordered TWO replacement flaps (they come one to a box) and they were delivered today. Took me all of fifteen minutes to remove the old pair and install the replacements (eight screws combined). They fit perfectly and certainly look much better than the torn and bent old pair. One humorous side effect though. The two I ordered are perfectly clear. When Spirit went to come back in through the new door she saw her reflection in the plastic and started barking at herself. I had to show her that the new door really didn’t come with a new pooch attached.All’s well that ends well. Both pooches are once again coming and going as they see fit. Much too early to tell about durability of course but these are slightly thicker than the original flaps.Looks like another good Amazon purchase now. everyone stay safe and have a great day.

Good product…however…
This is a good product. Depending upon how much use (and abuse) it gets from your dog(s), it can almost last a year. Eventually, they need to be replaced because they begin to rip and tear at the fasteners – which leads to my next comment. This is a good product, but every year they go up in price; this year they have gone up $5 since my last purchase (I have 6 dogs, so I have to replace a flap just about every 6-7 months). At this rate, I will start purchasing from a different company if their prices continue to escalate.

This item is as listed. Fit perfectly took less than 3 mins to change both flaps.

It is actually 14″ total in length, for those that are afraid it may be too short.

we have 2 big dogs over a hundred lbs. each and they have used this door for over a year, even when it was 30 below, this door is strong and easy to install
