Overview
['The Precision Pet PN11256-KW Great Crate is a 48-inch wire crate designed for dogs weighing 90-125 lbs, with two doors for flexible placement and access from either side. Precision Pet built it with a 5-point locking system, a step up from the single-latch design on many basic wire crates, which matters for owners of strong or crate-savvy dogs that can nose open a simple latch.', 'The frame is iron construction finished in black, and it folds down for storage or transport despite its large size, with Precision Pet listing it as collapsible, durable, and heavy duty. At 48 inches by 30 inches by 32 inches, it gives a large dog real room to stand, turn around, and lie flat.', "At $156.42, it costs more than basic large wire crates but less than furniture-style or heavy-duty travel crates, and it's backed by a 1-year manufacturer's warranty. With 2,800 reviews and a 4.7 star average, it has a strong track record for a large-breed wire crate."]

Performance notes
The 5-point locking system is the standout feature here, giving more holding security than the simple slide-bolt latches on entry-level wire crates, which matters most for large, strong dogs. The iron frame construction and its listed collapsible, durable, and heavy duty features point to a crate built to handle daily use and repeated folding without the latches or frame loosening over time.
What buyers say
With 2,800 reviews and a 4.7 star average, this crate has built up a strong reputation among large-dog owners, and its Best Sellers Rank of #180 in Basic Dog Crates suggests consistent, ongoing demand.
The listing doesn't include a divider panel among its components, so if you need one to size the crate down for a growing puppy, you'd need to purchase it separately.
How secure is the 5-point locking system compared to a standard latch?
It uses five separate lock points instead of a single slide bolt, which generally makes it harder for a strong or nose-savvy dog to push the door open, though no wire crate is fully escape-proof for every dog.
Is this crate easy to store when not in use?
Yes, Precision Pet lists it as collapsible, so the iron frame can fold down flatter for storage or transport despite its large overall footprint.
